We spend our anniversary each year in the area and when a friend recommended the Boathouse restaurant, we were eager to try it and were very pleased. We shared the scallops appetizer which was delicious. We both had the Kobe steaks, Queen size. My husband had the Oscar version with a crab topping. We agreed that they were the best... More

I just moved back to Traverse City and decided to take a drive on the pennisula. I was hungry so I decided to eat at the Boathouse. The view of the bay is breathtaking especially at sunset.
