The Boathouse At City Point - Hopewell

Very busy Valentines Day. Food was good. Biggest problem was parking.

I arrived early thinking the food would be great I came to spend about $300 the food was very distasteful. I notice around 7 the food started to look amazing. We spend 300 and it was the worst ever

We had a most pleasurable Valentines lunch experience. Excellent service from Jeremy. My husband's steak was tasty and tender. My salmon was delicious. The Crispy Brussels Sprouts were superb. Wonderful view of James River on a lovely day.

The restaurant has a black/silver/gold linearly geometric design decor which I found very attractive. From any seat, scenic views of the river can be had. Our seating was at 3:30 p.m., and there seemed to be only one other party at the restaurant. Wait staff very pleasant and nicely attired. Quality food used we had a steak order and a salmon order. Salmon was excellent. Ordered medium temp steak but it was closer to well done than to medium, but taste and tenderness were good. Sides and sauces were not to my liking either too crispy or too sweet and peppery. Creme brulee was eggy and seasoning bland but crust was perfect! I enjoyed the rich black coffee I ordered with the dessert.

Very disappointed with the food quality. Especially given the prices! Scallops were extremely salty. Do not order them! The Brussel sprouts were straight up burnt. For that price point I expect much higher quality. This place used to be much better.
