A short walk from the Cruise ship and we found ourselves in a pub that had a great atmosphere.
The female entertainer was excellent and very easy to listen too!
The outdoor dining area was an excellent choice and the meals were of ample size and cooked to our expectations.
Added bonus was the craft market and a small item was purchased.

I recently visited the Boston Hotel Cafe and ordered the vegetarian bowl. The vegetables were fresh and delicious, and the black rice was cooked perfectly. However, the portion size was surprisingly small - I'm not sure if anyone in the kitchen is a vegetarian, but it's hard to imagine that such a minimal amount of veggies could be a full meal for one person. I ended up going into town to buy a smoothie because I was stil hungry, and I'm not a big eater. It would be great if they could boost the bowl with halloumi or even add a fried egg on top to make it more substantial. I did ask for for a vegetarian boost when I ordered it, but was told lamb and chicken were my only option. Weird for a vegetarian meal.

The location, though, is stunning - right on the water with a beautiful view. The restaurant itself is very elegant, with tables and everything else spotless and tidy. I sat outside and it is a lovely space The staff were well-dressed and professional, though I felt they lacked a bit of personality. A touch more warmth and attentiveness in the service would have really enhanced the experience. Overall, a lovely spot with great flavors, but there's room for improvement in portion size and service.

Went there with partner and two our lovely French bulldogs. The hotel outdoor area brings me back to Bali experience. Big yard can enjoy the food and drinks, and you can go down to the beach straight away. The food comes very quickly, and I would say for the price, it's actually a generous portion size.

Great sea side spot with solid food, nice bar, outside area. Good bar selection and tasty food options. They also have a slot area ( separated from regular bar area) - which is not that nice.
You can walk from the lounge via the outside sitting area to the beach. You can rent outside areas for events. They have cabana kind areas and fenced off area with its own bar for private area.

Hotel has definitely undergone a transformation from memory.
Dinner menu was good. Staff were efficient and helpful. Was asked multiple times if they could do anything further. Food was good also.
Atmosphere for Father's Day was buzzing. Good vibes. Just a good night out.

Spent 14 days in Pt Lincoln for work and had the ABSOLUTE pleasure of enjoying lunch every single day (sometimes dinner) at the Boston!

Food was SENSATIONAL not one bad meal, Everything is prepared in house and FRESH! I have never eaten anywhere I have been impressed with so much!

Beautiful setting inside and out, pleasure to sit and relax and enjoy the view!

For the most important part, The staff!! EVERY SINGLE time myself and my colleagues walked in, we were welcomed like we were family! not one member of staff looked unhappy or disinterested. That is extremely rare these days. Thank you greatly for your hospitality and we look forward to dropping by again some day!

(Snitty has no salad as I requested no salad)

Had a the fabulous Hooked Platter for 2. There was easily enough for 3 or 4. Mussels casserole was divine. Probably could do without the chips - we didn't even touch them. But if sharing between 3 or 4 you might want. Good wine list and would be gorgeous in better weather with the outdoor aspect.

The best service anyone could ask for located in an amazing place with a beautiful view. The food was absolutely amazing. And our I like to read where dogs are and dog was warmly welcomed and offered a drink. I would totally recommend this place to anyone. Especially those travelling with a dog.

Really nice pub in an awesome location. We had lunch here, we both had fish and salad with chips with a Coffin Bay fresh oyster starter! Everything was fresh and I mean fresh! Right down to the oil the chips were cooked in! This is Ala Carte dining whilst looking over the bay! I would give this place 6 stars!

We had dinner and it was the best destination for dining by light years. We had the kangaroo and the beef cheeks and they were exceptional. The atmosphere is so good. When weather is good the back area has dining tables and a grassy area has casual seating over looking the foreshore. Service was great and relaxed vibe.

Anyone would sit back and think you have gone to paradise,when you are here.such an amazing place. great food as well

The place to go here, the Hunter platter for 2, out of this world taste & value, coming back asap & a fantastic outdoor area that can cater for functions too with a million dollar view

Nice Pub just up the road from the Hilton Motel (walking distance). Bear garden right on the Bay.
Friendly staff, good Pub food. The only negative, is that the wine list seems quite expensive.

Would not recommend. The staff were miserable from the get go which should have been the first give away. Didnt see them smile once. Thought given we are in a city known for it's seafood, the hooked platter would be the way to go. How disappointed we were. The calamari was overcooked and rubbery, parts of the fish overcooked and the best part of the mussel pot was the chorizo. The highlight of the platter was the steamed veggies. We appreciate it's Easter Saturday and we are sure they would rather be with their families but if you work in the hospitality industry then it is expected that some level of service is provided. Felt like an inconvenience ordering dinner and drinks, considering no table service and 10% public holiday surcharge.

Was so looking forward to our dinner but was so disappointed!! Great location but let down by the food and poor service. Overpriced and bland. Ordered the spring rolls came with an awful dipping sauce overflowing in small bowl. Steak was very bland, no seasoning on anything. Used bao bun for a so called taco. Would not return.

Had a great lunch after walking along from campsite all alongside the water and port. When we got to the hotel it was perfect , dog friendly , great staff cocktails to die for and our lunch was fantastic...
Would come here again on a heartbeat .. afterwards we went to the beach just below the hotel and if you had kids you could enjoy a drink whilst they played on the beach. Perfect

What a beautiful hotel, didn't have a meal there but enjoyed a drink looking out to the water. Dog friendly supplied water bowls for dogs. The grassed area is awesome, would recommend..

This is a glorious pub with a beautiful view.
Visited twice in two days and the only thing letting it down is the food unfortunately. Both times waited about an hour for food. Both occasions dishes coming out at separate times and it wasn't overly busy. The food it's self was hit and miss. I'd say 3 of the 8 meals were VERY average and 2 were great with everything else in between. All of that aside the people here were absolutely lovely and the beer garden is to die for. I'll be back again next time I'm down and hope to be able to update this review to 5 stars.

Mint Venue on the water. Staff were great. Good pub grub.
Get rid of the balls outside for kids to play with, absolute mayhem. Parents don't watch their kids kicking balls at people while eating, drinking and listening to the band. Several glasses smashed. A hotel is an adult venue and families should be able to dine out, but look after your children and teach them how to behave in a restaurant.
Great job to the staff running out food and drinks dodging the flying missiles.

Stopped here for lunch while on a cruise.
We had a range of dishes (starters, salads, fish and steak).
The surf and turf (with eye fillet) was outstanding. Best seafood mix we have ever had and the steak was excellent, tender and cooked perfectly.
The fish was, as expected, delicious and super super fresh.
Overall the produce across all the dishes was fresh and well prepared.
Highly recommend.

Fantastic night out. Called in for a beer the day before and had to come back for dinner, made a reservation and wasn't disappointed.

Gluten Free options for the daughter, and seafood for the wife before we left Port Lincoln.

Kids had the Boston burgers and we shared the Seafood Platter for two.

The staff were all so pleasant and accomodating

100% fantastic meal and dining experience enjoyed by everyone.

Food took more than hour. Food was way over priced and not very good. Steak was over cooked. Garlic prawns with rice was drowning in sauce with very little rice and maybe 8 prawns. Child carbonara again so much sauce it was hard to eat. Chicken burger was the best meal we had. Payed $190 in total plus a dozen Oysters. Again on the small size and over priced. The views are great though in their beer garden but wouldn't eat here again. Only drinks and then going some where else for dinner. The Italian on the main strip was far superior to the meal we got and cheaper too.

The pub and staff are nice. The food is very expensive for what it is. Nearly a hour wait for our meals, so we just sat there and listened to screaming kids and watched them roll on the floor and play with the main door. My husband had to leave for a breather after the kids ran around our table.
First and last visit for us.

Waited far too long for our main meal and they didn't come out at the same time, even though there was only three of us. Would've been ok if the meals were better. I feel we paid top price for a very average schnitzel. Chewy with a very lame salad. Although lovely setting we were not impressed.

Had a great night, we both had Seafood Marinara, plenty on the plate. So full after. Great meal. Wine was the house Shiraz, very nice also. The venue is perfect for celebrations or just a quiet meal.

The staff were very friendly and helpful during my visit both in Dining and gaming areas. Definitely will be returning to the good old Boston Hotel on my next visit to Pt Lincoln!!! So I won't say much more other than check it out to rate your very own experience.....

An amazing experience dinning at Hotel Boston with a menu to please all. The price may seem a little on the expensive side but the quality of the meals is just superb, best scotch fillet steak of all time and cooked to perfection. Moreish beer battered fries on the side and small salad with delicious sweet dressing.

Definitely will be returning, and the size of my friends schnitzel was crazy big. Had to take the other half home and as for service just perfectly friendly professional crew.
I love good food and I was not disappointed ??'? family friendly atmosphere and doesn't feel like a pub, more like a restored beautiful building dinner area.

Beautiful pub and unfortunately That's it.
Food quality is very poor for the price.
My eye fillet was definitely less than the size on the menu. It was literally 4 bites and had gristle throughout.
Servers don't quality check nor do they care.
Such a shame.

I had king fish and it was yum. Especially the mango sauce over it. My husband had Whiting which was cooked to perfection. We both really enjoyed our meal.

This is a great location for a good pub, the outdoor dining area is million dollar view. Lovely relaxed vibe.
Meals were great- I ordered tuna which was perfectly cooked

Found this place while cycling on the waterfront path. There was this amazing and inviting garden. We only wanted to stop for a drink, but ended up staying for the whole afternoon and dining. Friendly staff, good food and drink. Highly recommend
