Another component of the Boathouse success formula, adds Wood, is the low turnover among employees. Many of our personnel have been here since Day One. They re used to working with one another and understand the importance of teamwork. From the way we prepare food to the way we interact with customers, we re driven to be the best restaurant in our market, she adds. Wood describes the Boathouse atmosphere as relaxed and casual.
People feel just as comfortable here in shorts as they do in a coat and tie.
Both restaurants reflect Stoney s love of wooden boats teak, mahogany and other nautical woods dominate the d cor. But Wood points out differences between the two establishments. Seating 152, the Breach Inlet restaurant is smaller, more intimate and offers waterfront dining. The more spacious East Bay Street restaurant which seats 175 features a sushi bar in addition to a raw bar. Customers can chose between two diverse, appealing environments while enjoying the same core menu, says Wood.
