About this business

They may not share the same name, but the Arkansas River is essential Colorado. Its foamy rapids and tree-lined bends are a place where beauty and adventure meet, and we opened Boathouse Cantina on its banks to embody all things Colorado. From our locally sourced organic produce and grass-fed beef to the cozy and natural interior or our Salida cantina, everything we do is to honor the place we're lucky to call home and to serve the best to its people. Next time you find yourself taking in the beauty of the Arkansas River or ... read more

We try to add a little variety & mix it up every time we come to visit the Boathouse Cantina on our little trips from Denver and we are never disappointed. The chicken strips...so good. I took a shot at the pot roast sandwich and, surprisingly enough, this took me back in time to the big city Italian restaurants in Chicago and their ever loved Italian Beef sandwiches once you add that pepper relish! I also love that they have opened the bar area since last time with live music and a waiting area. I see some complaints on her... read more

Getting a waitress to take my order took forever. I ordered the mussels and they were very overcooked and there lots of broken shells. Great views though! 

Business response:

Thanks for taking the time to leave us a rating, Mary. While I'm happy to read you were loving that view, I'm disappointed you weren't as impressed with our service and those mussels. I appreciate your feedback, and I hope we'll get another chance to impress you soon. -Becca, Manager

Not too busy at 4 pm on a Wed, so we were immediately seated at a table inside with a view of the beautiful, raging Arkansas River. Service was prompt and good. All of us enjoyed our meals. Guacamole and chips appetizer was superb! 

Business response:

Debbe, I'm happy your first visit here did not disappoint! It doesn't get much better than good food and a good view, does it? Thanks so much for the stellar rating. I look forward to the next time you join us for a meal. -Becca, Manager

Terrible service. After checking in, getting one of those vibrating/light square notification boxes and then waiting an hour for a table, we were told we weren't on the list. After speaking with the manager we we're finally seated but it was another hour before we got food. The river view was wonderful but not worth the hassle and time it took. All together, we were there just under 3 hours for lunch. Waitress was very unattentive. For the most part, our food was good. We'll pick another place next time. There are lots of go... read more

Terrible service, food not so great. Waited 45 minutes for a table. Waitresses were grouchy. 

Business response:

Hey there, Jill. We hold ourselves to high standards when it comes to providing each and every guest with an excellent dining experience. That being said , this weekend was our busiest weekend of the summer with the FIBARK festival and our wait time goes up dramatically . The servers can do nothing about that, and they take the brunt of the complaints. I will make sure to talk to my staff about staying positive during tough circumstances. If you come back in please ask for me so that I can make sure you have a better experie... read more

With the sweet view and awesome staff, one of my favorites in Colorado! I'm hoping for more gluten free options this time around, but look forward to my next visit!
