“ The food, service ,and ambience are great for a Sunday or Saturday afternoon! Love it ”
“ Great water front views! We had a group of 6 with us so we got a few appetizers to try. Calamari was good. I went for the fish and chips. Perfect amount of crisp. The 6 of us finished off a chocolate cake at the end, even though we were full. No regrets! The whipped cream and drizzle give just the right touch! The service was slightly slow trying to leave, just for boxed, and it's complicated to try and split checks if that's your plan. Not a big deal. Overall, great experience! ”
“ We really enjoyed sitting outside by the Intracoastal waterway. There were a lot of really good seafood options, which made it hard to choose (mussels, steamers, ahi tuna salad, Mahi sandwich, and more!) I had the watermelon salad with shrimp and balsamic vinaigrette. It came with 4 shrimps...I would have liked one more. We told the server that it was our friend's birthday and she brought a piece of chocolate cake with a sparkler in it. How fun! They have indoor seating & bar as well as an outdoor bar and live music on Sunday . ”
“ The Cove has been around a LONG time. Through the years it was up and for a portion it was down. The updated look and renovations have really made this place shine again. Great outside seating area and even inside you feel like you are outside. Music on the weekend during the day makes it a happening spot. The fish dip is always a perfect appetizer and super fresh. The ahi tacos are also good, I've had them before and seemed like the amount of ahi was lacking. If you are looking for a good outdoor spot this is the place! Parking can be full but they also have valet. ”
“ We visited the Cove in Deerfield Beach for the first time with family visiting from Baltimore. The food was delicious and the service was amazing! Our waitress Amanda L, was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu she recommended several dishes that we all loved! Our favorite was the conch fritters, fish dip and the sun kissed shrimp. The watermelon mojito was also amazing! We will def come back again! ”
“ The bartender Diana took the best care of of me. It felt the closest to home I've been since I've been in Miami from NY. She was so hospitable and made an amazing drink. I'll be back and I'm bringing friends. 10 out of 10... would highly recommend! ”
“ Amazing waterfront spot with beautiful views and fantastic food! The highlight of our visit was Bobby, the bartender--friendly, attentive, and great with recommendations. We started with the ahi tuna nachos, which were fresh and flavorful, then had the mahi mahi sandwich, which was perfectly grilled and delicious. Bobby also mixed up some excellent cocktails that complemented our meal perfectly. Great service, great drinks, and a perfect atmosphere. Definitely coming back--grab a seat at the bar with Bobby! ”
“ Kind staff and great portions! I was surprised with how solid this place was. My pasta was well-cooked and seasoned. There was a decent amount of seafood and I loved the sauce! A bit tangy but buttery, both decadent and refreshing. I finished my plate before I knew it, which I find rare for a gigantic plate of cheesy pasta. I think they do everything well here, so it will be a safe choice to come with family. My friend ordered their mac and cheese with a side of salmon. He says the mac was a bit bland, but the salmon was a great portion and seemed well-seasoned! ”
