Crispy Spicy Salmon Maki
Thomas T.

The restaurant is in a beautiful location overlooking the water. The interior has very nice small decorative details with an aquatic theme. The parking lot is small and there's another parking lot under the bridge. The staff are great and accommodating. The crispy salmon Maki has a satisfying crunch with a flavorful spicy mayo. The fried fish sandwich came with a huge piece of fish with a healthy amount of toppings. The fries itself are amazing with great seasoning and cooked very well. Overall a great experience.

Beef Tacos

My sister lives a 2 min walk from Mission Boathouse. She and her husband love their brunch and said I have to give it a try. The waterfront restaurant is located at the Beverly Pier. Very cute and bright upon entry. We walked over but there is a small lot in the front that could fit about 20ish cars. We took the elevator up to the host stand. Upon arrival we were greeted and seated promptly. We opted for the high top seats. The server came over greeted us and gave us time to look at the menu. We decided to do the bottomless brunch which is $19.99 per person (price as of 2025). We also got a bottle of champagne for $25 with small carafes of pineapple , cranberry and orange juice. The server said the champagne comes with one juice and there is an additional charge for the the other juices. My sister explained that she had never been charged for the additional juices. I think the server was trying to explain that moving forward they charge but given my sisters obvious disappointment she didn't charge us extra. For the bottomless brunch you can order up to 3 items at a time and they are delivered to the table à la carte . They also brought out home fries and foccacia for the table to share. I had the cheesy scrambled eggs, bread pudding, beef taco, fish taco ,peri peri wings, meatball parm and jalepeno cornbread. They bring out the food so fast. The portions are on the small side to help prevent waste but I enjoyed that. Three rounds and the mimosas and I was stuffed. The fish tacos were the best. I had two of them. The beef taco was tasty as well,just a tad bit too juicy for my liking. The eggs were not good at all. Even with adding salt and pepper. Whenever I get something with cheese if the cheese isn't melted I don't want it. The mozzarella cheese. sprinkled on top made me feel like the eggs werent hot. I don't even like jalenpenos but that cornbread was so flavorful and not spicy like I initially anticipated. Heavy on the jalepneo flavor but tasty nonetheless. I didn't realize peri peri sauce had a kick to it. But it was flavorful and the wings were crispy and cooked to my liking. Because two of us orders the meatball they put both in a bowl. I didn't care for the amount of sauce in the bowl and found the meatball to be flavorless. The bread pudding was decent. Overall a solid experience. The price is right, customer service good and the ambiance is very welcoming and comfy. I would definitely return.

Stopped here on a whim on our drive up to Bar Harbor. Atmosphere was great, for a 3pm lunch anyway. We got the Tuna Tartare, a spicy crunchy salmon maki roll, and a Boston maki roll. The tuna tartare is a must! I loved the spicy roll, I'm personally not a fan of cream cheese in a sushi roll but my husband loved the Boston roll. Our server was friendly and helpful, and everything came out quickly with lovely presentation.

BLACKENED SALMON

i've dined at mission boathouse enough times now to have more experiences to share. it has comfortable seating, whether in the main deck bar, dining, or the top floor, which all have different menus. my favorite orders are the oysters, short rib empanadas, shrimp pizza, mushroom pizza & rib-eye. the last time i visited, we started with a bottle of saratoga but then our second bottle was clear. when asked, our server said the second bottle is always refilled "filtered" tap water, while i scanned the room and every other table had a blue saratoga bottle. i definitely felt offended that they didn't automatically provide or ask what type of water we wanted, when i indicated still in the beginning. seriously rude. i forgot the servers name but she claimed they always do that, when i had never experienced that before nor did i see anyone else with a clear bottle. the food is good, at times excellent, but this service faux pas really bothered me and i haven't been back. service has been great every other time. ambiance: 5/5 food: 4.5/5 drinks: 4/5 service: 2/5 mission boathouse: 3/5 (based on last visit)

Monday $1 Oysters

My best friend and I had a wonderful time here. The bartender's service was wonderful, and we are upset we didn't catch a name. Working in the industry - we love to become regulars of other servers + bartenders! We got 20 oysters to split and they were massive and delicious. The view, although a gloomy day outside, was so beautiful. It's a great location and our bar seats looked out onto the water :)

Busy Saturday Night

This place is busy. Here for dinner as we visit the North Shore. Bayfront dining with Martinis & seafood! We had an excellent dinner with superb service, good seating, excellent appetizers, and fine main dishes. Beverly, be proud of this establishment!

To be fair I only went for a drink and appetizer. I will return to explore their dinner options. That said, went there mid day, sat outside loved the view of the ocean and boats very family oriented. Our waiter (Jack) was super attentive, welcoming and professional. Their oysters were fresh and delicious. The Margaritas and Mojito was a bit of a let down as it tasted more like sugary syrup and little to almost no alcohol for the price. Their rum punch was delicious. I'm not sure if it's because we were seated outside, but we weren't a fan of the acrylic cups . I will stop by again to have a meal and another review.

Baked haddock

We were looking for a place for lunch when my wife suggested Mission Boathouse which I had heard of but never tried. We came mid-afternoon Memorial Day (Monday). Seated promptly and enjoyed a wine and Amalfi Spritz while we waited. The room is beautiful and boats at moorings in Beverly Harbor on a bright warm day added to our enjoyment. The food was excellent too : fish tacos and baked haddock. Our waitress Fadima K was awesome too. We're glad we (she) found this gem and promise to come back.

Came here on a Friday night and was able to get a table overlooking the harbor. Theres a platform that's right on the harbor that they open in the summer so that you're sitting right by the water and the boats while dining. We got some wine, 2 orders of sushi and rib eye tacos that came with a side of yuca chips. The rosé was alright. The food was really good, especially the rib eye tacos and the yuca chips. Our waitress was friendly and sweet. Overall it was a good meal at a good price and I'm definitely interested in seeing what it's like in the summer.

Just sat at the bar. Main Deck!

So. I'm back with my wife. This is my second visit since week one of opening. Somewhat unfair for a real review. I said I'd be back. Was out on my boat with my wife on a spectacular day. Pulled back into the Beverly Port Marina where my boat is docked. It was late... an hour before sunset and we were both hungry. So. The Anchor Pub and Grill across the street. 2 hour wait to be seated or my wife suggested the alternative. Let's see. First off. The top floor open windows are spectacular!!! It was not open on my first visit. It's called "The Upper Deck" as they advertise "light fare, great drinks and a killer view of Beverly harbor" We were able to grab a sofa and two chairs although they tend to save that for larger groups. Nailed it. All the recent pics today are from sitting there. Immediately greeted by our fabulous waitress, Christy (management pay attention to her skills with patrons... bravo!) They immediately served triple filtered still water... No charge!! Asked if we wanted an adult beverage, while we perused the menu. So, the Upper Deck" is a limited menu with extensive Sushi, Tapas like apps and a few heavier entrees. We were good with the lighter fare and fabulous view. The windows were constructed like garage doors. With glass rails. I've never seen anything like that. Drinks were well made and a generous pour. Much different than my first visit where the shot glass was used. I think they got the clue. My wife ordered a Caesar salad with steak tips. I ordered the coconut shrimp and a Phoenix sushi roll. All served at the same time. Mine looked great! My wife likes her steak "medium well" (don't ask me to explain lol) It arrived "Rare" ! Really rare. Christy came over to check and my wife mentioned it. Christy whisked it away, apologized and said "we'll fix this, and, take it off the tab!!!!! She offered that no one should have to wait to get their dinner correct!! Hers came back. I had just started to dive into the Sushi. Which was a solid 9.0. My coconut shrimp was a bit too long into the fryalator but was very tasty. All in all. They deserve my rarely given 5 stars tonight. The combination of service, ambiance and food is a winner. Suggestion that our server Christy agreed with... serve your Martinis in a bar cup with strainer at the table so as not to spill the drink and put a little more flair into the table side pour. We'll be regulars... Go check it out!!! Bon Appetite!!!

I went to the all you can eat brunch with a friend and had an enjoyable experience. When we arrived there were not a lot of people there but it steadily filled up as noon approached. The service was consistent and the next round of food came out shortly after we finished what we were having. The fish and short rib tacos were my favorite.

Gina D.

Not much to say. Great atmosphere on the water. Really cool nautical bar and scene. But I have been here three times, and the appetizers are nice but the main entrees don't do much for me. If you look at my dish, I should be jumping for joy. It looks delicious. I am debating whether to go back but I think my husband would be annoyed with me. I will try it again when summer comes and see what happens. I wo update this review then.

As another reviewer mentioned, the furniture feels like its going to give out under you, the place is drab, despite the gorgeous building itself. The salad bar is basic. Their signature steak was 1/3 inedible hard gristle. I ordered "peppercorn" sauce as an extra with my 8oz steak and the server called the brown goop that came out "peppercorn gravy" - I traded with my cousin because hers came with bearnaise sauce. The rice pilaf was SO GROSS. There were all the exact same size and color cube pieces of red and green bell pepper - very much like an Atkins frozen dinner I had where it was clearly stamped out in a factory. There was a funky like olive? flavor to it? I had to eat and drink other stuff to get the taste out of my mouth. They don't bother bringing bread to the table, you have to get it (and if nobody else has touched it, you have to slice it yourself) at the salad bar. This was supposed to be a nice dinner for my mom's birthday and I left apologizing to her and promising a do-over somewhere else.

She and much of my family really like this place and rave about it, but my overall first impression was definitely a mixed bag. My mom made the reservation for Saturday at 4:45pm in the dining room. We arrived a little early, so she showed me around the beautifully renovated building. When we checked in with someone, they redirected us to the bar area downstairs as they were holding a private event in the main dining area. Okay, not a big deal to us. However I could understand if someone else might get a little annoyed at being told they had to go to the bar area when they specifically asked for the dining room on their reservation. I have to say that I do love the downstairs bar area, it's classy and has a vintage speakeasy vibe. We were quickly greeted by one of the guys working the bar who was super nice and did a great job. For a drink I started with their version of an espresso martini, which was a good start to the food experience and gave me high hopes. They brought us out some popovers which to me were just okay. For an appetizer we got some buffalo chicken dip, which was quite delicious. For dinner my mom got a Caesar salad (which I tried a little bit of and thought was good) and a flatbread pizza that was on special. I decided to be a little bougie and went with the braised short ribs, and I regret to say that the dish fell flat for me. The short rib did come apart okay when I stuck my fork in it, but it was kind of chewy, bland and overall really didn't have much flavor. The menu also states that the short rib is served with broccolini (which is a milder, sweeter version of the green vegetable) but it came with regular plain broccoli instead, which I was also quite honestly disappointed by. With all that being said the polenta was my favorite thing on the plate. I'm a little conflicted. The place is beautiful and the staff is so nice. But with how much it was hyped up to me, I was a little let down. I'm kind of thinking that I should've went with another dish? I really want to truly love this place, so I'm sure I'll be back with family at some point to give them another chance.
