After much searching for a suitable location for my birthday celebrations we decided to go local and book the Boathouse following a recommendation from a friend. We chose to go with a set menu for our 18 guests, starting with a shared platter and then a choice of mains and again a shared platter for dessert. The entree platter was... More

Boathouse Restaurant in Frankston has recently been taken over by a new management. Lovely restaurant by the Kananook Creek... great outdoor seating area overlooking the garden and creek on a sunny day. Fantastic food, however, the servers are small. More

Ones first impresion perhaps dwells on the alleged formality of the restaurant, however the welcome and kind and warm efficient service places one at ease. Depending upon the weather to dine, inside, on the verandah or in the garden are all of equal delight. The food is well prepared and even when busy the staff that you are being attended... More

I have been here twice in the past month, returned a second time after experiencing good food & service on the first visit. Was slightly disappointed with the service on the 2nd time, however the food remained consistent. With polished floor boards and high ceilings it can become quite noisy when the restaurant is full.

The warm weather arrived and we went back for another leisurely lunch! The temperature was 35 degrees Celsius but we opted to sit outside under the beautiful shady trees in the garden setting. This was a wonderful decision and was so nice that we ended up staying almost till dinnertime! The staff were happy for us to sit peacefully in... More

On your way to the Peninsula and want to enjoy a delightful meal? Then "The Boathouse" (Nepean Highway frankston) is worth a try. There is both inside and outside dining areas and on a hot summer's day sitting on green lawn under the shade of the trees, is the way to go. There is a range of dishes to share,... More
