I had a wonderful evening here. My starter soup was tasty, the steak I ordered fantastic, the creme brulee I had for dessert delicious, and the two craft beers that my server recommended were excellent. Making things even better, a group of deer were walking nearby as I headed towards the restaurant. Overall, it was a truly lovely experience

If I could give Boathouse a 10 star review, I would. My co-workers and I were in Kenora on business and it was recommended that we go to the newly owned Boathouse - Lakeside Grill. From the moment we walked in the door the service was exceptional. I had a made a reservation and the hostess greeted me by name when I walked in. Brought me over to the table and informed me that Logan would be our server that night. A couple minute later Logan came over and again greeted me by saying my name, these are small things but in the service industry are actually HUGE!! I ordered the Mermaid Water and it was absolutely fantastic it tasted as good as it looked. My colleagues arrived and they order their drinks and then we ordered the calamari as a starter. Calamari can be hit or miss, too heavily breaded and honestly can be quite chewy. This was seasoned perfectly, not at all chewy and they had it lightly breaded. It was an amazing start to our meal. Our main meals came with a choice of salad or Lobster bisque. Logan recommended the bisque and so I went with that. It was INCREDIBLE and it was just the right amount to not fill you up before the main meal arrived. My colleague and I ordered the Captains Catch, it was fresh Halibut, on coconut jasmine rice with a green curry. I have never had fish so fresh and cooked perfectly. The rice and curry were lightly flavored so no to take away from the delicate fish. My coworker order the sliders and they were also fantastic. Logan was attentive and so very personable during our entire meal. You can tell that the management team and owners take great pride in who they employee as to make sure that their guests have a wonderful dining experience. If you are in Kenora on business, or pleasure I very highly recommend experiencing this gem.
