Boathouse Restaurant Traverse City Reviews
Date night
The shrimp in the cocktail were wet and mushy. The Oyster Rockefeller were watery small and $8 each., totally over priced. The Cobb salad was made of dull, tasteless salad end pieces. We did not progress to dinner entrees as the starters were awful
Great foot, service and a beautiful view.
Just always an amazing experience time after time. It's pricey but a real treat.

Once again visiting the Traverse City area and got a reservation for our party of 4 for dinner. So refreshing to recognize the wait staff from previous years. Catherine was our waitress and she is the best..knowledgeable of the menu, how foods are pr

We celebrated our anniversary here last night, and we cannot suggest this place enough. Food was fantastic! Service was wonderful. Highly suggest the mushroom soup!
Elegant and refined dining with excellent service
We started out with the mushroom soup and a shrimp cocktail. I’ve never seen a more elegant shrimp cocktail— six jumbo shrimp, freshly shaved horseradish on top of the cocktail sauce, and a lemon half in a wrap so you don’t get seeds. I had the
Worth a visit
Another great meal and beautiful experience at The Boathouse. They help create wonderful memories. The food is fresh and delicious. Excellent wine list and cocktails. Our server, Brian was great. This place is always worth a visit.
Very nice place!

The food is fantastic, and the servers are really there to help. This is a great place, especially for special occasions. We particularly like going to the bar for sandwiches and drinks. And the kitchen dinners are a wonderful experiences, including

The food was good but overpriced ($6 for ONE oyster?). Beautiful location. Terribly noisy; conversation was almost impossible.

We were looking for a fine dining restaurant and this is hands down one of the best restaurants I've eaten at. The service was phenomenal and our server Tim was the most friendly and genuine man. He gave use recommendations, and went in depth on

This restaurant is beautiful! The food exceeded expectations! The young bartender with the mustache made excellent drinks and an even better recommendation to enjoy them on the back lawn when we finished our food! We can't wait to return next ti
Three of us ate in the bar area.
Our server was acerbic, rude, and basically had a holier-than-thou attitude from the beginning. We asked immediately for two separate checks. Two of us ordered a cobb salad and asked if we could add Salmon to it. We were assured we could. The third o
Cannot say enough about the Boathouse.
! Not cheap but worth the money. Service is always top notch and the food is on point. Great selection of seating both inside and out.
Food is usually well prepared with a decent variety.
Ambiance is good with outside dining on the water, inside is very comfortable. The only downside is they have to depend on a lot of youth that are not experienced enough to give the kind of service you would hope for.
Go ahead - order the 1 lb lobster tails. Your know your want it.
Great dinner, beautiful lake views, well managed. Made a reservation and were seated promptly on arrival. Had the oysters Rockefeller and Morel / Chantelle bisque as appetizers, excellent with nice large pieces of Morel and Chantelle throughout.
Our party of three ate in the bar area. We asked our server up front for two separate checks. One person in our party of three ordered a side salad, which our server said he would bring out before her entree. Two people each ordered a salad. We a
It was the first time as I entered the restaurant.
It's very well run and the service is excellent and the food and the drinks as well. I sat at the bar. I walked outside, sat in one of the Adirondack chairs and enjoy the scenery of the lake.
Extremely overpriced and nothing special for the high
Extremely overpriced and nothing special for the high prices. Our food was so salty we could hardly some of it. It was like the cook dumped a container of salt on the food. We only went because my daughter had been there 8 years ago and wanted to go
Dinner
The main dishes we had were wonderful; salmon and halibut. However if you have food born allergies; the chef was not accommodating. At the price point overall, I think an experienced chef would make an effort to appease customers and make simplifica

After several years enjoying the service, ambiance and food, our latest visit was a big disappointment. 6 of us in the party, 2 got surf and turf, and both were fine with that, but it is not a stretch to cook a filet and lobster tail. The others wer
Wonderful experience
Beautiful atmosphere with a great view. Food was excellent. We had the surf and turf for 2. Nice wine list and service was very good. We look forward to going back again when we are in the area.
Fantastic!

I am so impressed with Boathouse!! This is my second time coming here and I'm still in love with the quality of food and service they provide! We were seated immediately in the sunroom upon arriving to our reservation of 6 people. The view from
Wonderful Morel Mushroom soup
The Morel mushroom soup was delicious, best I’ve had. Halibut was very good also. Lovely views! Looking forward to returning later this summer.
Highlight of our Trip!
This is by far our favorite restaurant in the Traverse City area. It's got such a warm, comfortable and welcoming vibe. The food is always consistent and absolutely delicious. Creative cocktails with a local fair. It's the highlight of ou
Wonderful girls dinner
I really don’t write many reviews. Only if I feel an overwhelming desire because they were extremely good or extremely bad. Fortunately, I can say the Boathouse was exceptional! We were on a girls trip to Mackinaw Island and this was our last day b

AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Boathouse Restaurant Traverse City. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Boathouse Restaurant Traverse City at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Boathouse Restaurant Traverse City page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* PerceptiveWash44, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* PerceptiveWash44 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to PerceptiveWash44 for any questions Peter may have as PerceptiveWash44 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* PerceptiveWash44 now uses their connections at Boathouse Restaurant Traverse City to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If PerceptiveWash44 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, PerceptiveWash44 receives the $200 reward which is credited to PerceptiveWash44's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Boathouse Restaurant Traverse City!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
