We seek these dishes out when traveling in Florida. The dishes here were equal if not better. Cathy, the exceptional server who makes a fantastic old fashioned, laughed at how clean our plates were. We had never had tuna crudo or tomato burrata before but both dishes were equally pleasing. Highly recommend this restaurant if you're in the area, or worth a trip if you're not.

All were full and was told that if we were to dine outside our meals would come out faster, but I would have to come back inside to place orders. Took a picture of the menu, which other than what the protein was did not go into a description or what would come with the entree. Came back in with orders and was first told need card to put on hold then said, maybe just charge for entire ticket might work best. So that is what I did. The card machine also asks for the tip up front as well. Meals come out fried fish platter for two, which I was told was better deal for our two folks than ordering each separately really didn't come out any different then what they were getting if single order. Seabass was maybe 4 inches by 4 inches in size and the grits were not creamy like you would expect, but clumpy. Asparagus was thinner than a pencil and tasteless. My granddaughter's steak looked okay, but she had to cut it with a plastic fork and knife as none was provided for any of us and meals all came out on paper plates. Everyone except for the seabass order came with fries and we had to ask for ketchup and a squirt was added to the paper plates. No one came around to see how we were enjoying our meals or if we need any refills (husband had to go in and get a glass bottle of tap water for the table.) If the staff would have come around and checked on us they would have gotten an earful. I get now why they want you to pay ahead of time and not at the end of service because no one will becoming around to check on you and they want their money up front. I would not have tipped generously for what we were served and how we were not checked up upon. This place to the locals may be a gem, but to folks on vacation wanting a great meal and overall experience it was not. Over priced, lack of service from staff, not so great food and lack of indoor seating. If I could it would have been no stars.

My husband and I are on a mission this summer, searching for the best Friday Fish Fry near us…read more After 10 Friday meals, Cattails is leading the way. The place is newer and very comfortable with a great bar, if you need to wait a bit for your table. We waited only 10 minutes and we did not mind. At all. A cut WAY above the rest are the Classic Old Fashioneds, served the way they should be -- heavy on your choice of bourbon and very light on the soda. (Definitely NOT Wisconsin Style.) I had a smoked Old Fashioned that was one of the best I've ever had! But the meal got better! A salad bar is not a requirement for a fish fry, but it sure goes a long way. Fresh, tasty, and a great way to start the meal. We both ordered the perch. I had a baked potato side and he had the fries. Best perch we've had -- light on breading, hot and not oily at all. Service was excellent and we decided to have a second Old Fashioned back in the bar for dessert. We'll be back!

Also they make great muddled old fashions and if you want something different try a smoked old fashion. You go to Cattails once I know your going go back.

Jill was on duty and she is the daughter-in-law of Charlie. She said her son is being groomed to be the 4th generation to run this renowned family business and that's great to hear.

Also they had cooked shrimp, guessing it was smoked also..... The trout was from Lake Huron and the whitefish was from Lake Michigan, so those are the two I got. I thought the price was really reasonable and they were both delicious, and totally different, of course. The place was clean and bright, and they all kinds of other little things, like mustards, local sodas, chips and shirts and cups, ice cream, postcards. Service was quick and friendly. Was it the best smoked fish in Door County, like I'd read about? Maybe, I don't know for sure since this is the only place in the county I've gotten smoked fish, but it very well could be true!
