We were seated within the short wait time given. The decor reflected the history of the area and the view out over the river to the distant island was beautiful. The service was quick and friendly. Food (almond & butter whitefish and lobster stuffed whitefish) arrived in a timely manner and was delicious. Opted for the homemade cherry pie and was not disappointed, as it was one of the best pieces of cherry pie I've had.

Excellent seafood chowder! Right in the heart of Fishtown. A bit pricey but worth it for the scenery and the food.

Based on prices we decided to share a lunch. We had the fish dinner. It had two medium sized pieces of fish small spoonful of coleslaw and small handful of fries. Fries cold and hard. Fish was very tasty. Coleslaw was terrible. Server was nice and atmosphere above the dam was nice. Bathroom was super small with a lime outside of it. Most likely wont be back

Great food and I love the atmosphere. They also have a great selection of gluten free options.

I had a burger and my hubby had the whitefish. We had a party of six and the waiter was friendly and efficient.

This was a great place to pause and refresh after a morning on the beach. Right after we crossed the street for dessert. Get there as early as you can so you don't have to wait to long. Blessed to take in this small town gem.

Great food, great service, amazing view of the sunset. Staff was exceptional and responsive to questions and needs from the greeters at the front desk to our server, Justin. The Cove excels far beyond others in providing amazing entree options, especially fish. Definitely will return and recommend to others.

I have never had a bad lunch or dinner here. The whitefish and walleye is truly some of the best I've ever had, and it always tastes super fresh + is cooked perfectly. The whitefish pate is also amazing. Some of the menu is a bit pricey but the food makes it well worth it. Service is also always great and attentive!

This is a casual dining place. We ordered the whitefish sandwich and the walleye fish and chips, and both were good. The patio has a very nice view of the water, making it a solid option for casual dining.

Very good! View is unbelievable. Try the cherry pie. Be sure to walk around after. Google is asking about the noise level. I only said moderate because if you choose to eat outside the dam in noisy (but awesome!)

Delicious food and great atmosphere- had a casual, late dinner and would definitely come back.

Got the New Orleans pasta with a side Caesar salad and a cherry pie, totaling about $50. The seafood pasta had a lot of flavor and was cooked nicely, probably better to share since it was a little heavier.

The chowder is the go-to, but don't sleep on the burger. The Leland Lemonade is a perfect summer refresher.
