A Farm to Table Experience: D’Boathaus

On Jul 3, 2024

On the shores of beautiful Greenwood Lake in Hewitt sits D’Boathaus, a dining spot quickly becoming known for its modern American cuisine, handcrafted cocktails, craft beers and spacious outdoor patio where patrons can enjoy lake views as they dine. The “farm to table” establishment opened in July 2023, bringing excitement to greater West Milford and helping to make it a destination for boaters and food enthusiasts throughout the region.

Architect David Smith worked with the builder, Major Renovation Management, to bring the 3,074-square-foot space to life, bolstering the local economy and fostering a supportive work environment. The $1.8 million project created 15 construction jobs and has since led to full-time employment for 16 people – not to mention the positive ripple effect to surrounding businesses.

D’Boathaus sources fresh, local ingredients that not only make dining there a one-of-a-kind experience, but support the area’s agricultural sector. This includes produce from nearby farms and freshly caught fish, which spruce up the daily specials and seasonal menus. Add to that the fact that boaters can pull up to one of 30 slips on the property to either dine in or pick up takeout.

Beyond its economic contributions, D’Boathaus makes it a point to support local causes and activities, hosting a 2023 Halloween Party as well as weekly live music from area artists, industry nights to create networking opportunities, and public service nights to give back to the people who keep the community afloat.
