Splash at the Boathouse

Splash at the Boathouse — Plenty of Burlington eateries offer al fresco dining, but only one lets you eat on the lake. Literally. At Burlington’s Splash at the Boathouse, the outdoor seating is located on a floating dock. You can enjoy the view of Lake Champlain and the Adirondacks while eating a lobster Cobb salad, some Malibu Rum coconut shrimp or fish tacos. Splash is also an event space, hosting weddings, dance classes and business meetings. Whatever brings you there, watching the sunset over the water as you dine is an unparalleled experience. Arriving by boat? No problem. There are slips for that.
