We hadn't been to CōV until a few weeks ago (only Sunsets when it occupied the same space years back and was on the, um, forgettable side). We added a new sheltie puppy to the family in April, and he's such a well-behaved little dude who loves people and other dogs, so we use any excuse to get him on a dog-friendly patio so he can live his best life.
My little guy, Mac, was not only fawned over by the hostesses and service staff as we got in, but the clientele there was super friendly even when Mac wanted to jump up to say hello.
The outdoor patio was already classily designed and comfortable, and the food turned out to be every bit as good. My wife had the CōV Chopped Salad. Her takeaway: "Oh my god Scooter it's not a huge gut buster of a salad like a chain restaurant or a tavern slings at you, and they toss it friggin' perfectly. Nom nom nom." 5 stars.
I had a cup of New England Clam Chowder, which was creamy and illuminating, transporting me to the first light of dawn as it crept over the horizon, casting a golden hue across the dewy Maine coastline as I settled into a weathered Adirondack chair.
Where was I?
Oh, so I stuck to the sea and opted for the Lobster Roll as well. Just one man's opinion here: It's the most wicked pissah lobstah roll I've had in the Twin Cities, I've had them all, and it isn't even close. In fact, my favorite Lobster Roll for years has been from Captain Kidd's in Hermosa Beach, and I'd honestly need to do a side-by-side to truly rule fairly. It's a seriously delicious sandwich and worth every bit the 35 shekels I paid. 5 stars for both items.
We frequent Wayzata restaurants like 6smith for special occasions, Gianni's when we want a steak and say hello to our favorite waiter Scotty, McCormick's when we want some good pub food and be low-key, or Benedict's when we want an amazing breakfast. CōV has easily been added to the rotation specifically for relaxing outdoor time, and now I can't wait to check out what dinner is like. We'll be back [not a threat].
