Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Excerpts

We made a dinner reservation at The Cove and walked in to a lively, welcoming atmosphere that immediately set the tone for the night. The service was attentive from the start, making us feel well taken care of throughout the evening. The cocktails were great and a perfect way to start the meal. When the food arrived, it did not disappoint. The Dijon maple cedar plank king salmon was absolutely delicious — rich, flavorful, and memorable. While the restaurant is definitely on the pricier side, the quality of the food, drinks, and overall experience made it worth it. We visited in December, and the cold weather meant we missed out on fully enjoying the marina view. Still, it was easy to imagine how perfect this place would be in the summer, sitting outside, enjoying a great meal with beautiful views of the water. It’s definitely a spot I’d love to return to when the weather warms up.

I made reservations for Sunday brunch to celebrate my husband’s birthday. We had a wonderful experience from start to finish. The staff were all very welcoming and helpful. We were seated by the window with a beautiful view. I had the crab Benedict and my husband had the crab and shrimp frittata.Both dishes were delicious, not overly salty and a just right portion. We each had a glass of champagne, followed by a hot espresso and a slice of eggnog cheesecake to split. The dessert was recommended and it did not disappoint. They included a candle to acknowledge his birthday. Overall a great place to celebrate and we plan on a return visit with family members.

Beautiful location. We visited The Cove to watch the Christmas boats, and even though our reservation was after the parade, the harbor views were still stunning while we waited. The restaurant has a great atmosphere—I found the sushi counter a unique and impressive touch for a non-sushi restaurant, likely showcasing the freshness of their fish. We didn't try the sushi this time, but the Poke Towers looked great for a future visit! ​The food was excellent. My husband had the ribeye, and though we usually prefer our steaks without sauce, this one was cooked perfectly and the sauce actually complemented the meat well. I had the scallops as my main dish and they were superb. We added a side lobster to each of our main meals and the lobster was perfectly cooked. Appetizers were crab cakes. The crab cakes were phenomenal—not a "patty" with filler, but a perfect balance of crab. ​For dessert, we tried the Ooey Gooey Butter Cake. Having had the original in St. Louis, it’s hard not to compare (St. Louis sets a high bar!), but it was a nice end to the meal regardless. Took an eggnog cheesecake and plit was eggnoggy so perfect for holiday prepping! I’m already planning my next trip back to try the seafood fondue—even if I have to convince my husband to give the cheese a chance!
