“1st timers at Cove Lakeside Bistro and we say Wow Wow Wow! It was my birthday and we had wanted to visit for Valentine's Day but my husband was sick so we decided perfect time to go for my special day. We absolutely loved everything. Crab rangoons (best sauces), lobster fondue, topside burger (has a crab cake), bistro burger, fries, French onion soup, and carrot cake. Best cheeseburger I've ever had and I love cheeseburgers! Waitress was wonderful and sweet. Loved the look of the place. We will definitely be back and not just on on special occasions!“

Zero: Non-Alcoholic Bar Cocktail Bar • $

“I spawned in at the front door fractionally after a young lady set a sign out on the sidewalk advertisingthe place. It startled her and left me befuddled. Since I was here, I ordered a NA beer and a couple of mix drinks. It was record album and trivia night. I sat with a group of strangers that provided good conversation. The DJ (Dave?) ran some rounds of music trivia and interacted with patrons. The staff is great and friendly mixing up some tasty drinks.

I highly recommend grabbing some friends and joining in.“

“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!“

“I went to Martinis for the 1st time in 2000 when it was a quarter the size and had no bar or alcohol. It's been fantastic watching the place grow, yet remain the same since. I had the pleasure of coming back last April after about a 4 year absence and immediately felt at home. My wife and I, our best buds Fat Pat and Lauren Order, and my niece Maddog and her fiance Mike, all met for some slices and drinks. We sat right next to some amazing jellyfish art I don't remember seeing before.

It was fantastic watching my niece try to order ranch. It was her first time coming so she didn't know. In case you don't know, don't ask for ranch. Just don't do it. The ranch will prohibit maximum meat sweatage which is what we all know these gals are looking for. We also ordered some Italian subs and meatballs to make sure everyone had a good time. Sure enough, 1 by 1, all 3 ladies started pouring meat gas out of every pore.

They have some cool rave lights out back that you can crunch out to after your meat sweats subside. You can see in the picture below. The ladies, especially my niece, were still meat sweating wicked hard so they didn't make it in time.

5 out 5 for this legendary spot!“
