This restaurant is gorgeous!! Right on the water and the decor is just as beautiful. We tried their tapas special first and everything was really yummy - the buffalo brussel sprouts are a must try! Moses was our bartender and he was so kind & knowledgeable. Drinks were pretty and tasty. We also tried the Naruto sushi roll which was fresh & delicious and their seafood spaghetti which was served in a fantastic spicy sauce - another must try! We will be back on a sunny day and sit outside!

We had an incredible dining experience at The Cove in Glen Cove. From the ambiance to the service, everything felt upscale yet inviting. We started with a round of mocktails, which were thoughtfully crafted—balanced, refreshing, and beautifully presented. A great non-alcoholic option that didn’t feel like an afterthought. The sushi was fresh and clean, with a nice variety of textures and flavors. The calamari was lightly crispy on the outside and tender inside, with just the right amount of seasoning. For mains, we shared the lobster roll and lobster fettuccine. The roll was generously filled and buttery, served with a perfectly toasted bun. The fettuccine was rich, creamy, and packed with lobster—comfort food elevated to something special. We ended on a high note with the lava cake. It was warm, decadent, and paired wonderfully with the ice cream—an indulgent, satisfying finish. Highly recommend for a date night, a nice evening out with friends, or any time you want a quality seafood experience with a bit of flair. We’ll definitely be back.

The views were so beautiful we took so many beautiful photos. The food was yummy. Just wished the village Greek salad was a bit more it was a lot smaller than other Greek restaurants. The dessert was very nice . Overall we loved it.

Wow! Make sure to get here on a Friday night. Beautiful ambiance. Feels like you're in Mykonos and not in a city. Food is great and the drinks are very tasty. Great music and decor. The lack of 5-stars is just that the temperature inside on an 80 degree night was not comfortable for my guests and some couldn't eat due to feeling ill. Be sure to choose outdoors on a nice night anyway. It is an absolute cool place!

The food was very good, the decor was beautiful, seats comfortable, great view. However, my husband never got the drink he asked for, the music from the club outside was too loud in the dining room, and probably could use more staff.

The setting for the restaurant is lovely… views of the water….pretty lighting….and the dishes were good but its a false front for what the restaurant becomes once the clock strikes about 8pm. Thots… the line for the restroom….just ruins everything nice about it. The restaurant also may be understaffed or poorly managed because initially there’s good attention to the table but after 2 drinks the server just stops coming around and so we ended up not ordering another round of drinks and we flagged down the server for our bill.

I enjoyed the outdoor dining by the dock, and the decor was nice. However, the food left much to be desired. I ordered the steak and eggs, while my son had chicken fingers and fries. Unfortunately, the steak and eggs were bland, even though I requested chimichurri sauce to go with the steak. On a positive note, the margarita was quite good. I ordered a margarita on the rocks, but the menu only listed frozen margaritas. Because I asked for it on the rocks, they charged me an extra $4. I didn't appreciate that, as there was no indication on the menu that there would be an additional fee for this request. The server should have mentioned it, or it should have been clearly noted on the menu.

The Cove is definitely an aesthetic spot – perfect for drinks and pictures with its stylish setup and lively vibe. If you’re looking for a cute backdrop for Instagram and a fun cocktail or two, it’s worth a visit. But when it comes to the food, it was a huge letdown. Everything we ordered was bland, lacked seasoning, and felt like a total waste of money. For a place that puts so much effort into the ambiance, it’s disappointing that the food doesn’t match up. I’d only recommend going for the vibes and drinks – definitely not for the meal.

Came here last weekend for dinner with my family, including our newborn, for a 7:45 reservation. Though it's billed as such in the description, I wouldn't exactly call this a family-friendly restaurant, not in the evening at least. We were seated inside and it was like dining at a nightclub. Loud edm music you need to shout over to be heard, club type patrons, long lines for the bathroom. Loud drunk conversations. I know, we live in a society and all that, but family friendly was the expectation. The parking lot kid at the gate with the Gen Z mop haircut is rude and dismissive, playing on his phone without a care for hospitality. The duo of bouncers were very cool and welcoming, although a bit of a red flag in itself (bouncers at a restaurant?) Waiter was professional and efficient, although extremely busy so we were a bit neglected. Food took a while, which made enduring the loud party atmosphere difficult, but it was excellent when it arrived. I got the lobster fettucine and enjoyed it. This is a great place for singles or a date or a fun night with friends, but not for the wife, kids and in laws. Not dinner at least.

Service was horrible. We had an 8.45 reservation and got seated 940p. I had to leave my table several times to look for a waiter for a refill on our beverages . Kudos to the bartender he made a dynamic dirty martini. I was so disappointed with the food I didnt touch my dinner . Looks like my 10 yrs old plated it . The music is very loud you have to shout to hear each other . However the restaurant is beautiful. We reserved a table for 10 for my husband 55th birthday . This restaurant is more of younger individuals early 20s . Drinks fantastic . Food not good . Service was horrible . Ambiance its beautiful

Was sat at table 73 I asked the kid who took us to the table if we can move by the water since it was our anniversary. He said no because the tables are only for 4 people.. server took our order and never returned. The food was amazing and saved the night. I finally found the waiter texting in the rest room . To top it off the hostess sat 2 parties of 2 by the water. We will try again because of the food. Hope you make the changes needed. If you spend 200 with a tip you shouldn’t have to track your server down.
