Party of 7 with a reservation for outdoor seating. Service was AWFUL. Had to wait a VERY long time for drinks, to place an order, to get food. You name it. Food was not great. Had a poke bowl with several menu listed items/ingredients missing. Husband had quesadilla that was bland. We have all worked in the service industry and I am usually understanding. This is as just poor service with meh food.

I frequent this restaurant when I want CRAB DIP and sometimes for my adult beverage, the Cove Rita, I think it's called! Both are very tasty! Great vibes with live music sometimes. I ordered two Crab dips this particular day!! š

Nice people, convenient parking, good happy hour food and drink prices. We sat inside, but the pond at the city center just made the atmosphere that much better.

Hostess needs customer service 101. Was not greeted and she just stared at me until I said something. Greg our server on the other hand was amazing. The drinks he recommended were on point!

Everything was great! I ordered 2 kids chicken tenders meals. Which was very seasoned and fresh! I ordered Philly and fries, I would say Iāve had better Philly cheese steak sandwiches but it wasnāt nasty, I felt like it was missing flavor. I also ordered jerk taco which was fire! The price of the food is very reasonable. I will definitely be back next month for my birthday!

Everytime Iāve ate here the food and service has been absolutely awful. They bring the wrong food or rush people because itās the end of the night.

We were enjoying the restaurant until roaches started to crawl across our table and the waitress tried to explain it away as a āwater bug problemā. Was offered a 20% discount at that point I just wanted to leave.
The food was delicious, and Emma was a phenomenal server.

We were invited to listen to a friend's band that was playing at The Cove Tavern on a Saturday evening and what fun it was. The music was great and the hostess seated us where we could listen to the music but still have a conversation. The rock fish bites appetizer with aioli sauce was amazing. I had the crab cake sandwich with sweet potato fries. The sandwich was huuuge and very tasty. The wait staff was very efficient and friendly. It was such a great visit that we did takeout from this restaurant a week later. The sweet potato fries, rockfish bites and blackened rock fish sandwich was definitely worth revisiting. There's a free parking garage attached plus lots of on street parking. The restaurant faces onto the fountains so the outside seating is also a great place to sit and eat. Great location, great food and great music.

When we arrived we were told that it would he a 45 minute wait . I didn't understand why due to the fact that there were 5 empty tables in clear view. We finally were escorted to our seats. However i noticed that the floor was very sticky. We ordered nacho chips and dip as our appetizers. The chips were very salty and really not enough to feed everyone at the table Also the appetizers arrived 2 minutes before the entree. 1 guest ordered a cheeseburger and fries. The cheese burger was not cooked thoroughly and the fries were cold. Overall the rest of the food was bland. I was disappointed at the fact that dont offer any kind of complimentary desserts for a persons birthday. It was my daughters 20th birthday and it was her choice to try the Cove. She even wore a Happy Birthday sash . However we did enjoy the live band.
