Boathouse Restaurant

The food was fine, over priced. Hailey provided excellent service.

Bad food, dirty kitchen , painfully slow service, and if that’s not enough - no returns on mediocre food at its best..

Utterly mediocre food. Service is terrible. And extremely expensive.

Just went for coffee on the patio. Very nice coffee and excellent service. Didn't try the food mainly because the reviews are all so bad.

The food is a joke. The view is literally the only redeeming quality. Unbelievably slow service. Oh and did I mention the food...I don't believe the kitchen understands what an omelette is - overcooked egg with 100% raw mushrooms, peppers, ham etc. As if they'd forgotten it was an omelette was until the last moment. Upon requesting they give it another try, this time cooking the inside, take 2 was just as raw.

The salad dressings are great. Food a fresh and tasty. The dessert was disappointed it was okay and too pricey for it quality

The service was great and attentive, though we were the only ones in the restaurant. Lunch was delicious and we could have had two desserts, they were that good. However, overall it was overpriced and limited with vegetarian options. The cost of the breakfast buffet also deterred us from going back a second time.

Great staff

Good menu, good flavouring on everything except for the pork wings, but poor execution. Chicken was dry, medium well steak was over cooked on the outside making it tough, Arctic char was good, calamari ok, pork wings had hints of freezer taste, and iced wine tiramisu was blanketed in too much cocoa. Great atmosphere and view over Lake Muskoka. Overpriced considering the poor execution.

Service was painfully slow. We waited 10 minutes before anyone even came to our table. I wanted to walk out. Nothing was organized. We had no napkins, cutlery or glasses. Only 2 other tables were in use so no excuse. Errors on bill and overpriced for the experience. Would not return.

Staying at Taboo, the resort where Boathouse Grill is located. Great resort, shite restaurant. What a joke that they charge what they do for the food. Squid was way undercooked. Medium rare steaks were grey. Service was atrocious; waitress was 19 years old and had clearly never even tried the food. She was perfectly incompetent with any questions and her service capacity was negligible. Took FOREVER for the food to come out. Never took the menus away. Never cleared the plates of eaten dishes. Didn't bring appropriate cutlery. Didn't ask us if we wanted more drinks when our glasses were empty. Didn't ask for our dessert interests. When eating $30 entrés, this amateur level of service is totally unacceptable, even when a captive audience at a resort staffed by teenagers. What an embarrassment. Great view though and the rest of the resort is quite nice.

Its ok

Disregard any poor reviews - the Chef has changed and reinvented this place. All fresh, local and seasonal ingredients. Almost everything made in house including fresh pastas. This is the best spot on Lake Muskoka and by far in the Gravenhurst area.

Staff are friendly + attentive. I would place the food + menu @ a 1 Limited choices!

The food and service at The Boathouse has really improved with the new menu and staff. Quality of food is much better, service has improved, and the menu has a better variety than it's had before. Would give it a try!

Food was presented nicely and had great flavour. View and atmosphere were amazing. Staff was very nice and helpful- especially Cassandra.

Pasta was so dry and bland. Margarita was pretty much all booze. We had to move from the patio to indoors because they had cups with juice in it to attract the wasps and I have a bad phobia and they were buzzing all around me. We paid 100 for two people and the food was terrible

Maybe we went there early at 6:15pm and the restaurant was only half full, the service wasn't slow as other reviewers said. We finished our dinner with soup and main course in 45 minutes. The soup was average but the trout and short rib that we had were good. Waitresses are friendly too. View of the restaurant is great looking at the lake. Unfortunately it was cloudy on the horizon otherwise it would be a perfect view of sunset.

Stayed at Taboo resort and this is the only restaurant available. Service is super slow and the wait staff simply ignores you. You would think they would welcome new tables for additional tips? We ordered the flatbread, it was a mess. Looked so gross I didn't even try it. Nothing like you think a flatbread would look like. The burgers and Nachos looked good. Views are beautiful and the beer is cold. They could do a lot with this place. Not recommended until some major changes are done. FYI - I'm writing this review while waiting for my bill.
