About this business

When you dine at the Boathouse, you get the best of both worlds, culinarily speaking. We are locavores to be sure, but also connoisseurs of what the rest of the world has to offer, which means that our menus feature the freshest, finest ingredients from near and far. We procure as many local, seasonal products from the Grand Traverse Region as possible, and when we must go further afield (for our amazing Kobe beef or seafood, for example), we look for sources that practice sustainable agriculture and fishing.

We enjoyed our winter dining experience at a table by the fireplace. The menu had some great options you don’t typically find at other restaurants. Fresh & delicious. The service was very good. I would definitely recommend anyone that appreciates fine dining to go there.

Favorite road trip destination from Suttons Bay. Best ever changing Oyster selection. Staff goes out of their way to accommodate any needs. Only wish they could make a deal with the haters next door Marina so I could go by boat. Thanks for a great Saturday night. Jim Bemister

We celebrated our one year anniversary, and they made us a card, and gave us a small gift. That's hospitality at its finest. Their food is absolutely amazing! One thing you must try is their morel mushroom soup. It's amazing!! So is their Waygu beef. Thank you for everything.

My fiance took me here for the first time last night and it was incredible. We arrived an hour early for our reservation, but they sat us anyways at a table by the windows. Our waiter, Logan, was very friendly and took great care of us. Dinner was absolutely delicious; the scallops came out perfectly and the lobster cakes were amazing. The plate presentation was beautiful beautiful. We are definitely coming back. 

Business response:

Thank you so much for dining with us and for your kind words! We are so happy to hear you both enjoyed your meal and experience. :)

Very disappointed to support a local business during these times with locals supporting locals and getting 2 bottles of FRENCH wine when most wineries are shut down. Loved the stuffing cupcakes but the rest was meh. 

Business response:

Hi Mark, thank you for your feedback. The inability to provide Thanksgiving dinner to guests in our dining room with the pandemic shutdown orders made us pivot into carry-out dinners. This form of service is new to us and we are evolving to provide the very best meals in a take-out format that we can. We are sorry for your disappointment and a refund is available should you want one. As far as the wine program, we offer a larger selection of local wines than any other restaurant in Traverse City currently at about 40. In 201... read more

Truly incredible experience at the boathouse. My wife and I spent a week traveling northern Michigan and Traverse City was our last stop before headed home. Ended up being our highlight of the trip. We had the wagyu, halibut, oyster appetizer, soup, and a chocolate tart dessert. All of it were top notch. Not a cheap dinner by any means, but less than we were expecting with food, atmosphere, and service as good as this. Great job Boathouse team. We’ll definitely be back. 

Business response:

Thank you so much for your kind words, Alex! We are so happy to hear that you and your wife enjoyed your experience. We hope to see you again!
