The staff provides friendly and quick service, even on busy days. The menu features delicious options such as the huge and well-worth-it pretzel, light and crispy Calamari with Remoulade sauce, and fresh steak salad. Visitors often praise the fantastic food and perfect atmosphere, especially enjoying dishes like burnt ends and the lobster Mac and cheese. The nautical-themed decor adds to the waterfront vibe, making it a good place to eat and relax. The outside patio, located right by the water, provides a nice setting for drinks or casual meals during the day. While the food generally receives positive remarks, some mention that the pretzel is huge and tasty, with generous sauces, though additional sides like ranch may be costly. Service is described as good, and the atmosphere is cozy and enjoyable, whether for a casual lunch or a special dinner. Overall, the Cove offers a scenic and relaxed environment, with a reputation for decent food and a nice view.
