Central Park Boathouse

Perfect to sit outside, have a drink, and enjoy the view on a nice day. Make reservations in advance for dinner inside and enjoy the live piano .

So touristy uugh... But the canoe rental is real fun and can be relaxing, even if it is a workout to row!!! One hour for only $15, up to 4 ppl in the boat is great

The Crab cakes are a really good choice for appetizer . The ambience is unmatched in my life thus far. Sure the weather has much to do with it but it's definitely one of your best choices.

What a charming place amid wondrous Central Park ! Spectacular is the view ! Love it here in the quietness of the morning and dawning of a day. This is where you want to have a romantic lunch/dinner

The Bitches say: A-. Yay! We’re so glad the quality of Central Park Boathouse’s brunch matched the caliber of the beautiful ambiance. Eating brunch here in warmer months is a must for any New Yorker. Read more

My taiwanese friend came to NYC. It’s been almost three years since we’ve seen each other. We were going to go boating, however, there is no boat today. Anyway, the food is yummy and I love crab cake ~

Quick service for a romantic row boat around Central Park . It'll be tough to avoid the mobs of people coming in and going out but once you get past that, it's an amazing NYC experience

It’s just perfect. The view , the food, drinks. Literally everything is perfect in this place. Good for dates , very romantic atmosphere .

The restaurant here is one of the better places I've ever eaten. I've eaten steak tartar before in France and in Belgium but this is the best I've ever had. A truly beautiful setting doesn't hurt.

The service is a little slow, I guess it's because the 15% tip is already included to your bill, but the view and the food was good. I had a delicious octopus salad and scallops .

Amazing setting and one of few restaurants in Central Park , try the crab cakes and ask for a table with a view .

The Benny at the Central Park Boathouse is great! It isn’t too heavy on the Hollandaise sauce , and has a well proportioned amount of spinach . Read more

Go for the fresh brewed hibiscus tea and crab cakes At least 2-hour waiting during weekends, either go to the outside bar (only tapas/drinks but still nice) or during weekdays to avoid the crowds.

Absolutely great experience and great food. Service was great but when it got crowded it dipped a bit. Bread , Gem Lettuce, and Filet Of Beef are all amazing.

A quintessential New York spot. A great patio to have a drink or two to enjoy the park and the view .

rowboats available for rent 10am to sunset during the summer. cash only . you can also book a gondola ride with gondolier, must be reserved in advance

On a sunny nice day, you would be waiting for a boat forever. If you want to just enjoy the view , grabbing a drink at bar is the way to go. Takeout food is reasonable

Don't be intimidated by the line if you go for Sunday brunch . It moves faster than expected. Good food, awesome view . Take the seat by the window.

Though the food isn't necessarily exceptional considering the high price, it's fun to watch visiting boaters paddle by you while you munch on lunch dishes like herb-roasted filet mignon cob salad . Read more

If you look out to the water, then look to the right, you'll see a nice big sunny rock. Have your lunch then go take a break on the rock. It's bliss.

During the summer and spring it is a lot of fun to rent a boat and go rowing. It is great for a date and it is really relaxing. Also, if you take a picnic it is not very expensive .

Beautiful location in central park , with an amazing view of the pond .

Such a great view of the boating lake in Central Park and the food is really good! Not a cheap place but a winner with parents if they are in town visiting

A tad expensive but rowing is so romantic that you should definitely do it! Really good spot to propose from ????????

On Saturdays the brunch takes place until 4pm. Good food, fair service, great view and environment. Try the Blood Mary drink, fantastic!!!

The quiche is my go to brunch dish .

Golden pancakes and three egg omelette is the best combo under 10 bucks.

Delicious brunch and cool setting. Ideal for any SATC fan

Excellent service and food. Waited an hour for a table of 11 plus 3 kids. free dessert were offered end of this party.

Eggs benedict with salmon mind-blowing and the salmon was not cooked it just stayed perfectly smoked. Beautiful place too

Food and service was pretty meh, but the view and environment was spot on. Perfect brunch spot as long as you're not expecting the best food at that price.

Fall, with its beautiful foliage and cool breezes, is the perfect time to take a row. Boats hold up to four people, and cost $12 an hour. Sate your appetite at the Boathouse Restaurant afterward.

Great view , friendly waiters but really slow service! And the food is good.

I had this dessert last week, but I can't find it on the menu :( it's the best dessert ever!!!

During summer time, try not to sit underneath an A/C unit. Otherwise, you'll get soaking wet when it starts leaking non-stop.

Boathouse burger , beef hotdog with onion ????????

Really great Crab Cakes ! The weather was awesome which made the experience and view unbelievable!

Come around sunset and have a glass of wine with friends. Can't go wrong at this location.
