People become regulars at restaurants for different reasons—sometimes it's the view, sometimes the food, sometimes just knowing what they're getting. A restaurant that lasts builds something that works consistently, whether the draw is the setting, a particular dish, or simply that it's reliable. The best restaurants understand their neighbourhood and what their customers actually want from them, rather than trying to be everything. A waterfront location brings people in once; what keeps them coming back is whether the place understands its own strengths and commits to them.
The Boathouse Cafe and Restaurant has clearly found that balance on The Esplanade.
