Takeout service may be unavailable when Boatwerks is extremely busy so we can remain focused on the service of our dine-in guests. Also, during peak season (May–September), takeout is not available at Boatwerks.

Does Boatwerks Offer Vegetarian Options?

Yes, Boatwerks offers several vegetarian dishes that are denoted on our menu. (Please note that items denoted as vegetarian may contain eggs and dairy.)

Many of our other dishes can be modified to be vegetarian. Our chefs are always happy to prepare customized dishes for guests upon request, so talk with your server about additional options for your specific dietary needs.

Does Boatwerks Offer Gluten-free Options?

Yes, Boatwerks offers several items made without gluten-containing ingredients, and this is denoted on our menus. However, our kitchen is not a gluten-free environment, so it is possible these menu items could come into contact with gluten during preparation. If you’re highly sensitive to gluten, please let your server know upon being seated.

How Does Boatwerks Accommodate Specific Allergy Requirements?

Our chefs are always happy to prepare customized dishes for guests upon request, so talk with your server about your specific dietary needs. If you’re allergic or highly sensitive to any ingredient, please let your server know upon being seated.

What Is the Dress Code at Boatwerks?

Come as you are! Boatwerks does not have a required dress code but does require shirts and shoes for service. We pride ourselves on a relaxed, casual atmosphere. Our waterfront restaurant is the perfect place for a family dinner, business meeting, friendly get-together, or special private event.

What Are Your Holiday Hours?

Our holiday hours vary depending on the holiday. Boatwerks is closed on Christmas and New Year’s day to allow our team to spend time with family and friends.

Please note that Boatwerks may close early on holidays or days before holidays at the discretion of the management team. Please call to ensure we are open if you are planning to visit us close to closing time on those days.

Do You Offer Catering?

At RedWater Restaurants, our primary focus is on in-restaurant dining. However, we do offer some limited catering options that can be found on our RedWater Events website. Please contact our RedWater Events team for more information.
