Boathouse Restaurant
Harbor Island, San DiegoClosed
Now closed. Roger's review was built entirely around Boathouse's Wednesday lobster night special ($11.99 for a one-pound lobster), since he found the regular-price entrees and service mediocre the rest of the week.
Boathouse Restaurant closed permanently in June 2019 after nearly 50 years on Harbor Island. This page keeps Roger's 2015 review as a record, not as a place to visit.

“a one pound lobster for $11.99 is all I need to get me into the door.”
Review is specifically about the Wednesday lobster night special; regular-price entrees during the week were "quite mediocre" with service that wasn't top notch. Reservations recommended after 7pm to avoid a 45+ minute walk-in wait. Each diner on the lobster special must order one additional item.
Roger's regular Sunday brunch for years running: bottomless mimosas, an all-you-can-eat seafood spread and a bay view he ranks above even the pricier Hotel Del brunch.
