The star of the show is the Stowaway Supreme Pizza, topped with an array of meats and fragrant vegetables, all nestled beneath a signature red sauce. For a lighter option, their Asian Chicken Salad combines grilled chicken, fresh vegetables, and crunchy almonds drizzled with sesame ginger dressing for a perfect balance of flavors.
But it’s not just the food that shines at Boathouse. As customer Beckie Van Alstine shares, “Beautiful views” and “delicious meatball sub” complement the welcoming service, providing an experience that feels both special and relaxed. Diners can enjoy their meals seated on the sprawling deck, complete with umbrellas to shield your eyes from the sun while you relish the tranquil lakefront vistas.
The drinks menu is equally enticing, featuring options like classic iced tea or a hot cup of coffee to enhance your dining experience. The affordability of meals—like the fish & chips or the Caesar salad that customers rave about—make this a go-to for casual dining. As Pamela Kruse-Buckingham pointed out, the fish & chips alongside a shared Caesar salad created a memorable meal without breaking the bank.
Overall, the Boathouse Bar & Stowaway Grill offers more than just food; it serves an inviting atmosphere where you can unwind, enjoy quality meals, and soak in the serene surroundings.

“ Beautiful views. Meatball sub was delicious with a flavorful marinara sauce. Got the fisherman's catch with fried fish, calamari, and coconut shrimp and was not disappointed. Great deck with chairs and umbrellas to enjoy the lake view while eating. Service was quick and friendly. Thank you! ”

“ Good food, reasonable prices, relaxed atmosphere. Just sitting by the lake enjoying dinner and drinks. What more could you ask for? ”
“ I had a really wonderful night here. We sat on the patio out back facing the water. Beautiful view, a cute local kitty and overall good spot out in the cuts for a nice view and bite to eat. I got the taco salad and i cant remember what my friends got. But there were good french friend and lots of cold drinks... perfect after a day out in the hot sun. I am giving 5 stars for what it is. Solid. Its nothing fancy, not fine dining.. if that's what you're looking for. But the atmosphere was really what we needed and I'm really glad we chose to come here... even ended up staying till the sun went down. I took no photos of our meal but heres the view and kitty.. ”
“ We stumbled upon a fantastic local spot while passing through Nice, CA. Diane, the bartender, was a delight and kept us entertained the entire time. The restaurant boasts a great atmosphere, great music, a beautiful boat dock and backyard to chill, and an exceptional bourbon jam bacon burger—the best I've ever tasted! This will definitely become a tradition for us. ”
