    Great breakfast Bloody Mary! Here from out of town and found this great dive bar! We will be back!

    Bartender was very sweet. It's a dive bar, everyone is very nice. He ordered a coors light. This place may be small, but it gets packed out. Stop by and grab a drink and a game of pool. Cool ambiance.

    The BEST whiskey sour! Thank you Matt!

    We love this place! Pool tables, awesome drinks, neon lights, and a service team who are like family. It's everything you want in a local bar, sitting right in the heart of Murrieta. Karaoke nights leave you with memories that'll last a lifetime. We'll definitely be returning. You can't turn down a Joannie's invite!

    Pool on a Saturday afternoon is great fun.

    I'm still coming here after 15 years and love it every time. The bartenders are awesome, and the local owners have made it even better. Patrons are great, and even though I'm an old grumpy bastard surrounded by a diverse age group, it always feels like home.

The flavors were so good together and the polenta was yummy. I had the lobster BLT, which is a cold sandwich. That was absolutely amazing. Perfect mix of tangy and savory. The fries were so good as well. My boyfriend got the backyard Barbecue platter. Which is on their special menu that is only seasonal. He truly enjoyed his food and the ribs were so tender, this specific food option had a lot on the plate and will definitely get you very full and could even possibly share. Our server was Makenzie, she had such great service and is very kind and accommodating. Our waters were never empty or even pass the halfway point because she was so on top of checking on us and making sure everything was good. I highly recommend this local spot in Menifee, will return!!!

    A $25 cake-cutting fee shouldn't have overshadowed our son's birthday, but the way it was handled…read moredid. We've been coming here for years. It has been our go-to steakhouse, and we've even celebrated our anniversary here. We love the food, which makes what happened during our son's birthday dinner especially disappointing. After an excellent steak dinner that cost approximately $330, we brought out a small, pre-sliced ice cream Polar Pizza for our son's birthday. I began serving it myself because it was already sliced. The waitress then came over and, in a confrontational manner, announced that we would be charged a $25 cake-cutting fee. The fee may have previously been mentioned to my wife, but I was not aware of it when I began serving the cake. I understand that restaurants have policies, and a calm explanation would have been enough. Instead, the situation was turned into an unnecessary scene during our son's birthday celebration. Then another large male employee came over, stepped directly into my personal space, and angrily asked, "Would you bring beer into a bar?" He got right in my face without first asking what had happened or allowing me to explain. His tone and decision to get that close were aggressive, disrespectful, and completely unprofessional. We ultimately paid the $25 fee even though the staff did not cut, plate, or serve the cake. The fee was frustrating, but the confrontational way the employees handled the situation was far worse. Families considering celebrating a child's birthday here should confirm every outside dessert policy beforehand. In our case, what should have been a joyful moment for our son became an upsetting experience. It did not leave us feeling as though families celebrating with children were welcomed or valued. A simple and respectful conversation could have resolved everything in seconds. Instead, their response changed the entire mood and ruined what should have been a special ending to our son's birthday dinner. The food may still be excellent, but a restaurant is remembered for more than its steaks. After years of loyalty, the aggressive and disrespectful way this was handled during our son's birthday has cost them our business. We will not be returning.

Since we wanted to taste as much as possible, we pretty much ordered everything and shared! My favorite starter was definitely the Hamachi Crudo. The presentation was beautiful and colorful, and the flavor was on point. I honestly could've kept eating more of it! For my entrée, I had the Wild King Salmon. It was good, but probably not my favorite since I've had better salmon dishes elsewhere. The Campanelle pasta, however, was delicious! The pasta was perfectly al dente, and the sauce had a unique and tasty flavor. My mom ordered the braised short rib and really enjoyed it. The meat was incredibly tender and juicy. Of course, we had to try all three desserts too! Our favorite was easily the Ricotta Doughnuts. So good! The three-course dinner was a pretty good deal and a great way to try several dishes. It was a slower evening, so the restaurant was nice and quiet, which we enjoyed. Our server was super friendly and helpful throughout the meal. The food did take a little while to come out, but everything tasted fresh and well-prepared, so it was worth the wait. I'd definitely come back again to explore more of their regular menu!

The open, beautiful space felt like it nourished both the body and soul. We started with the House Focaccia & Whipped Fresh Ricotta, topped with saba reduction, pine nut gremolata, and moon drop grapes. It was absolutely incredible and the perfect way to begin the meal. We also enjoyed the Roasted Potato Purée alongside our dinner, and it was rich, creamy, and packed with flavor. The dehydrated parsley, fried garlic, and grilled scallion oil elevated a seemingly simple dish into something truly memorable. For our entrée, we both ordered the Braised Brandt Beef Prime Short Rib, served with stokes purple yam purée, bon shimeji mushroom conserve, kohlrabi, and black trumpet demi-glace. The short rib was melt-in-your-mouth tender and beautifully prepared. To finish, we enjoyed the Lemon Posset with pickled blueberry compote, lavender chantilly, and English shortbread--light, refreshing, and the perfect ending to an amazing meal. And of course, the espresso martini was a must! The service was excellent, the food was outstanding, and every detail felt thoughtfully curated. We loved Talia Kitchen so much that even if we aren't staying at the resort or spending the day at the hot springs, we'd absolutely make the trip back just for dinner. We can't wait to return!

What keeps me coming back is the feeling of home you get when you're here. The tortellini, ahi tuna, and other offerings go far beyond the typical greasy bar food. There's genuinely something for everyone, and the quality continues to impress. The recent changes to the interior, while not extensive, have made a noticeable improvement to the overall atmosphere and experience. But what truly sets The Cove apart is the staff. They are amazing, even when the place is busy, and especially when dealing with difficult customers who sometimes fail to treat them like human beings and instead act as though they're servants--and sadly, sometimes worse. The restraint, patience, and professionalism the staff show in those situations should be recognized and rewarded. They are a huge part of what makes The Cove special and, ultimately, what keeps people coming back. One person who stands out, among a staff full of genuinely caring people, is Savannah. The staff at The Cove remember your name, remember what you like, and make you feel like more than just another customer. Savannah embodies that perfectly. She always greets everyone who walks through the door with a warm welcome and a thousand-watt smile. Even when she's extremely busy, Savannah takes the time to make each person or group feel special and appreciated. She genuinely cares about the customer experience, and you can see it in the way she interacts with everyone. People like Savannah are what turn a place from somewhere you go to eat or watch a game into somewhere that feels like home. We all have countless choices when deciding where to spend our hard-earned money, and the people who make you feel welcome are what make that choice easy. Steelers football may have been what brought me through the door, but the people and the feeling of home are what keep me coming back.
