Our lovely server, Bee, brought us a couple of their creative cocktails: \u2018Sunrise in Santorini,\u2019 which arrived in a clay dish atop a bed of seashells and shaved ice, and \u2018Forbidden Fig\u2019 mixed with bourbon, grapefruit, and hibiscus. Spritzes, fine wines, and craft beers are on hand and promise pure refreshment on a hot summer night while overlooking the greatest city in the world.<\/p>\n

Small plates are great to share while you sip or start your dinner. We began our meal with Boathouse\u2019s exceptionally delicious grilled octopus with baby potatoes, olives, and cherry tomatoes with a puddle of red pepper almond sauce ($26). Savory lamb meatballs with merguez sausage come with baby potatoes, tzatziki sauce, and toast points to soak up the wonderful juices ($21). Our beet salad was bright with sweet beets, arugula, grapefruit slices, and red onion with tangy vinaigrette. Dip into creamy spinach dip with Parmesan cheese and toasted baguette or pass around the crispy fried calamari with harissa aioli and cilantro.<\/p>\n
