From the reviews

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.

★★★★★ — Barbara, Apr 2025

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.

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!

★★★★★ — Julie, May 2024

We enjoyed a very good meal and we love the location along the water. The space itself could use a bit of a refresh, and the bar was kinda of noisy in the background. But the standout here was the service. Thomas and the team were incredible. World class service.

Getting married at Boat Club Restaurant

Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
