Raglan, Boathouse & Paddlefish Questions

[alimcn]

Trying to decide between Raglan, Boathouse & Paddlefish reservations for next week. We love Raglan and my daughter always enjoys dancing in stage. Are they still allowing kids to do that? If not, thinking maybe we'll try Paddlefish or Boathouse. Do both offer outdoor seating? Meeting our in-laws as well and while Raglan is a tradition for us, I think they would be comfortable eating outside. TIA!

I haven't seen any kids on stage since the Covid restrictions. Boathouse has more "outdoor" seating than Paddlefish. Paddlefish has a few tables on the ground floor that are bar seating and the rooftop is a lounge area.

Probably better luck securing an outdoor table with traditional dinner service at Boathouse.

We were at Raglan Road in April, and while the professional dancers were performing, they weren't allowing kids onstage.

If you think that your little will be disappointed if she can’t go on the stage, drop RR and concentrate on Paddlefish and Boathouse. Both have nice food so I guess it boils down to your personal preference and outdoor seating availability.

Paddlefish converted the upper deck to an outdoor dining room in recent times so it’s probably the same now along with the smaller section on the lower level.
Boathouse has at least seating for 50 between its 2 outdoor rooms (plus the lounge at the end).
Heads up for Paddlefish: don’t order the cornmeal fried lobster; you’ll be disappointed.
Have fun, stay safe.

We were there a week ago and I didn't see any kids on stage. With that being said, we had an amazing table and really enjoyed the music and dancing!!
