We arrived in Ely late and stopped in to Boathouse Brewery about 20 minutes before the restaurant portion closed. My wife and I have both worked in the service industry, we know how awful it is to get customers just before you are getting ready to close. We offered to get takeout, but the waitress assured us that she had a number of things to do before closing up and that it wouldn't be a problem to dine in. As it turned out, she welcomed another group in about 10 minutes later.
We ordered a pizza and two salads. The salads were huge for being side salads and the pizza was outstanding. The service was fantastic.
When we return to Ely, we will be sure to return to Boathouse Brewery based on the great food and service we experienced on this trip.
