“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had the wonderful chance to visit The Cove Lakeside Bistro and wow — what an experience! From the moment you walk in, those wall-to-wall windows and the lake view just take your breath away. The menu is completely scratch-made, with options for vegan, gluten-free, or any allergy accommodations you might need. The Lobster Cobb and the coconut-crusted cod and chips are definite must-haves. Whether it’s a date night, special occasion, or just a casual dinner with an unbeatable view, The Cove delivers every time. Highly recommend signing up for Millennium Rewards too — you don’t want to miss their specials and events!“

“Has always been a solid option, however my wife and I were in for dinner at 8pm last Tuesday and the service and food was sub par at best. There was Zero hustle in the restaurant, claimed they were busy but the patio was maybe 3/4 full, and we were one of 4 tables inside. The vibe was completely off. Multiple servers staring at each other, while it took tables 10+ minutes to be acknowledged and have the server come to the table. Had a view of the kitchen, and there was zero hustle there either. It seemed like no one wanted to be there. Food was not good and almost inedible. We didn’t even bother complaining. If this were my first time there, I would never go back. However I know that it’s not normal. We were highly disappointed.“

“Last night we tried Condado for the first time. We were instantly met with a smiling individual who sat us promptly. Breanna was our server and was an absolute delight. Breanna explained the menu and gave us fun info about the art work (which was one of my favorite parts!). All of the staff were cheery. The food was absolutely fantastic; the best carne asada I’ve ever had! Try the pineapple lemonade and smoked queso! We will absolutely be back and tell all of our friends! You guys are exceeding the industry standards!“
