BOATHOUSE COLLECTIVE, LLC Information

Boathouse Collective, a former private event space operated under the same name, will reopen as a multimedia venue showcasing flavorful foods, creative cocktails, art shows, music performances and special events in westside Costa Mesa. Boathouse Collective will serve lunch and happy hour as well as dinner service and Sunday brunch.

The design maintains the building's historical and rustic character while creating an artistic and creative aesthetic that fits the industrial westside Costa Mesa neighborhood. Boathouse Collective will serve a mostly family-style menu created by Executive Chef Mathieu Royer, who earned his culinary credentials at Pizzeria Ortica, Hinoki and the Bird in Century City, and Morimoto in Napa Valley. Designed to be as unpretentious and approachable as the space in which it is served, Chef Royer's menu emphasizes locally-sourced, organic and seasonal ingredients combined with inspiration from his global travels and training under master sushi chef Gen Mizoguchi. Sample dishes sure to please vegetarians and carnivores alike include chicken katsu with Asian bar-be-que and hot mustard sauces, Kalbi short rib with chimichurri, fresh market sashimi with inspired accompaniment, roasted vegetable tacos, and a fresh garden burger or grass-fed burger. The full bar will serve classic cocktails and those enhanced by a modern twist, all crafted with housemade ingredients and herbs from the outdoor garden whenever possible.
