On arrival we were seated right away however we unfortunately waited over 20 plus minutes for a server to attend to us that was the only take back I had other then that the food/drinks A one.
The food is always delicious and the vibe is inviting. We always go here as a family for Easter Brunch and the prices are affordable, definitely recommend The Cove !
I must say it was very pleasant ! Didn't have to wait too long ... food was great. Great spot for girls night , date night, and even family time. Will be back soon

DJ Mr Youngs is on FIRE...AKA The Best of All Time. He is Above Excellent
Took my mom here with the family for her birthday. The food was great and the service was excellent. The only thing that I had an issue with was the only menu we could follow was the brunch menu. If you wanted a vegetarian meal, it would have to come off the brunch menu, and that was limited. Other than that everything was really great.

I may admit the food was great, rice and peas bring me back home in JA, you can tell the ingredients used and also the steam fish is incredible.my wife had the coconut curry fish and you can tell they used natural coconut. The drinks are overly strong and the music is too load for a wonderful place with overall great atmosphere.

This was my third time visiting Cove Restaurant, and unfortunately, it will be my last. The previous visit were terrible, but I decided to give them another chance, hoping for improvement. Sadly, things only got worse.
To start, the service was painfully slow despite the restaurant not being busy. It took nearly two hours for us to be served, and even then, only half of our order arrived. My daughter ordered wings and fries, but after waiting for hours, the wings came out without the fries. The fries were brought out almost an hour later—by that time, we no longer wanted them.
The food quality didn’t make up for the delay. I ordered the oxtail Rasta pasta, which was utterly disappointing. It lacked seasoning and was completely flavorless. For a dish that should be rich and delicious, it felt like no effort was put into preparing it.
If you’re looking for a restaurant to enjoy a meal or celebrate a special occasion, Cove Restaurant is not the place to go. The poor service, long wait times, and low-quality food make it clear that customer satisfaction is not a priority here. After three terrible experiences, I’m officially calling it a day with this establishment. Save your time, money, and patience, and look elsewhere.

The jerk wings are moist and authentically flavored, delivering the true taste of jerk. This is one of the few restaurants where "jerk is jerk." When dining in, the meal portions are generous, but takeout portions tend to be smaller. The service, however, can be slow and somewhat disorganized, especially when handling groups. Overall, the food quality is exceptional compared to most restaurants in the area, and the portion sizes for groups are impressive.

Great first-time visit. We were there to celebrate a birthday. I really enjoyed the food, atmosphere and music. Even though it took a while to get it. Yes, it is clearly stated on the menu that "It could take up to 90 minutes to get your food, depending on the size of the group", but there was a group that got there after us, and they were served their food before us. Our group enjoyed the drinks, and I really enjoyed their Rum Punch.
I told my husband how great the food was, and we look forward to returning.

Worst restaurant ever ! Came here for my friend birthday dinner everyone received their meals and after a 45 mins wait I still never got my meal. I informed the server that I didn’t want the meal anymore as the rest of the table was done their meals. I ended up paying for 2 drinks and a soup and the server didn’t even bring back my changes I had to inform the restaurant manager that I didn’t get my change.. smh unbelievable never going back again !
Didn’t even get the our food and then brought it out when the entire table was done. Then wanted justify why it was late at this point didn’t want it and the waiter gave attitude. Worst experience coming 8hrs away then over charge us on the bill for items we did not eat will be looking for another spot when we come to nyc

I gave it 3 stars because we was celebrating a birthday. By at 8:30pm all 15 guest were seated. We ordered appetizers and dinner
the appetizers took over an hour to come out and the dinner arrived 45 minutes later. Some guests claim their food was cold. Others said the oxtails was nothing but bone and gravy. This is not a place I would highly lead recommend.
Recommended dishes: Rice and Peas, Steamed Mussels
Just had appetizers and drinks. Both were amazing. Our waiter started out slow. But the manager took care of us.
