Back Bay Boathouse

[Crusty]

Saw this restaurant mentioned in another thread. I was there for dinner on Monday in a party of 10. An overall good experience. We ordered a variety of meals and appetizers. No complaints heard. The staff was pleasant, friendly, and competent. I had the half-rack of ribs w/fries. The french fries passed the crucial tests of crispness, not overly salted, and hot. The ribs were excellently cooked and the meat did "fall off the bones", just the way should be. I did not particularly care for their barbecue sauce. --It wasn't bad and I enjoyed the meal, but I probably wouldn't order the ribs again if the sauce was the same. The meals ordered by those within conversing distance were all well received. This is certainly a restaurant to put on my "I'll be back" list.
