While the restaurant is beautiful and the menu extensive, did it ever miss the mark this time. Pomegranate and espresso martinis were so weak but tasty. Started with sushi and the CRISPY roll was anything but. You can't just cover the rolls in untoasted panko crumbs and think.it is crispy. The rolls were literally just larger than a nickel. I give the chef credit for making them that small, but they were not tight, fell apart, had bunched up skins and the panko absorbed too much soy sauce. I also ordered the crispy chicken sandwich. DO NOT give me a massive roll and literally a single paper thin chicken strip. It didn't cover more then half of the roll so basically I had half of a sandwich. French fries, although so tasty, were not cooked completely and I struggled to find small enough ones that might have any crisp to them. Do better and clearly the kitchen manager, expediters and chefs should be striving to not let inferior plates out of the kitchen. If management is cutting back and portions, adjust all the components. read more

Worst service. We had to find a person to order and then go get our order. The food was cold and nothing special. We honestly gave this restaurant two chances but were very disappointed both times. read more

Great place on the water. Food was great. Have lobster empanadas, delicious but not a lot of lobster.. great grilled salmon , they make a good Caesar salad. read more

Service is slow. Food is not quality for what they charge. Bartenders too busy talking to eachother

the service was great. The Ambiance was excellent. what a view. However I was disappointed in the food which I thought was reasonably priced. It was way too spicey. We took most of it home so we can add sour cream to it. Too bad. There is also a patio area I think you can enjoy the same view with maybe more basic food. I might try that. You really can't beat the location. read more

Made a reservation for my mother on mother day plenty time in advance... restaurant still sat us 20 minutes after reservation time. Sat down to have dinner and waited 2 hours for our meals. Ended up leaving before the meals even came. Needless to say a disappointed in a half...save your money and just got to the anchor! read more

Only been for brunch, which was only "fine". The views from the restaurant are great, and the biggest draw. The bloody was pretty decent, but the specialty riff on a mimosa is its blood orange stole the show. The food lacked pizzaz, overall. It was okay and all, but nothing inspired I.E. run of the mill. Service was a bit slow too, even though it seemed like there were a ton of people on shift. read more

I went to Mission Boathouse today and ordered from their $20 brunch menu. Great selections (about 15 different items) I hate to say but EVERYTHING came out cold to warm at best. EVERYTHING was obviously prepared beforehand. The waffles, French Toast, and English muffins were all too tough to cut. The poached eggs were cold. The Grilled Salmon had good flavor but room temperature. There were only 6 table from 11-1 so why they felt the need to over prepare is beyond me. We ordered from the waitress at the table. She put the order in the computer and the food came IMMEDIATELY to the table from a "Runner". The menu looks great! If they cook to order, I believe that they could fix their problem. Service was great! read more

Delicious food in a lovely atmosphere. Inside build is modern and comfortable, with nice lighting and a great layout. Big views of the harbor. Waitstaff is attentive and friendly, I'dd recommend Mission Boathouse for large gatherings, events, and dinner out with a friend. U-shaped bar and great seating. read more

Mission Boathouse - Bottomless brunch - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Beverly, Massachusetts

I really wanted this place to be as amazing as it should be... after all the chatter about the location (stealing public marina space!) and skimpy parking spots, I wanted it to be outstanding enough to make it worthwhile. Oh, no. It's SO loud that the din is obnoxious and constant, and rather than creating a convivial atmosphere, the music competing with the noise (*pop* music?!) made just another distraction to yell over. We went twice, hoping that the unimpressive food the first visit was a one time thing. Caesar salad with anchovies and grilled shrimp, the salad was passable but the dressing didn't seem right and the inappropriate anchovies were more of the pickled variety plopped on top in the center. Four medium sized shrimp were cool and flavorless, a bit tough. Second trip was the taco salad with added grilled shrimp (maybe the first shrimp were a fluke?) and there were five. So, commit to your skimpy small shrimp quantity at least or it's just inconsistent. But the salad itself, dear lord. The crispy tortilla bowl was ok, the fried avocado was fine, the rest of the bowl was filled with some vegetal heap of soggy lettuce bits mixed with corn, black olives, tomato chunks, and soaked (thoroughly!) in what seemed like a ketchupy sweet dressing... was it thousand island dressing? Disgusting. The only redeemable feature of this place is the staff, they're darn good. I would point out that if a guest leaves the majority of their food and doesn't want a box to take it home, it's fair to ask if they liked it... it keeps them from having to write a Yelp review. read more

I Came here for a drink and a chowder. Couldn't find a place to park for more than a few minutes so I just ran in to use the bathroom. Got a rash. Wouldn't return read more

I had high hopes for this place but right now it falls short. First, we were greeted by a semi grumpy teen boy who talked so low I couldn't hear him. The location is very nice. Service was good but could have been better. The food is mixed. My wife ate her chowder with a fork it was so thick. The flavor was good but wow...it was like gravy (it sticks to the spoon and doesn't pour). The main courses were good. The bill however was not; it was very pricey. I know they just opened so I hope the bugs get worked out. I won't be going back for at least six months for food. For now, I would say a great location for apps and drinks. read more

Really liked the ambiance, great waterfront views. Food was pretty good for the most part. We got a few appetizers and shared an entree. The sushi roll we ordered was delicious, oysters were fresh and the shrimp ceviche was better than expected, savory with a limey punch. The entree was ok, blackened salmon skewered, it was warm and savory but lacked deep flavor. Service and drinks were excellent. I will be back, great place for a date night. read more

Mission has fantastic food, amazing views. Always great music and vibes! My favorite spot to grab a cocktail on the water.

Nice ambiance. Attentive, friendly service. Food comes out quick. Mussels were horrible, must have been sitting in a pot for hours, the size of peas. Swordfish lukewarm and dry, straight from Shaws frozen section to the frying pan? Overpriced. Don't go there for the food. 3% Supply Chain Surcharge, ridiculous! read more

I give this two stars cuz the staff was nice..! Now the Rant...Hidden Supply Chain Fees (are you building boats) and no prices on the draft beer menu..? Who does this, is this a trend setting theme in Yankee Vill.. Go to the Anchor across the street, no hidden fees on beer its priced and a better value.. Kill the hidden fees we are not tourist.. read more

The building is beautiful and I'm sure it will be a great place to sit on a hot summer night with the windows open with some friends. We ordered and were served pretty quickly, there was only one other party in the dining room probably because it was pouring rain outside on a Tuesday night. My order came and as the plate hit the table I picked up a french fry dipped in ketchup and popped it in my mouth. It was warm at best. That was a bad start because I think a french fry right from the kitchen should be almost too hot to eat. My dining partner ordered swordfish and it had the appearance of the freeze shrink-wrapped fish that you would get at a grocery store. That stuff can be good, and this tasted like that. It was OK, but living on the shore for the last 20 years I've had plenty of good seafood. Fresh seafood. It didn't say this was fresh so I can't fault them for that. The mashed potatoes that came with the swordfish was something I could've made it home, put in the refrigerator and reheated and had the next day. The consistency was a little pasty and the taste was mild. For the price that they're charging for the food it was not good. If I was at a pub 99 type of place. Then I would say this is what you get and be satisfied. The dining room and building itself look very fancy but we spent our meal listening to pop music piped in from the bar area, and watching the cooks who could've been three dudes off the street wearing different hats and casual clothes. Again the building makes it look like a fancy restaurant, the prices certainly make you feel like you are going to have a dining experience, but the rest of it seem like a façade. Like going to Disneyland and eating at those fancy looking restaurants that are just getting people in and out to eat. Don't get me wrong, we weren't rushed. Our server was friendly enough. We thought to ourselves afterwards that we would probably go back for chowder and salad on a hot summer night, something like that. But I feel as though I could get the steak tips and fries at one of the smaller local places for a much better price. And piping hot. read more

Beautiful restaurant! We sat by the windows. Our server was great, the drinks were really good. We shared the burrata appetizer and tuna appetizer. We liked the burrata more than the tuna. My husband and friend's husband LOVED the pork chop. My friend had the swordfish she was happy with. I decided to go with the chicken marsala. I wasn't a fan at all. The dish was very bland. For dessert, we shared two smores. We all liked it, but not what we were expecting. read more

We cannot recommend enough!!! From the ambience, decor & menu, Mission Boathouse is such an asset to the Beverly, MA restaurant scene :-) What made our night was our outstanding server Mary McDonald. Her charisma, her knowledge, and her sophistication cannot be beat. Her recommendations were on point, including the shrimp scampi and the s'more dessert, and she made us feel comfortable and taken care of the entire night. My highest recommendation!! read more

This restaurant has great ambiance and friendly staff. The drinks are tasty. Living on the north shore, I want this place to make it because we have needed a restaurant like this. Some dishes have been pretty full and tasty. However they still have some work to do. I ordered the fish tacos- a common dish that someone in our group orders wherever we go. Tasty but holy moly one bite of fish per taco? C'mon. Either combine them and call it a fish taco or fill the taco. Lots of taco wrap left on the plate. If they step it up a notch this place will be a regular for us. read more

I would always go to the Mission Boathouse in Beverly because they had the best Beyond meat tacos! They recently took them off the menu and replaced them with another taco with chickpeas. It wasn't that great. With that said, I will not be going back unless they put the Beyond taco back on the menu. read more

My family and I recently had a delicious dinner at Mission Boathouse. We were celebrating my grandson's 2 nd birthday so we were dining early. Our waitress was friendly and efficient. The Caesar salad with steak tips was large and tasty, the hot dog appetizer was amazing and the mussels were some of the best we've ever had. Can't wait to go back! read more

Oh boy... believe me i really want to support this local business but there are no excuses for misleading customers with deals to fet them in the door at one price and then charging them more... so poorly run and an eye sore on Beverly's waterfront that will remain when MB sells or worse yet goes under... read more

Overall, Mission Boathouse is a poor showing of a management that looks as fanciful as their ambiance and instead is looking to spend their time and money into a restaurant product that vaguely resembles their sticky floors, low-substance management, and amalgamation of mysteriously-textured, bland food. And us the patrons have to wait a looooong time expecting something better to match price and ambiance, stirring our expensive time, money, and drinks until we're all frustrated and tired over it. --- It's a standard ambiance of an American dining restaurant on the water, met with incredibly shallow amounts of substance from the middling food quality, disservice, and questionable cleanliness. Comparable to a scenario in which a privately well-funded middle school runs a cafeteria with food quality and floor stickiness matching that of a hectic lunch rush & is staffed with their poorly-paid students to be disinterested cook- and wait- staff Service/Dining wait time: 0.5/5 We came in on for Sunday brunch with a reservation. We were seated there soon after, with a window seat looking out at the Beverly Harbor. Neat. The overall dining time was an hour and 45 minutes. In average terms of dining, that wouldn't be absolutely terrible if it weren't for the fact that the majority of the food didn't come until an hour in after we were seated. Looking at the cook and wait staff, we could only assume the food sitting at the pass was just for show as it sat there over the course of time. As the staff either paced back and forth or slowly shuffled through empty plates and silverware, we wondered if we were ever going to get the complimentary bread; that of which we had to ask our waitress for (45 minutes into sitting around and fiddling with our drinks), who sounded as if we had already received the bread and were only looking to get more out of them. If it wasn't for the oddly rushed pacing of the food coming out thereafter and the wait staff tossing the food on to our tables without even saying a word of what amalgamated blob they were serving, I would've thought this restaurant was actually run by uncoordinated, disinterested middle school students. Food Quality: 1/5 The food matches actual cafeteria food topped with a poached egg. If I asked you to differentiate between any number of their brunch dishes that had tasteless meats and vegetables topped with a poached egg sitting on some poorly crafted "tortilla" or English muffin, and then name what each dish actually was compared to their menu definitions, you'd probably do as good as anyone who had actuald blindfold on. They all taste the same: bland, watery, nonsense. It doesn't service the restaurant well, when the rest of the items were equally just as bad: chicken wings terribly overcooked, French toast actually just wet blobs, and some of the meat on the "tacos" burnt. The quantity (small portions, but unlimited) would've been fine if the wait time again wasn't considered but it is: food never came out till an hour into waiting at the table and, when it did, it came in oddly-paced, frustratingly slow intervals. Cleanliness: 0.5/5 Floor is sticky. I don't know why and I don't want to know why. I just don't want it to be sticky. The rest of the tables were left unkempt after the patrons had long left. This is strange since, at times, wait staff would occasionally come back at empty tables with no patrons to shuffle around excess silverware and plates. When we were first seated, we looked at our silverware to see residual watermarks left from wait staff not properly wiping down silverware before setting up tables. A pretty disappointing outlook, when you're considering that, on paper, the restaurant looks decent visually. Additional: I have no interest in discussing how restaurants pay their staff. If restaurants truly want to pay staff, restaurants should pay them better. Patrons shouldn't have to pay them directly if restaurants paid their staff well enough. That 3% additional tagline going towards staff that comes out of patrons dining at Mission Boathouse is a disgusting excuse for the restaurant or any other restaurant that does this for that matter to keep their own profits margins more net positive. read more

The bartender was incredibly kind, this review is not in regards to the staff, however, the only thing we ordered for food were the oysters and they were unbearable. They were not properly shucked, we had to dig them off of each shell. There were also huge pieces of shell in some of them as well. They also had a very bad after taste, which is never good from oysters. I ended up getting violently ill after we left, and those were the only thing that made sense. Luckily, we did inform the bartender at the time and she ended up comping or bar tan, which was incredibly appreciated. However, we will not be returning after that experience with the food. read more

my family and I went to Mission Boathouse for Easter Sunday Luncheon. I had requested a window table when I called ahead for our reservation realizing that on such a busy day that might not be possible. We were shown to our table overlooking the water.We were pleased at such a true accommodation. My granddaughter is a vegetarian. Even after looking over the menu when I made the reservation I was concerned that there wouldn't be a wide choice available to her. She found several items to choose from and was thrilled with her meal. We were all extremely happy with our choices. The waitstaff was efficient, yet friendly. It was a lovely place to celebrate a holiday. But now that Ive been, I'll return often. I'm looking forward to enjoying the warmer weather on the patio . read more

I have been here a couple of times, and each time has been incredible. The drinks are the perfect ratio of tasty and string, but not overly strong.
