Had lunch today at The Boatyard in Frisco today. Ambiance in the restaurant was appealing when you first walk in. It was snowing and cold outside and the feel of the place was warming. The specials sounded good but I opted for the Chicken Piccata off the regular menu. At 14.95 for lunch I expected something great and was not quite appeased. The presentation was ok, the chicken was set upon a bed of broccoli and cauliflower that didn’t look fresh at all. The sauce was runny and was cut with way too much lemon juice. The chicken was cooked well and the coating of asiago and parmesan cheese was very good. After I finished the chicken and was done with the meal (it was the only good part) I told the waitress about the vegetables and she revealed to me that the produce that they used was not fresh but frozen! It explained everyone and I’m sorry but The Boatyard in Frisco gets a THUMBS DOWN for using frozen vegetables! 

The wine list was decent, they had a mix of the usual bottles from grocery and cheap liquor stores mixed with a some good unique wines. The glass that I had was from a bottle that had been open for a few days and was obvious. I had to have them open a new bottle but they were more then happy.

The Boatyard gets a thumbs down for food and a thumbs up for service. A restaurant with a great space and good people and with some small tweaks on the food has the potential to be great!

They have no website but if you Google them you can find some reviews on other travel sites.
