The Shipyards

I had an avocado appetizer unbelievable. Never had it before and a totally new taste. Then I had the meatloaf dinner with the meatloaf on cauliflower mash and green beans. A short rib gravy topped the large portion of savory meatloaf, full of flavor. A roll would have been a nice compliment and that is the only complaint I have. The Tito's and soda with a twist of lime finished it off. All in all I can't wait to go back. Went back and our server Makenzie B was excellent. Very good food, very good drinks

Driving to this restaurant is literally like driving to a once-busy waterfront. Boats and vessels all around, an industrial feel to the area. The spacious red-brick building itself in former ship yard. It houses an event center and a restaurant: The Boiler Room.

The lively atmosphere is a cross between an English pub (with high ceilings) and a family restaurant.

The menu had tempting meat and fish dishes. We had been driving all day, eating roadstop food, and opted for side dishes. I had ginger rice, cauliflower mash and Brussels sprouts. My husband ordered the soup of the day - an onion soup and the hummus platter. The sides were great, the cauliflower mash tasted like garlic mashed potatoes and the
Brussels sprouts were fresh and well seasoned . The soup tasted fresh with just enough salt.
The staff was professional and helpful, they even carried our forgotten charge card to us in the car before we left the parking lot!

I was kinda nervous because some of the reviews were like it's just "okay". Let me give you my thoughts. We sat outside the view was great! We waited probably 5 or more minutes before anyone came over to us. Matt was our server and he was fantastic! Helpful, funny and just really good at his job! The food was yummy, drinks were cold and Matt made sure we never had empty beers! People also were complaining about the price? I think its on par with any other restaurant! Our beers were only $6! Anyway I will be back for sure, mostly because Matt made it a great experience and the view was great!
