Great restaurant on the water. Two bars on the deck. Only one bar area serves food. We sat outside so not sure about eating inside. Wait staff was very friendly and informative. Fish and chips was awesome đ. Great menu choices. Stop here for lunch, dinner or drinks.
Poooooor service! Fourth of July and they serve our friends for food and tellll us the kitchen is closed!!! Are u seroiusssss??????)
Absolutely awesome. The fish was fresh and delicious, the fries were also very crunchy but also soft too. They catch everything fresh before opening making it the best seafood restaurant I've been to in my life. Would definitely come back!
Great spot for food on the water. Great views of the ocean and some mediocre food. The service is great. I had the salmon and the plating looked great. It lacked just a bit of salt. Other than that I enjoyed my time here. I noticed you can pull up on a boat/jetski park and come in for a bite to eat. They do have a dress code as well.
1 margarita and vodka and tonic $37 with tip.
Tuesday night experience.
Iâve dined at Cove Restaurant many times over the past three years while working in the area, but my recent experience was deeply disappointing.
Within the first five minutes, I should have known to try somewhere else. I sat at the patio bar and wasnât greeted or even acknowledged by the busy bartender for 3-5 minutes. The gentleman next to me, wearing a military cap and shirt, remarked, âThey must not like the military,â as he too was ignored. He also pointed out how filthy the bar top was, smeared from a sloppy rag wipe-down. I didnât think much of it initially, but the night only got worse.
The service was glaringly poor, primarily due to kitchen delays. I had to inquire about my garden salad with scallops, which was significantly delayed, and later about three shrimp cocktails ordered 20 minutes earlier. The lack of attention was frustrating and unacceptable.
I donât usually complain or write reviews, but I felt compelled to speak with the manager when I saw him delivering food on the patio. Unfortunately, his lack of customer service skills only worsened the experience. I suspect his attitude contributes to the poor service throughout the establishmentâsomething Iâve never encountered in my 15-20 previous visits here. My goal was to inform him of the delays, hoping for a sincere apology and perhaps a comped beer. Instead, he offered excuses, blaming the heat and a busy night, saying, âThatâs just how it is.â His dismissive response was utterly disappointing.
The bar servers eventually offered me a complimentary beer, which I appreciated, but the managerâs behavior was unacceptable. Please invest in training for him and the staff to prevent other customers from having such a frustrating experience.
Another couple adding about their food as this is postedđ.

Way overpriced for mediocre food. Pull up in your multi million dollar yacht and matching attire or you'll feel like a 2nd class citizen and host and waitress will add to that feeling with 2nd class service. Ugh! Just go to Barrett's down the street better food at a better price and still all the waterfront outdoor fun and views!

We got takeout for our night at the lighthouse. A pound of lobster, shrimp cocktail, Mac n cheese, chowder, and cheesecake were over $100, but we had enough for two meals and were not hungry. The quality was excellent, especially the lobster and shrimp. We wished we could have gotten the oysters, but there was a in-house special going on, so we were told we couldnât do take out for these.

The fish and chips was poorly cooked. The batter was soft, thick and tasteless. It came off the fish like a glove, the fish was also tasteless. The fries were excellent though. The other guests at my table had the same bad experience with the food they ordered. I would go for a drink but never to eat. Great view, specially on the patio.

Sea view on the restaurant's terrace. Food and service was admirable. A band played live music starting 5:00 pm.

The service and the location are great. Nice alert staff and the views are great,especially the sunset behind the battleship. The food needs improvement. It will always be successful because of the location and great organization and staff but some of the dishes could use some more flavor and creativity.
