    the front of the restaurant

    Unfortunately we didn't have the service and experience we hoped for at Cattails Cove. When we first walked up to the entrance, there was no sign that said seat yourself or please wait to be seated. Two waitresses saw us but didn't greet us or instruct us on what to do. I then asked one of them if we were supposed to seat ourselves or wait to be seated. When I asked her, she seemed bothered by us asking or even being there, as evidenced by her facial expressions and the shaking of her head. We were then told to seat ourselves. The best thing a restaurant can do is have a sign that tells guests what to do when they arrive. They should add that to help with the confusion. The whitefish was good but the fresh cut fries were not. I was very excited to read they had fresh cut fries, but they were not cooked throughly. They were soggy and extremely greasy as pictured. The service was a bit slow. We waited 10-15 minutes before a server came to our table. We had no menus or drinks during that time Although it wasn't the best food or the best service, the view and outdoor seating was spectacular. There were ducks that were begging for your food and would eat it right out of your hand, but it didn't bother us! Overall the experience could've been much better.

    Visiting on a cold, cloudy, rainy weekday, we chose to sit outside under the open-air patio overlooking the water as nobody in the restaurant was wearing masks. Good choice. The outdoor seating view is gorgeous. We enjoyed watching a white egret and other water birds. Compared to the dimly lit, small dining area indoors, this choice is an obvious one. My husband and I ordered the fish-n-chips white fish platter with fries and coleslaw. The fish was tasty and the coleslaw was crisp and flavorful. However, the fries were horrible. Soggy. Oily and a dark brown color. Must have been fried in old oil. Really detracted from the meal. Our server was kind, attentive and efficient. Would give her 4+ stars. We were glad this tiny restaurant was open on a Monday as options are limited in Cedarville. Will try them again in another visit, perhaps after the pandemic as this UP establishment is not committed to safety.

    Stop by for a meal to watch the fireworks and wow was that a great meal!!! We ordered the patty melt with onion rings and a side of coleslaw. The patty melt was just dripping on the plate in the most delicious way. Friendly staff good service & Great views of the water in great homemade ranch

    The fried fish sandwich with chips and coleslaw

    What an exceptional find! The curb appeal is so-so and the indoors quite dark but the outdoor patio area is beautiful! Your voice of wicker chairs under a shaded awning, tables in the sun, or stumps around an area for a bonfire right next to the lake. Ducks and geese floating by surrounded by lovely reeds and flowers. Ordered the fried pickles which were delicious and crispy, in a crunchy bread and dill covering with a delicious fill dipping sauce on the side. Also got the coco loco coconut covered fried shrimp which was served with a yummy citrus marmalade sauce. Others we were with got a Greek salad and a fried fish sandwich which was big enough for leftovers but so good it was finished on the spot! On vacation here and it was a definite good choice!

    Walleye Dinner - included coleslaw or tossed salad. Very good - light batter.

    We Ate outside - nice by the marina. Waitress was very attentive even though they were very busy. I had the walleye dinner and my husband had the perch dinner both were very good.

    Outstanding brunch and service. Great views on the water. Sunday breakfast is excellent. We sat in the porch and overlooked the lake.

    Scary. Not sure I'd want to eat anything coming out of the kitchen here. Go to Hessell 's Islander Bar if you want to eat.

    Needed a place to eat and found the Broken Spoke! The place next door had an hour wait, so we…read morechecked out the Broken Spoke. The wait was about 15-20 minutes - so much better of a wait time! I like the theme and vibe of the place - the play on bikes and name of the restaurant is perfect. Decor is bike themed but not overly done. Rustic and laid back. Our waitress was excellent - very friendly and attentive. All staff were wearing masks. Good drink menu in addition to food. A lot of small plate options but the portion sizes of the small plates could feed at least 2-4 people. I went with sweet potato fries and steak tender bites - delicious! The dipping sauces for the fries had three different options - sweet/savory, loved trying each one. The sweet potato fries were not mushy and had a good crunch. The steak was cooked to perfection - I asked for medium and I got medium! Everyone seemed happy with their food. Restrooms were downstairs. Nice dining option in the city - only con there was no outdoor seating. Picking up on social media - looks like this place used to be Huron St. Pub & Grill not sure if it was a re-branding or new owners. Either way, I hope Broken Spoke is here to stay on the island!

The Po' Boy was our favorite, definitely would go back again. Update: Went for dinner, still a great atmosphere and great service. The tomato basil soup was too salty and we couldn't finish it, the fish tacos were a little fishy, but the Po' Boy was still really good.
