Food was okay. I was expecting more since it was shepherds if you sit outside be careful of the birds they will try to take your food. Maybe I'll try dinner maybe the food will be better

The Cove was truly wonderful! Staff were kind, the bar manager Bre was phenomenal and her espresso martini is out of this world. The manager Blake was very attentive and he really took pride in making sure all the guest were taken care of. I can’t wait to go back! We had the shrimp cocktail for an appetizer, so tasty, and black grouper is a MUST for entree.

Cove Kitchen + Bar is a real find, largely thanks to Chef Jay Embler. The menu is full of delicious surprises, each dish crafted with skill and care. From the standout Pork Belly to unique takes on everyday favorites, Chef Jay Embler brings a fresh and exciting twist to beach-side dining. The relaxed yet elevated vibe and friendly service make it a perfect spot for a great meal out. Don’t miss it!

I went for Friends and family soft opening. Truly everything was amazing even on their first night open. Chef Jay’s food was all prepared with meticulous attention to detail and the service was excellent. And that VIEW!! We watched the sun set over the water from our patio table and it was the best experience. The pork belly appetizer was probably the best thing I’ve ever eaten. Our table also got the crab cake app which was delicious. I had the lobster cannenoli (sp?) and it was amazing. The garlic mashed potatoes were excellent. My friends ordered the sea bass and ribeye mid rare. Cooked exactly how they requested. They all finished their whole plates and we sat in silence for a while just appreciating the great dinner. Not cheap, but worth every penny for the food and the experience!
