   Service and food were both outstanding. Our server was very knowledgeable and led us to the delicious mushroom soup my husband and I both really enjoyed. Would recommend to anyone in the area for an upscale experience that delivers on all accounts.

   We treated our daughter and son-in-law to a mid week dinner at the Boathouse. It was very good, but not quite outstanding. I had the lobster but a little disappointed that it didn’t come with drawn butter. My wife had the Walleye which I tried and was very good. The Morel soup was very good but could have been warmer. It sounds like I’m nitpicking, and to a degree I am, but for the price it should have been “outstanding “. All in all it is a very nice restaurant and we will definitely return. Take these reviews with a grain of salt. It really isn’t fair to judge with only one experience. I look forward to trying other entree’s.

   We had such a great experience the other night at Boathouse! The food was absolutely phenomenal and was some of the best food I’ve had in the state of michigan! The appetizers were great and I’d highly recommend the sea scallops! The service was also great! Our server Dan was so attentive and was very knowledgeable and helpful with us about what to order! We came here for a birthday celebration but I will for sure be coming back if we are in the area!

    Simply marvelous! This is a tough place for reservations in the summer but offseason is the best. Food was lovely -- tempura fried asparagus was divine along with PEI oysters. Entrees of fresh walleye and elk chops were beyond compare. Server Tim was witty and entertaining and did a great job. Wine prices were surprisingly reasonable. All in all it was a wonderful dining experience. Please go!

    The Boathouse is our favorite restaurant for special occasions and never fails to delight us. From the ambiance to the wonderful service, we have always had a wonderful meal. Even better, this year the enclosed deck is open for service when weather permits. This restaurant takes extra steps to make you feel valued as a patron.

    Always clean and efficient, well decorated for the season but not overdone. Looked like a good crowd early even though the weather conditions were abysmal. The food was very good: soup and large shrimp, followed by surf and turf for two. A bottle of Conundrum to begin was a good start. Our waiter was friendly and efficient throughout. Always enjoy The Boathouse, especially on our anniversary. Not only because it's nearly the only restaurant open on Christmas Eve, it's a quarter mile from our home, but because it makes the day a little more special than it already is, considering the celebration at hand. We supported the restaurant during the pandemic but the only real way to enjoy The Boathouse is in person, and on-site.

    Among the finest around traverse, my Visit to the boathouse exceeded my expectations, just as it has in the past. Delicious food, welcoming service and the best setting possible, I will find every possible excuse to return. East coast oysters l that were deliciously briny, to the best morell and chanterelle bisque, and amazing beef preparations…. Hats off to the chef and will for curating this experience.

    For most of time at The Boathouse we were in a area by ourselves; big windows to view the bay and the absolutely stunning sunset. It was our wedding anniversary celebration and we were greeted many times with "Happy Anniversary". The food was outstanding and plentiful! The service was exceptional!

    We called several different restaurants trying to find one with a dish that included truffle mushrooms to fulfill a check box on a bucket list and the chef at The Boathouse said he would make sure he had a dish that included them. He also gave us the option of having a bowl of them on the side to get a really good taste! The dishes were beyond compare and the servers were kind and attentive without being pretentious. They answered all our questions and made good suggestions for us as well as told us some history in the area. They remembered we were coming in for an anniversary and every one of them wished us a happy anniversary and gave us a card and chocolates for it. We've been here before and we will keep coming back when we are in the area! So very good!!
