What a fantastic restaurant for lunch. Service was quick and super friendly. Food was absolutely delicious while sitting outside on their patio enjoying the views. Must try their sangria...sooo good. Nice bonus of free ice cream for the kids when ordering off the kids menu. Enjoy.

This restaurant is a gem! The outdoor patio is full of good vibes—with beautiful views of the harbor, plenty of seating, and lots of umbrellas to keep things cool and shaded. The live music added the perfect touch to that laid-back summer atmosphere. The food was just as impressive. We had the braised brisket sandwich with fries and the chicken avocado sandwich with sweet potato fries—both were delicious and satisfying. Highly recommend if you're looking for great food, a scenic patio, and a fun, summery vibe!

10/10!!! My husband and I have recently moved to the area and decided to try The Boathouse for dinner, and I am so glad we did. This place has it all, it is beautifully situated on Midland's waterfront so the views / atmosphere were amazing. It was a little too cold to sit outside, but I can't wait to come back to sit on the patio in the warmer weather. We both LOVED our meals, and both agreed it was the best restaurant we have been to in years. I ordered the Seafood Duo (as per the waitress' recommendation) and it did not disappoint, it was so flavourful - reminded me of a dish I had in Costa Rica. The portion size was incredible and they didn't skimp out on the shrimp either. My husband ordered the Stuffed Hawaiian Pineapple and it was another hit. It was served inside a grilled pineapple, flavour was amazing and again the portion was huge. This was a vegetarian meal so if I were to order it I would probably order a side of shrimp or chicken. We were really really happy with everything. The staff was wonderful as well, can't say enough. We have already booked a reservation to come back for my husband's birthday with the family. Can't wait to return!

The Boathouse is always the number one place I go to when I’m in the area with friends and it never disappoints! We sat on the patio around sunset which offers the best views. The food is amazing every time, especially the dessert they brought out at the end for my friends birthday. Overall a 10/10 experience, and our server Tess was super kind and attentive too!

Absolutely incredible experience at The Boathouse Eatery in Georgian Bay. The food was amazing! The esquites were delicious, the brisket was melt-in-your-mouth perfection, and the peach salad was fresh, flavourful, and perfectly balanced. They also carry local beer, and the chocolate mousse and the creme brulee are 10/10! The service truly made our visit special! Azael and David were both outstanding, warm, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcome and pampered from start to finish. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for top-tier food, a great atmosphere, and unforgettable service. We'll definitely be back.

Great service and delicious seafood. Me and my partner got the Seafood Duo & the Fish n Chips and as appetizers we got the Deep Fried Calamari. Really nicely battered and the Seafood Duo was so creamy and delish. It was our first time here and if we ever swing by Midland again we will definitely come back here again! Best spot to visit for visitors of the town - especially during the summer.

Boathouse Eatery is a total gem on the Midland waterfront. The brisket? Juicy, tender, they clearly know what they’re doing with slow-cooked meats. The equites done exactly right! The peach salad was a standout, light, fresh, and beautifully balanced. It’s not every day you describe a salad as exquisite, but here we are. The cherry on top: lactose-free ice cream in the patio! Huge shoutout to manager David, who goes above and beyond. 10/10 all around!
