McLoone's Boathouse: A Scenic Waterfront Dining Experience

Went for a birthday/ Christmas brunch with friends and family. Although it was far for me and a bit crowded as expected during the holidays, it was lovely! Very festive, buffet was kept replenished, fresh and clean. Waitstaff was professional and attentive to our big party of 10 and a great time was had by all. Will certainly be back again!

McLoone's is a West Orange staple. The food is delicious and freshly made, and inexpensive on top of all that. The wait staff, especially Najii, are incredibly attentive, constantly filling the water glasses and checking if we need anything. The views of the lake are awesome. If you've never been here you should come immediately, and if you've been here before you need to come again.

McLoone’s Boathouse offers stunning lakeside views and a tasty American menu with seafood, steaks, and burgers. It’s perfect for special occasions and scenic dining after the zoo. Service and food quality can be hit-or-miss on busy days, but when it’s good, it’s great!

Great place! The outdoor seating is gorgeous, the vibe is amazing, and yes — it’s super pet friendly. Huge win! They even made a special grilled, unseasoned steak for my pup even though there’s no dog menu. Talk about five-star service! As someone who eats gluten-free, I was so impressed with their options — everything was delicious and safe for me to enjoy. I’ve been here twice and the food, vibe, and service never miss. Highly recommend!

Had a birthday dinner here and loved the relaxed, laid-back vibe. The atmosphere is super chill, perfect for just hanging out and enjoying a meal. I tried the pretzel, potato leak, and a burger, all three were really good, tasty, and satisfying. Service was friendly and the overall experience made for a nice, low-key celebration. Definitely a great spot if you’re looking for casual, comforting food in a relaxed setting!

A great restaurant!!!! Larger than I had remembered the room felt intimate and cozy. The roaring fireplace added to a the perfect ambiance for a cold winter night. The food was fabulous with ample servings. Our server Najii made us feel special and was very attentive and friendly. The meal was served in a timely manner with lots of attention to detail. We ordered the lamb Osso Bucco and the Salmon entrees - fabulous. Can't wait to go back and sit outside on the patio.

First of all huge thanks to our amazing sever Micki! She was so sweet! She made the experience definitely 10/10 the food and atmosphere was stunning but mickis kindness and professionalism put the cherry on top. I came to celebrate my anniversary with my boyfriend and we had a great time. Thank you Micki for giving us an amazing experience

My wife and I went for dinner. Sat on the patio overlooking the reservoir. Waitress was friendly, fun, and checked on us diligently. Shrimp appetizer was delicious, entrees were excellent (skirt steak and salmon), dessert was perfect end to outstanding overall experience (incredible carrot cake and chocolate peanut butter cake). Prices were very much aligned with the quality of the food and experience (good value). Walked around the reservoir after dinner.
