Dine on the Water, Stay for the Vibe

Lakeside dining with fresh food, cold drinks, and a dock-side seat on Hewitt's most scenic stretch of water.

About Us

Pull up by boat or by car, and the first thing you notice at D'Boathaus Restaurant is the view. The outdoor deck sits right on the water at 322 Lakeside Rd in Hewitt, NJ, and on a clear afternoon the lake does most of the decorating. That combination of scenery and genuinely warm service has earned the restaurant a 4.5-star rating from more than 270 guests who keep coming back.

The food earns its own applause. The smashed burger has become a guest favorite, praised in review after review for the quality of its ingredients. The kitchen takes that same care across the entire menu, whether you're ordering a quick lunch or settling in for a long dinner. Bartender Kristen and servers like Jen are the kind of staff who remember your face and make a crowded Saturday feel personal.

D'Boathaus is open seven days a week, starting at 11:30 AM every day, so there's rarely a reason to wait for the weekend. It's the kind of place where a Tuesday lunch on the water feels like a small vacation.

"We went there today on the boat with friends. We have been here before and it’s always amazing. Today we had the privilege of having Jen as our waitress and then we know Kristen the bartender from several times in the past. They’re both amazing and funny and make our visit so energetic and fun. The food is always amazing and they made the experience again one of the best we have on the lake. Our friends loved it and can’t wait to come back. And thank you Peter for always treating us as well!!!!!!!!"

"Great location and great staff. The outdoor seating is right on the water. That's the real draw here and makes for a very relaxing meal. The smashed burger was excellent and ended up being my favorite thing on the menu. I also tried the seafood platter, which was flavorful overall, though I found the lobster a bit chewy. The drinks were great as well. A nice spot to sit outside, enjoy the lake, and have a good meal."

"On a nice sunny, blue skied afternoon this is a love place to have brunch. Right on the lake. The food was really good. Not sure if they were short staff because the waiter took a bit to time to serve us and also the food took long to come out."

"Local Gem. Food was good (steaks were cooked exactly like we asked, “Juicy Well”). Fun, creative, drink menu; lots of fun original recipes. Amazing view (right on the Lake), service and drinks are great. Dock your boat and your steps away from fun. Plenty of outdoor dining. Brand new space. Bathrooms are neat and clean. Highly recommend."
