I recently visited Boathouse on the Bay at 10716 N Bay Shore Dr, in Sister Bay, WI. It's nicely located in Sister Bay and within walking distance of the marina. I sat at the bar and greeted soon. My drink order was taken and the server and myself discussed lunch choices..I ordered the shrimp basket that came with seven large shrimp cooked nicely. A nice view as well. A good place to eat.
Good location, but the food...... we ordered the lobster roll, the calamari, the mac and cheese, etc . Not very flavored. My kids like the cheese curds, and the fries.
Walked in. Hostess was at the bar talking, which was fine. No greeting though. She grabbed two menus and we assumed we were suppose to follow her. She turned and somewhat looked annoyed and just said, I’ll be right with you. We then walked walked to the hostess station. She then returned, and just said “two”. Answer was yes. Didn’t ask if we wanted to sit inside or out. Basically just started walking and set menus in a table and walked away. The entire interaction was cold and impersonal. It was like we weren’t welcome in the place. Waiter was nice. Food was good. The restaurant was not busy for a 8pm on a Monday night. Assumed they’d be happy for the customers.
When a restaurants highlights a lobster roll on their menu, it better taste like it did at the Boathouse. The sandwich was delicious and it was only made better by the sweet potato fries and the view of the water from the table. 10/10
FANTASTIC! Fantastic views, fantastic food, fantastic staff, fantastic everything. The lobster mac and cheese is incredible. So many big pieces of lobster, too. The poboy is also delicious. The cherry mule is a classic for the area and glad I got that. Highly suggest when in the area. Prices are pretty good! Free parking in the back.
This is our go to place during each visit to the Sister Bay in Door County Wisconsin. We've been eating here since they opened the doors. Great food .... however they could certainly improve the Ambience and definitely friendly serving staff. I highly recommend this place for good quality and fresh seafood.
The Owner is a reasonable person, wish if he hires a great and friendly staff as well.

Terrific lobster 🦞 roll. Many places seem to skimp on the meat, which certainly is not the case at Boathouse. Perfectly toasted bread and a heaping of portion makes this a winner! Also really enjoyed the cheese curds and Bloody Mary. Views of the bay from upstairs give the restaurant an awesome vibe.
Bar area could have been cleaner and service a little quicker, but all in all I recommend stopping in.

Great atmosphere in front of the bay/marina, plenty of street parking and lots of seafood options. The drink menu is varied and has beers, wines, cocktails, etc.
Our server Christian was so attentive to details and made our experience pleasant!
If you like fruity beers, the mango cart is phenomenal!
Totally recommend!
