Cove Tavern

This place is very mediocre. The best part was the drink. The wings were a little warm when we got them. Not hot like they should have been. Not the best, not the worst I have had. The queso had a weirdish taste to it. We both ordered a burger. When asked how we wanted our burgers cooked, we said medium and we also asked for a runny egg yolk. The waitress said that the eggs will be done according on how you want our burger cooked. An interesting response. We ordered medium rare in hopes we would get the runny egg yolk and a burger cooked rhe way we wanted. We did not. The egg was fried hard. The burger was medium well. The floors were sticky along with the table. The service wasn't great either. It also had a damp smell. We should have left when we walked in. If you are looking for a mediocre place for dinner, this is your spot. We should have just had dinner at the hotel. 😂

I had the Loaded Chicken and Waffles and it was delicious.. The chicken was a little salty but I was able to manage. The atmosphere was very relaxing. The live band was setting up while we were there; however, we left before they performed. I would definitely come back again.

First time at Cove Tavern for a late lunch/early dinner and will definitely be going back!! Restaurant and bathrooms were clean!! Food was delicious as well as our cocktails and they also have happy hour specials and daily food & drink specials!! We enjoyed the Covearita, the Tavern Mojito, and an ice cold draft beer as well as Loaded Tater Tots, Jumbo Shrimp Bangers ((serrano aioli was so good)) a Santa Fe Crispy Fried Chicken Bowl ((everything i wanted it to be and more)) Shrimp and Grits ((my sis was raving about these after the first bite)) and all were something to talk about even our fries!!😂 Also our server/bartender “Jen” was awesome, very attentive and patient and helped me with some great recommendations as well and she makes a great drink so what more could you ask for?? 10/10 will be coming here again!!

The best Shrimp and Grits I’ve ever tasted! Extremely savory and the bread that comes along with it was extremely soft and buttery. Unlike lots that are crunchy. The wings are perfectly cooked, not drenched in sauce but coated just enough. The desert I had (the apple cobbler) was great however the “ ice cream “ that comes along with it is not actual ice cream. It’s what’s called an “ice cream product” which doesn’t melt like real ice cream would. Rather it turns into a mushy pudding texture over time. For context, the photo of the ice cream is after it’s been sitting out for 2hrs (still not melted) Overall a great meal. Compliments to the chef.

Overall our experience was just ok. We were greeted and seated immediately and our server came out shortly after. Our orders consisted of crab dip, shrimp and grits and Cajun salmon with mac n cheese and collard greens as sides. The dip was watery and didn’t have much flavor. The shrimp and grits, though a bit too cheesy, were some of the best I’ve ever had. I liked the salmon dish but the sauce seemed to overpower the salmon itself. The greens were pretty good but I didn’t care for the mac n cheese. It was also bland in my opinion. I also ordered a blueberry martini, which was good but it took a while to get to me (server forgot about it). Overall, I would give the place another try if I’m in the area.

We went there for my husband's birthday. Me personally I didn't enjoy it. This is a casual restaurant bar with a ton of people, very loud...you can't hear what the person at your table is saying. The atmosphere is off for me, since I'm more classic type vibes. The food was good 👍, I had the Caribbean salmon little too sweet but maybe that's the dish itself. For appetizer we had the spinach dip, way too salty. The chicken wings were amazing! We enjoyed them, I also like the French fries. The service was not that great... We didn't see him checking on us. I ordered some french fries with the appetizer that was served after the main dish. Are you kidding me. I requested 2 boxes I received one. So, when it time for me to pay how you are demending 18% for tip? Do you remember the service you just provided maybe because you had 5 tables at the same time. I don't know that. But I always do my best to tip. Thank you. Not my cup of tea ✌🏽

My sister invited me to come to this place which i have been there before. We sat outside on a beautiful breezy day. Food could of been better collard green were super salty and my salmon rub was also salty. For the rest of the food was tasty and good but overall the seasoning was very salty on the slamon and fish. We did report the issue and wish that we didnt have that experience but we did. I doubt we would consider going back for food perhaps but maybe for drinks is fine.

Me and my friend came in on a Sunday morning, and it wasn’t busy at all. Multiple servers walked right past us without saying hello or acknowledging us. We waited about 5–10 minutes before another customer told us, “You can just sit yourself.” So we seated ourselves,. On top of that, my chicken and waffles didn’t even have powdered sugar like it was supposed to.

I got the hangover burger and my husband tried the barbacoa taco and the salmon bowl! Wow was it amazing the food came out hot and tasting fresh, fries crispy, burger cooked just the way I asked and I've never seen a better put together salmon bowl. We were not disappointed. The server was exceptional, very kind, patient, and helpful when we were indecisive. He was such a delight to have met and will be back again for refreshing service and delicious food!

What in the heck has happened to The Cove?! We used to live on the peninsula and went often. Since moving southside a few years ago we haven't had a chance to return but when we were invited to a friend's birthday dinner there last night, we made the trek over and were excited to eat at one of our old favorites. HUGE disappointment. The service was absolutely awful. We were a large party and I'm a former server so I knew to give some latitude and have some patience but come on! After a crazy long wait to get drink orders taken and finally filled, the waiter managed to bring my husband the wrong beer on his first round TWICE... and on the next round? Ha! Wrong beer again! Then the food came out in a really odd sequence and we had to do a lot of plate swapping. Not the end of the world but those PITCH BLACK brussels sprouts they brought me kind of looked like the end of the world. I've certainly had "blackened" crispy brussels before, and figured, meh, the centers will be nice and tasty and won't be an ashy mess but that was a mistake because indeed.... the black ash that used to be brussels sprouts went all the way to the core. I'd ordered those and the appetizer sparerib dish. For some reason the ribs didn't come out until quite a while after the sprouts, so I sat with my dish of ashes and watched those lucky enough to have edible food eat. My friend had nothing, not even a plate of ash, in front of her so we pouted together. Eventually the ribs come out... somehow they too are a burnt looking mess, but surely it would turn out to be just a nice crispy edge. They were also drowned in hoisin sauce and to be fair, hoisin sauce kind of does fix almost anything. So feeling pretty certain I couldn't possibly end up with TWO absolutely inedible dished I bit into them and darn it!!! What little meat was on the ribs was tough, greasy and charred. I'm so hungry by this point I'm eating the lime in my cocktail glass and spooning hoisin sauce directly into my mouth. Speaking of cocktails- now I need more but you know what else I need? WATER! I've literally been waiting for my water since we first sat down an hour+ ago. The waiter keeps changing- it's a different guy than the one who took my order and the one who brought out the bowl of charcoal. Whatever. I'm dying now from my mouthful of lime and hoisin sauce so I beg the latest waiter to please bring me another drink and water. He comes back with another drink and gotta give credit here- the bar tender knows their business, these are GOOD drinks. I'm thirsty and have no water, so I guzzle down my glass of vodka. So now I've had a lot of vodka, hoisin sauce, and a few rounds of sliced lime for dinner. We get the bill and of course since it's a large party there's an auto-gratuity. Think it was set to 18%- which is normally a crappy tip for me, like, I'd NEVER leave less than 20%- but this whole disaster of a meal was so bad I couldn't bring myself to bump it up. Cove.... let's get our act together again. Let's make Brussels Sprouts great again. Let's train our staff on how to track drink orders. Let's work on how to better serve large parties.

Had dinner at CT twice in the same week. Located in a nice setting at City Center near the fountains, CT is a great spot with an array of menu options and spirited drinks. It's a short walk from the Marriott, so it quickly became our favorite spot while visiting the area. Bulgogi fries and corn muffins were fave! Everything else was excellent. Service was friendly and efficient. Can't wait to return!

Food was beyond excellent and the drinks are unique and delicious It's a lovely time to visit there are Christmas decorations out at town center and you can walk around the lake The bar area has plenty of seats and the waitress was amazing Definitely a great experience and will be back

I was introduced to the Cove Tavern by a friend. We went on a Sunday , and the service was great. They have plenty of food choices and options. I had the Philly Cheesesteak Quesadilla, Spinach Dip, and Cesar salad. All of the food was fresh and made to order. My drink was delicious.

Food was great! Crab cakes were REAL & full of lump crab. The staff was friendly and accommodating for our family. The atmosphere and location was in a beautiful part of the city. I wish we had one in Chesapeake! Great experience overall. Would recommend an option to pay at the table (similar to Bubba's) to speed things up, but overall, a fantastic find!

I'm here for a work conference and the I asked the server what was best and she recommended the chicken and waffles, and omg it's sooo good!! The water also tastes really good and refreshing. The service was A++, the host was very sweet and offered recommendations as well. The place is nicely decorated.

Had a party of 14 the other night and was very impressed with the service and the food! Cam was our server and she took great care of our large party! Made sure we had drinks, waters, and refills! The group had a variety of dishes from burgers, to bowls to crab cake sandwiches and all seemed to enjoy their food! I personally had a cheeseburger and was cooked to my medium request and had the cheese and toppings i requested. Fries were nice and crispy. I saw the sweet potato waffle fries some of my dining companions had ordered and they looked delicious. I had Fry envy! It's a large establishment with lots of seating and a bar area with seating. Even with multiple large parties the evening we were there, the kitchen and servers were able to keep up!

The best Shrimp and Grits I've ever tasted! Extremely savory and the bread that comes along with it was extremely soft and buttery. Unlike lots that are crunchy. The wings are perfectly cooked, not drenched in sauce but coated just enough. The desert I had (the apple cobbler) was great however the " ice cream " that comes along with it is not actual ice cream. It's what's called an "ice cream product" or "dairy product" which doesn't melt like real ice cream would. Rather it turns into a mushy pudding texture over time. For context, the photo of the ice cream is after it's been sitting out for 2hrs (still not melted) Overall a great meal. Compliments to the chef.

Went for a drink after work and they were setting up for live music outdoors, patio wasn't full so we asked if we could get a table there and we're told the Wait was 10 minutes......1 1/2 later they finally told us our table was ready During this time it rained. Everybody came inside the bar inside and outside was not full when we got there filled up. The bartenders finally felt bad for us and offered to get us drinks even when there wasn't room to sit at the bar so when chairs became available we just sat there on the ordered appetizers as well. Really don't understand why it took so long to get a table though Ordered: Loaded Tater tots Chicken Nachos Cocktails

I had to ask for a drink menu twice. Other than that, it was a good experience. I was able to park in the parking garage and walk in the side door. I sat at the bar and ordered a Tiki Tavern. It went down very smoothly, while the presentation was perfect. Also ordered a Covearita with Vodka vice tequila . Again, smooth and delicious!! The bartender understood the assignment! She was awesome!!!

The food wasn't all that bad, but our waitress didn't write anything down when she took our order and we ended up getting the wrong food/drink. I was wanting the house smoked ribs, but ended up getting the braised short ribs. My fiancé who is an IPA fanatic ordered an IPA and got hard cider instead. When we told our waitress the drink was a hard cider, she came back and told us that the bartender said it was how it was supposed to taste like because it was a lighter kind of drink lol. It wasn't even hoppy! We looked the drink up afterwards and sure enough--they gave us the wrong drink! Another waitress came by, dropped us some big drinks we did not order without asking or saying anything. We had to tell our waitress that someone's else's drinks came to our table. ‍ It was just a mess. But food-wise, like I said my dish wasn't so bad even though it was the wrong one. Meanwhile, my fiancé got their award-winning crab-cake sandwich and unfortunately it was on the drier side. We've had better crab cake for sure. We wish it was a better experience all around.

The server was overwhelmed very little communication! The appetizers took so long... and the food took over an hour. The place was almost empty so I did not understand the delays. My tacos were so cold but very tasty! Big Roach for the win climbing up the walk by our table... We won't be back ... Cold Tacos after that wait is unacceptable!

Our server Emma was outstanding!!! The happy hour specials are great and worth the savings. The Cove Brown Ale is delicious.

Emma was the best server everrrr! Got my drink order super fast & the food came out quick & fresh too She was super attentive & never let my glass get empty before checking on if I was ready for a refill! 10/10 would recommend

Hit and miss service. Ordered my second beer and two chicken tacos. Got the beer, never got the tacos. I knew something was up when people who arrived after me received their orders. Nice place, but not the finest of service.

This place has a cute location in Oyster point center in Newport News. I went during happy hour so I decided to try some small bites. The chicken was extra crispy as I requested and the shrimp were flavorful. The bartender was attentive and provided wonderful service. I will return again to try one of their regular priced menu options !

I met up with six ladies for lunch here on a chilly Saturday. Parking is a little tricky in the area but that has nothing to do with the restaurant. The menu was adequate with typical bar/tavern food. Most of us ordered iced tea and it was served luke warm with very little ice. The food came out in waves but we were all busy chatting so we didn't mind. We did have to ask for iced tea refills and our server brought us a pitcher but no ice. The server was pleasant and polite. The food was ok. Nothing special but not bad either. I shared some loaded tater tots and fried pickles with one of my friends. They were fine. I also had one of their pretzels which was also fine. There was nothing wrong with the food or service, but it really was just an average dining experience with nothing remarkable. I probably would go again if someone wanted to go there, but I wouldn't make a special trip myself.

My wife and I took our baby out for a walk yesterday and stopped just to have an app and drink. That had a nice patio set up so we decided to sit outside. Tonya took care of us and was wonderful from the moment she said hello. She gave us great recommendations. I had the breakfast old fashioned and my wife had the tavern mojito (both shown). I had the happy hour garlic parmesan wings. My wife had the happy hour nachos. Both had great flavors and the nachos were a great side for happy hour. Can't wait to go back again and we hope Tonya is there.

Sat outside,no umbrella left on sunny day,but it was o.k The burgers are char-grilled and very tasty indeed. The fries not so much,but the drinks are good,I would go back.

Service was alright. Ambiance was as well. Food was good. Not exactly worth the price listed on the menu but I didn't regret the food I ordered. The drink I ordered was watered down but overall a rather good experience. I would not throw this in the pile of places to never go to again. May return.

We held our co workers going away lunch here.. The food was great and the drinks were awesome. The restaurant had a very nice vibe, indoor and outdoor seating and a great view of the fountain. Service was great even though we were a large party. Our waitress Megan was very sweet and attentive and everything came out very fast! It was pricey but I will definitely be returning.

I'm at the restaurant as I am doing this review. The food at least what I ordered was disappointing. I usually like to order my dessert first so I did. It was a buttered cinnamon apple pie. The ice cream you can't mess up. This dessert was super sweet I had to remove it from the table. Then my order was Rockfish nuggets. Rockfish if no one knows is very bland and you should season it before cooking this was fried pretty nicely but the taste was not there. I also ordered fries that I never received. The next dish was Rockfish and Shrimps. The food was cold. The explanation was I guess the warmers weren't working and I guess they had been repaired but still not up to full working order. So below the whole dinner was sent back. She then just ordered the Crab cake and fries. Our waitress was just okay. Should maybe think about using a pad and pencil to help remember orders. The best thing on the table was the little cornbread muffins and the lemonade. My overall food experience is only 2 stars. I hope management will get back to me. I was visiting for the Thanksgiving holiday. Over $60.00 and bad food. Ambience loud but it's a tavern bar. Expected!

Food and service was great. Food location within walking distance to many local hotels.

Food - 3.5 Service - 4 Ambiance - 4 I would probably average this place to be more of a 3.75. I think 4 is generous for the food, and while the service and ambiance were better than the food, I give more weight to the food. I got the santa fe bowl, and it has so much potential. But the blackened chicken was REALLY dry. It was one step away from being chicken jerky. I thought the toppings were yummy, but sparse. I asked for extra sauce and pico and it definitely picked up the bowl. It could have used more cilantro in the bowl as well. I would not mind ordering this bowl again but would hesitate to get the blackened chicken. I didn't think the chicken was really blackened either, maybe they brought out the grilled chicken instead. ? The chips on the side were also really stale tasting. Like they opened the bag a week ago and never closed it. Again, it had potential to be a yummy dish but the dry chicken and chips really knocked it down. It's a large place and can fit a large crowd, and the server was really nice. I give the service a 4 because it took a LONG time for us to get our food. Really not a knock on the server but the place wasn't even crowded.

Not sure what happened to the cove. Definitely going down like it was when they closed during the covid. Had a waiter who opened up the fruit for drinks with his fingers, not using thongs or tooth picks sed everyone does it. Not true. Service sucks now and the food is not good. Very disappointed. Use to come every Friday for happy hour. It appears new staff. Will not be returning.

Went here in a recommendation from some colleagues. It was taco Tuesday and so tacos it was. Food was fresh and delicious. Staff was attentive and efficient. Atmosphere was a cross between a local restaurant and sports bar. Really good. I'm sad it will be closed for renovations next time I'm in town. Definite recommend.

We sat out on the patio, beautiful view, great food and our server Emma was great! It was a great meal, I had the nachos for an appetizer and they were great

We started with appetizers (not shown) pretzel was cooked to perfection and the cheese sauce was great. . The show stopper was the petite cornbread. I could probably say it's the best I've ever tasted and would go back for more. Husband had the crab dip. I had the chicken and waffles but requested the apples on the side. Chicken was fried very well and everything tasted great. Husband had the showstopper burger with fries. He said the burger had weight and it was food. He was even able to have a pour of Bourbon which he hadn't tried. Great experience all around. Our waiter Bailey was attentive and very nice. Setting was quiet and had ample sitting both indoor and out.

Great place for date night, celebrations, and evening with friends. The service was great, as well as the drinks, and our meals. It is a short drive to the Ferguson Center.

So we have been coming to Cove Tavern about every six weeks for the last seven years. I know they recently went through construction and we have been here perhaps two or three times since construction. Tonight we both had the fish tacos, and rice. Now, keep in mind that on principal, I almost never return anything. Tonight my rice tasted as though it came out of the freezer. My wife ordered Prosecco and the lady brings the bottle to the table, doesn't open it, leaves it and goes away. Tacos had more batter on it than, there was fish. We initially asked for sparkling water, or Perrier , there are so much confusion that we said just forget it. This is overall one of the worst nights I've had this restaurant. I suspect it must be a change of management. Not sure if I'll come back.

Went in on 7/29/23 and it was busy and the air conditioning was out. The temperature wasn't unbearable so we sat down and were attended to 10 minutes later or so. We started with the jumbo lump crab dip and it was very good. The bread was seasoned very well. I ordered two of the bang bang shrimp tacos and one Baja fish taco. My daughter had a crispy chicken taco. My wife ordered a Barbacoa and goat cheese taco. My tacos were very tasty. The shrimp were crunchy and fresh, so was the cabbage and sriracha. The fish was flaky and hot. My daughters crispy chicken taco was excellent. The Barbacoa and goat cheese was very tender and the goat cheese added a nice flavor to it. The menus were dirty and sour smelling when we got them and the floors were very slippery and greasy. Service was good, even with our waiter having to train a new person. Food was very good. We'd go back.

First time coming down to The Cove. It's located right near the water and I was really excited to try this place. I had checked out their website and called ahead. The website wouldn't let me make reservations for parties under eight and the person who answered the phone said they didn't take reservations for parties under 10. There is free parking in the PNC garage and it's close to the restaurant, so that was nice. Because they wouldn't take reservations for our party of 3, my friend got there ~6:45 and was told there was a 45 min wait. But there were SOOOO many tables open...both inside and out...so I didn't know why we had to wait. But we walked around, talked, twiddled our fingers, and waited--and finally got sat about 1.5 hours later (strike 1). When we were sat, it started raining, so the waitress told us to move the table over. Let me say that again, our waitress told her customers to move the table (strike 2). We placed our drink orders and it took 30+ min to get them. Our food orders took forever as well, and my friends entree which was supposed to come w/fries...didn't get those said fries til *wait for it* 30+ min later. And all these orders were brought out separately. We also had to ask for silverware, so my friend (who ordered the pasta) could eat the pasta she ordered. The waitress seemed sweet, but was very oblivious. I asked for a take out box bc I had a whole taco left and she never brought it. The food...well, let me put it like this. When I asked my friends how their food was and when they asked how mine was...we all paused for a second and said "eh". Overall, pretty disappointed by my visit today. I wanted to like this place but they made it very difficult to. They did seem busy with some bigger parties (? High school graduation season) but they were not ready for tonight and I would not recommend this place to a friend. I probably will visit other restaurants in the future.

Service was reliable. However, the dishes served to me from my fork, to my plate, to my cup, and my seat, that was soiled with old food I couldn't even finish the food I ordered. The theme is nice. Too bad that's all this place had going for them.

Food was very good, came out in a timely fashion. We ordered the seafood platter broiled, with the exception of the rockfish, which was fried. Very tasty, although I felt the rockfish could have used a little additional seasoning. (the broiled shrimp were seasoned well, I will try the rockfish broiled next time) Ashley S. provided us with great service and was very attentive to us. Live music was good and the volume level was just right. We were sitting almost directly in front of the stage area.

Great place. Came here to see a local band and loved the drinks and food. Drink selection was large with great tacos. Atmosphere is relaxed but very nice.

City Center at Oyster Point is the location of the Tropics themed Cove Tavern. Restaurant has a nice atmosphere overlooking water fountain. Quite large place with both indoor and outdoor dining, with a live band outside during our visit. Brian was our server and he did a solid job complying with a few special requests--professional and friendly. Booth seating was fine, but the nearby bucket to catch dripping water from ceiling was a bit off-putting. Apparently the roof repairman is MIA. The specialty cocktails were different (Watermelon Cooler & My Rowdy Friends), but if I had to do over I would order a customary cocktail. Crab Dip and Bavarian Pretzel were legitimate starters. Entrees sampled: Crispy Salmon Bowl; Philly Cheesesteak; Burger w/ side salad and Jumbo Lump Crab Cake Sandwich. The huge side salad arrived chilled with crisp lettuce, sliced tomatoes, onions and yummy croutons. I could not finish the salad after devouring my perfectly cooked cheeseburger without bun. Cool place, not sure if it is a chain, locally owned or what but don't be afraid to stopover at The Cove.

Still a beautiful location, nice atmosphere - even live music (although I think they could find a better cover band based on our visit tonight lol) My daughter ordered the Bacon Cheeseburger, and I stuck with my favorite order, the Baja Fish Tacos. We tried the bruschetta for the first time. There were capers, goat cheese and tomatoes and herbs - we really liked it. Zero complaints (about the food or service)

Service was excellent, food was exceptional, nice clean place with a mixed crowd, it was loud but as expected for a Tavern, Restrooms were clean and stocked. I can see it as a regular rotation. EAT LOCAL.

Everything went well! First, excellent customer service and I went with my little family on a chill day! But that FOOD, Was top tier for a tavern! Season, hot and flavorful! Drinks were fire too!

We visited on a Friday. There were a decent amount of people at the bar, but only 2 tables in dining area occupied. The greeting was cold and the hostess and other staff were hemming and hawing over where to seat us and talking about how of they sat us in a certain area "he" would get mad. Whoever "he" was, I do not know. The banter was rude and uncomfortable and unwelcoming. With no diners, how hard is it just to seat us or at least have your private banter away from us so we do not feel like an imposition. Once sat, we ordered. The server seemed like she would rather be doing anything else than helping us. I don't expect an over zealous server or some magical moment between us and them. She was just cold and her expressions were too. This was an extension on the greeting we received. More unwelcoming vibes. The food... Flank Steak - my son had this and he really enjoyed it. His side was the loaded mashed potatoes. My husband had the chicken quesadilla - it was awful. He ate a small piece of it but left the rest to be tossed. My other son had the hot chicken sandwich without the hot sauce. He liked it. It was a really large sandwich and served on Texas toast. I had she crab soup and a wedge salad. The soup was really bad. The white pepper was overwhelmingly strong and it tasted nothing like traditional she crab soup. Red peppers also overwhelmed the flavors. Crab? I saw none. Husband tried it and so did my son. We all agreed. It was just bad...and it was barely lukewarm. I sent it back. The wedge was a joke. It was 1/2 a head or ice berg with a scant amount of blue cheese and sliced red onion. Bacon? Nah....there were little bits of flabby red meat. Micro-meat? No thanks. They were so small, and there was so little of it, that I could not taste it. Worst wedge I've ever had...how do you mess a wedge up? The roof was leaking into buckets and the Friday night band was setting up. The drummer was beating his drums over and over to tune them up. Totally understandable that has to be done to prepare. It was so loud and disturbing though. Maybe if the greeting team wasn't so dismissive and the server didn't treat us like we were inconveniencing her and like she was disgusted to be there, the drumming would not have been as grating. Leaky roof? It happens. Again, it was the holistic experience that made everything pretty terrible. We won't return but, if you want a place to have cocktails outside, maybe that would be a nice experience. They have a patio with lots of furniture for outdoor dining and drinks. 2 stars because my kids liked their meals. If you try it, I hope yours is better!

Megan was an amazing server/host along with the Airforce waiter. Those two made our large party of US Navy Master Chief's quarterly outing; unforgettable with delicious/tasty meals and friendly services. We definitely recommend this location.

We had Megan as our server and she was great! She recommended the brussels sprouts and they were amazing.

I like this place. Cool location, cool atmosphere. Great service. Shout out to Liv, great job! Thank you. Food is good and plentiful. Ya best bring your appetite walking in the Cove or be prepared to carry out a doggie bag

I would neverrrrrrrr go back!!!! If I could give a zero I would. The so called crab dip was a block of melt cream cheese with slight hints of crab meat. I ordered a well done burger and I believe I heard the cow mooing as I cut into the bloody disaster. My sister food was cold. The waiter was nice he was a bit overwhelmed bless his heart. This place has the potential to be amazing but it just SUCKS!!

We live locally and Cove Tavern never disappoints.the food is always good and so is the service. We came for lunch and Megan was awesome. She also made great recommendations for sides. Love it here!

Current staff when we went were horrible and non-communicative. The one server who was going to assist us was very kind and did the best he could to work with us and the large group he had. The other servers walked around, tending to some of their current tables and then ignoring us. One made eye contact with our table while slowly walking by with no sense of urgency, but continued on doing whatever she was doing. My friend and I decided to leave after not even being given drinks or asked for drinks after 15 minutes. It's disappointing because we love the food when we have gone before and were looking forward to eat there again, but the service we received was a complete 180 from what we dealt with last time where our server immediately greeted us and got our drink orders. It's definitely got us rethinking going on Sundays.

Their crab cakes are amazing and Ashlyn S is so sweet! No wait time on a Saturday night for us!

The food was delicious, and I especially enjoyed the Caribbean grilled salmon. Megan, my sever was very nice and attentive.
