noosa boathouse

we were a group of hospitality workers who came here for a nice dinner on a night out. we regretted it immensely.
firstly, we made three orders of fish and chips and as stated on the menu chose our fish from the "daily fish" board. however, when we received the bill it was obvious the waitress did not take the order correctly and we instead were given "fish of the day with chips" which in fact is $8 more expensive. additionally, our friend also ordered calamari ($29) as a mainmealand only received 5 pieces (approx).

when explaining the issue to our waitress, she became defensive of her mistake and placed all of the blame on us. she then told her manager, and returned to our table stating the mistake had been "amended". we assumed this meant the prices of our meals had been changed to what we ordered - $29 vs. $37.

however, whilst we were paying we found that we had been over charged. upon inspection, we found that the manager had only "amended" one of the meals to the original price, leaving us to pay full price for the two remaining meals that were incorrectly served to us.

overall, it was a terrible experience. we are a young group (19yrs and 20yrs old) but it still wasn't fair to treat us the way they did and put all the blame on us. any other restaurant would have apologised and rectified all the mistakes.
our food was overpriced for the portion and poor quality that we received. if i could rate less than one star i would.

being in noosaville for our birthday holiday we wanted a seafood treat on our special day. we trawled zomato for hours and finally we decided to book the noosa boathouse after chatting to the lovely lady at the little cafe at the front of the boathouse.
we had cocktails upstairs in the sunset bar before ourmeal(see review for sunset bar).
we had already decided we would have the 3 tiered seafood platter for 2 before we even arrived.
staff were helpful, but super busy and run off their feet.
water bowl and wipes and waste bowl came promptly after ordering. we did wait for a while for our wine, but it did finally arrive in a tall ice bucket.
our platter arrived not long after the wine and it was filled with salt n pepper calamari, battered barramundi, mooloolaba prawns, moreton bay bugs, oysters and more. it was very tasty and the seafood sauce, tartare and ailoi accompanying it enhanced the flavours beautifully.
what did let the place down was the noise!
so noisy, not a place for a quiet romantic meal.
would definitely be back for there lunch specials.

booked a table after a few photos of this place came up on my instagram...so happy i did! the service from our young waiter was exceptional, polite and lovely. for main i ordered the pork belly and partner ordered the steak. food was sensational, full of flavour and decent servings. we were both so impressed...haven't had a greatmeallike this in a while!

extremely disappointed. we had dinner here and found it very ordinary. the seafood wasnt fresh and the oysters tasted like they were from the supermarket and swamped in sause and soggy bacon. the wholemealwas just like someone else said...surf club quality. its extremely expensive and they really are just trying to be something that their not. nobody at our table enjoyed our meal. whatever you do dont get the donuts for desert, they were very doughy and just plain disgusting. definitely would not recommend this place to anyone. the only positive is that our waitress was a very sweet attentative girl and does not deserve a negative comment. the manager woman, at least thats who i think she is...a little annoying with her hovering.

can't say we were looking forward to visiting this place after all the bad reviews and word of mouth on this place we went anyway because we had a gift voucher. this restaurant is trying to be something it's not. the menu is nothing new with 5 star prices and surf club quality food but worse! the service is good but the waiters are just kids with no real hospitality experience. the seafood isn't fresh and the duck was dry the only good thing was probably the wine/beer. we couldn't wait to finish themealand go home we were annoyed we had to pay on top pf of voucher. i have no idea how they survive as everyone there wern't impressed either. there are sooo many good places around noosaville to go besides this joint. we won't be returning to this place ever! such a joke

the boathouse must have changed for the better. we were greeted by very friendly and knowledgeable staff. we chose the lunch special, calamari entree, grilled fish and a glass of wine for well under $30. thismealwas well prepared, hot and fresh. themealwas served while we enjoyed the excellent river setting. the staff were quite attentive to when we were to be served. we asked not to be rushed as some other places seem to do. seemed very popular and the range of meals others around us chose showed they cope with diversity.
earlier reviews on this site seem a long way from what we experienced. seems management has addressed those issues. we are considering this restaurant to become our regular, hence our favourite.

where do i start. as soon as we walked in we were 'greeted' (if you could call a grumbled 'hello' as that) by a moody teenager who was clearly hating life. we ordered an entree of toasted ciabatta with goats cheese and balsamic onions, and were given two tiny tea saucers to eat off, which resulted in themealalmost landing in our laps. i had the steak sandwich as a main, which came out on a slippery bread board that was sliding around the table as i tried to eat. the steak was seriously over cooked, and tough, i could barely cut through it with the "steak" knife provided. all in all the service was terrible. give me a pontoon and a bbq and i could put this restaurant to shame. what a waste of a great location.

a little disappointing. found the meals to be a bit overpriced for the quality of them. i have no trouble paying $30 for amealif the quality is there, but unfortunally these werent. waitress seemed a little like she couldnt be bothered and the ambience was terrible for being in such a prime location on the water, sorry- a miss for me!
