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.

Yesterday we called in a carry out order to eat on the patio. Everything was ready to go when we got there, and we were able to enjoy our food with a bottle of rosé by the water. We ended up tacking on an additional order of Oysters Rockefeller after we finished our initial carry out, and the staff kindly offered to bring them out to us. All the food was fantastic, the setting is beautiful, and the staff was attentive and friendly throughout the entire experience. We will absolutely return. Well done Boathouse staff!

Very impressed with Boathouse Traverse City, friendly staff and fantastic food. Our server Logan, was very helpful in recommending dishes and providing great service despite the current pandemic. A friend and I split the crab cakes and rack of lamb and they were both to die for. It’s hard to find a restaurant that does seafood and meat so well and Boathouse does just that! Highly recommend!! 

Business response:

Thank you so much for your kind words, Isabella! We appreciate it and we love to hear that you enjoyed your experience with us. :)

Very rude that my family and I were turned away because we had to big of a party, but truth of the matter is we weren't dressed up to there code. Very disappointing. Very rudely turned away.

I’ve never been talked to so rude by a hostess. Was told our family of 9 couldn’t be seated separately because the rude hostess “knew we were together”. Obviously when I said party of 9 that was a given. Excuse after excuse. But be sure to check the dress code before you go. If you just got off your boat and aren’t dressed up don’t bother going here. I’ll never recommend this place to anyone.

came in with a party of nine and were immediately turned away because we weren't dressed nice enough. We had just got off our boats and were wearing shorts and t shirts. The hostess was so rude and the manager appeared as if he was proud that she was such a snob to us. Guess our money wasn't green enough, too bad we usually tip at least 40% everywhere we go. You all acted like you were better than us and we were trash based off appearance of our clothing, too bad the staff is the real trash. What a joke.
