We just had lunch there yesterday. There were some misprints in some of the menus that were posted online. The asparagus side is $12 and you don't have to order a side, so if $12 isn't in your budget for asparagus, don't order it. They have lower priced lunch-type items as well. There are 3 of us (2 adult and 1 child) and we each had a full meal there; drink, appetizer, entree, dessert and coffee and our bill came to $158. This was our main meal of the day. I've paid much more at Narcoosee's, Cali Grill, Monsieur Paul, etc. IMHO, the food at Boathouse was much better than much of what I've eaten at Disney signatures. This is not a Disney owned restaurant. I had the salmon which was excellent and it came with a nice side salad. My son's tacos came with fries, so no need to order a side there either. There is plenty to order there that will not entirely break the bank. If you want to go nuts and order from the raw bar and steaks, you can, but it really isn't necessary to still enjoy a meal there.
My DH and I thought the food and service were both excellent! I would urge people not to judge this restaurant based on a misprint on the cost of asparagus!
