What a horrible experience. Do not eat out much. downhill from time we walked in door. we were not greeted. when seated given 3 menus for party of 8. waited 30 minutes for drink order and when came to take food order gave us special and sushi menu. after waiting so long for another drink went to bar and waitress was there in a heartbeat scolding my husband that he cannot order drinks from bar. food finally came (incomplete) and daughter had hair in food and the food was aweful (soggy and water). Asked for manager and it was same person who seated us and handed us 3 menus. Real shame because it is a great location.
I went to The Cove last Night with friends to see Psycho Daisy. The bar was not very crowded but when we got up to dance the bartenders took away our drinks that were nearly full. They knew who we were and where we were but still took them away! Very bad business! We tip the bartenders every time we order a drink. That is just wrong! Won' be back again!

Food mediocre, service horrendous, parking lot X-rated. Was there last night w/husband and 6 yr old daughter and had to wait at hostess stand to be seated or even recognized. Wait staff is slow at best. Our waitress was more attentive to the outside tables than her customers inside. This appeared to be the case with all the wait staff. The table next to us actually got up and left because their service was so poor/lacking. Music inside was a little too loud - you could hardly hear the person right next to you. Our waitress was nowhere to be found for drink refills, the check, etc. I guess her tables outside were more important. Very disappointed to say the least. And to top it off, the woman (and I use that term lightly) parked directly next to us must have really liked the place because she was showing her gratitude to her male companion in the front seat of her car. Needless to say, we are NEVER going back

Went there back in the late fall 2011 after they opened. Food was great and so was the service. Went back on 8/7/12 and the food wasn't great, and neither was the service. The establishment smelled very musty when we walked in. The waitress literally threw a piece of paper on the table with the specials and never said a word about it. When asked, her reply was oh yeah. Ordered a mojito and was told we have no mint. Very surprised as the prior time was very good. Won't be going back there anytime soon!

Unimpressed . Service was very slow. Waited 1.5 hours for salad. Pasta over cooked. Not really a place I would revisit. View is great .

My husband and I had the pleasure of dining at the Cove this Friday night. There was no wait and were greeted with a professional manner by the well dressed hostess. Our server was very friendly and always addressed us with a smile, the service was very prompt, I ordered the linguini with white clam sauce and it was delicious. My husband had the steak and fries and it was cooked perfectly. We will be returning very soon.
Clam Choweder the best I ever had, Fish & Chips were great too.....Will be back

Needs to be improved all the way around! Food was okay! Service a little lacking! Coffee and Soda(very small) at $3.00 each with no refills on the soda is a little rediculous!

Food is decent! Service is a little unorganized! Prices are okay except for the small soda they give you for ($3) and the price of coffee ($3) is a little much. The view is great.

I had the pleasure of dining at The Cove last night. When we arrived every table and the bar was filled, but the wait wasn't very long. If you are looking for fine dining or an intimate setting, this is not for you. Having said that, this is what you will get...a convivial atmosphere and good food. My dining partners enjoyed shrimp scampi (served with garlic bread) and a huge burger deluxe served on a beautiful brioche roll. My fish and chips were perfectly cooked. The four nice-sized pieces of fish were crispy outside and flaky and moist inside. The Cove is a good, casual place for families, couples, or groups to dine; or for friends to just hang out at the bar and enjoy the live music or watch a game on TV. There are some wrinkles to be ironed out with the service, but they've only been open for a week and I'm sure these minor problems will be resolved in the days to come.

Went there with a few friends. The atmosphere will bring me back, not the food. Bar Pizza was not really pizza, like pita bread or something. Disappointed in quality and quantity for the money, I hope it improves in time because it's a beautifl place on the water. My friends burger was not fresh, kind of dry.

This establishment absolutely compares to no other bar/restaurant in the Bayville area.... definitely a hot spot for all age groups as well...very enjoyable and looking forward to my next visit!
