It was a pleasant surprise going to Mike's on the water. As I am a Charlie Brown and Snoopy buff and being a charter Member of the Charles Schulz Museum, I was blown away by the collection of the restaurant and the history of how it became this large of a collection 22,000 pieces. The staff was awesome the food came out very quickly and it was excellent. I can't wait to take my girlfriend there! Steve, Clinton township Michigan

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

I have heard good things about Mike's on the water and was looking forward to trying them out. 7/26/25, the atmosphere was great, and I loved the old look of it. Waited at the host desk for about 3 to 5 minutes before I asked another guess could you order from the bar, she was great with giving directions and giving information about the place. So, I ordered at the bar 2 perch dinners, $23 each. So, I was expecting it to be really good, based on what was told to me by someone who referred me. Got my food and looked at it before leaving. It looked good. However, it lacked an aroma of cooked fish. Not letting that deter my anticipation of enjoying what I was told would be good. I sat down and began to eat. This definitely wasn't worth $23 dollars. Not a fan of the tartar sauce, tasted like nothing more than just mayonnaise. The perch was completely tasteless, with no seasoning at all. The french fries were edible, and the coleslaw was the only high point of this $23 dollar meal. I expected fireworks from this $23 dollar meal and got nothing more than dollar menu thrills.

You guys got to go see this Snoopy collection! And get a Maurice salad! Ask for a shaded spot if it's super hot and be willing to wait for it. Also go for a walk on the other side of the dock where boats are parked next to the restaurant, all the way to the water. It's beautiful and a fantastic date spot! Mine keeps talking about it.
