Reviews For Boat Club Restaurant

The food was amazing, the service was even better! We went here tonight for an anniversary dinner, It wasn’t planned, we made reservations an hour beforehand. The NY strips were amazing, great flavor, they looked hand trimmed with a nice fat cap but not overly thick, and grilled to perfection. Crab Oscar was pretty good, could have used a little more seasoning, but with the steak, it was a great combination. Potatoes and Shrimp were also cooked very well. And they surprised us with a delicious happy anniversary desert! Ben the waiter was great, took a bit to warm up to tables, but by the time we left he was smiling and joking with all his tables. Christina the FOH manager came out to check on the food and service, which was great to see. They definitely have the service dialed in, and the food was amazing! We will be back! Thanks for a great anniversary dinner

As locals we are always looking for somewhere special to dine. Decided to celebrate our anniversary at Boat Club and boy were we impressed with the stuffed salmon and five spice short rib dinners! Scrumptious food and a complimentary anniversary dessert platter were spot on. Atmosphere, staff and service was also outstanding. We will be back!

Great restaurant. We ate there 5/26/2025. The seafood is top notch, cooked to perfection. The apple- cashew salad delicious. Must get the popovers!!! Service was impressive, and the food came out quickly. The prices were reasonable for what we got.

My husband and I came here to celebrate our wedding anniversary. He had the corned beef hash, and I have the walleye sandwich with clam chowder. The clam chowder was amazing and much flavor and each ingredient was done to perfection painful breading on the walleye sandwich was perfect! We have a perfect view of Lake superior and the ambiance was spectacular!

Excellent food, superior service and lake side views. We chose outdoor seating but next time we will definitely opt for indoor dining. The tables outside are small patio style with very uncomfortable hard chairs. The music was too loud and made it hard for conversation. However, the food was outstanding. We all had appetizers and main entrees. The clam chowder beats San Francisco's best and the Calamari was on par with Vancouver's finest. All of the seafood was excellent, but the Steel Head Trout with garlic risotto was sublime, a 7 star plate of food! Service was exceptional. I would highly recommend this fantastic restaurant to everyone that loves upscale and creative food and excellent service. The views of gorgeous Lake Superior make this restaurant hard to beat.

Good early dinner! My wife had Salmon and it was great. My steak was almost perfect, a little over but still tasted good. Also tried Oysters which I do not have all that often and was impressed! My wife said the garlic infused Vodka bloody Mary was great. Nice view, and good, friendly staff.

We had a reservation today for 8 people for a family gathering! Kristina waited on our table, and she was outstanding! She waited on us immediately after we were seated, and was very attentive throughout our visit, even while waiting on other tables! The service was exceptional, the food was excellent, and the value was excellent!! Thank you, Boat Club, for an overall amazing experience!!
