Came her for dinner and had a wonderful time! The manager, Tom was so sweet and checked in on us to make sure everything was going well. The food and drinks were delicious and this place is perfect for a date night! read more

I love a good waterfront restaurant, and the Cove was the perfect blend of American fare, tropical drinks and waterfront views (especially at sunset). Check their schedules for info on live music. It was also cool to see patrons pull up on their boats and take their orders to go or dock their boats. I've been there twice and definitely plan to go back read more

Came on a hot Saturday afternoon with a group of 18 friends for a casual, outdoor, fish focused lunch with live music. There was a big parking lot & valet available. The Cove Waterfront Tiki Bar is on the Intracoastal Waterway and I enjoyed the music & the boats passing by. We were covered so we didn't bake the big ass fans helped & the open air restaurant felt like a vacation. There is a dock right in front and many boats pulled up to dock and dine. The Cove has been here since 1963 and it's become an institution. I feel like I was here with my parents in the 90s. Jerry Lehman's duo played while I perused the menu . Michaela took good care of us, service was on point but she needed a hand clearing our large table. The Asian tuna salad looked appealing, as did the sandwiches burgers, fish plates, and appetizers. The drinks look like they were the sugary mixes so I had a a spicy Bloody Mary. My ahi tuna salad was huge, reasonable, fresh and really delicious. All of us enjoyed our meals. A 20% tip was added to our bill as we were a big group. read more

The location is so harmony and the food are amazing , from the starter to the main course. We are definitely coming back.

We had a good lunch. We used to come here a lot many years ago. Back then it was a bit more run down/local tiki bar-ish and we even came here with my husband's kids. Last time I was here was with a girlfriend for a lobster special that was a couple years before covid. It's a tad more upscale/chic now. It has gorgeous wall decorations inside (it's still open air on 3 sides) and an area that looks almost like a jungle. The very large covered patio area offers a great view of the water and boats. As with everything everywhere prices are higher now. However, you can still navigate the menu for a not too crazy priced meal. They only have one menu -- it's the same for lunch and for dinner -- and no lunch specials. I asked. My husband got their classic cheeseburger that came with his requested well done fries. It had American cheese, lettuce and tomato on the toasted bun, too. He said it was very good. I got an order of mussels from their appetizer section. The mussels were described as "drunken" due to the white wine in the tomato, garlic and lemon sauce. They were not stingy with the garlic! The portion was much larger than expected and quite filling. It came with a slice of toasted bread. Now that we've been, I'm sure we will return sooner rather than later. read more

Haven't been back since remodel, nicely done. Food was great, wife had fish and chips, the fish was fresh and large portion, fries were crispy. I had the seafood pasty and it was huge and delicious, spicy! Took home and had enough for two meals the next day. Service was very good! Will definitely be back. read more

A pleasant Waterside lunch this afternoon at The Cove. They were busy but we were seated right away at a booth near the water and cooling breeze. I went with the Classic American Cheeseburger and fries. Our server Whitney was pleasant and helpful. Our food was delivered in an expected amount of time and was delicious. The only negative was they do not have the proper size forks for the mussels, you have to use a salad fork. Other than that, a delicious fulfilling lunch! read more

Great food, great service, great atmosphere! Highly recommend the shrimp scampi and the fish and chips. Enjoy the views!! read more

Docked in the Marina for a few days, so we visited the Cove several nights in a row. Two of the days, there was live music to enjoy. The service was excellent. The bartenders were busy but we were well taken care of. Now, I recognize I'm at a marina in FL, but I'm allergic to shrimp and this was hard to accommodate as they only have around two-three options for those of us with a seafood allergy. I DID enjoy the food I was able to try which was the burrata salad and a burger. Both were excellent. Will visit again next time! read more

The view was way better than the food. My blackened chicken pasta was not great. The sauce was actually good, but so much pasta and very little chicken. Pretty average. The salmon was a bit rubbery too. Great view of the yachts going through. read more

Absolutely unacceptable. We watched a staff member throw customers' leftover food directly into the water while people were actively dining nearby. She also dumped the contents of drink cups into the water, including plastic straws!!!! For a waterfront restaurant, this is disgusting to witness while eating and shows a shocking disregard for the environment. There is no excuse for intentionally polluting the water, especially with plastic. If this is how this restaurant treats the very waterfront it profits from, I cannot recommend supporting it. Management needs to address this immediately. read more

I was in for lunch yesterday great view nice breeze. Roxy was my waitress great service , food was delicious and so are the drinks. Hteat suggestions by Roxy Highly recommended read more

Wee visited here a few weeks ago for lunch, during the week. We enjoyed it so much we came back on Saturday and were happy to find a parking spot free and a great booth on the second level, more calm and a great view! We had a delicious Quesadilla that was more like a French crepe. Wonderful flavor and texture. We also had Chicken Pasta. Tender chicken excellent sauce. To finish, we enjoyed the perfect Key Lime Pie! Just made as it should be! Great service. Very comfortable temperature with large overhead fans! Can't wait to go back! read more

We stopped by The Cove in Deerfield Beach for a midday bite, and it was such a great experience from start to finish. Since we went a little earlier in the day, there was no crowd and we were seated right away--always a nice surprise. But the real star here is the location. The open-air seating right on the Intracoastal is absolutely gorgeous. Super relaxing, with just the right breeze and that perfect waterfront view. The food? Also a win across the board. My daughter had the Lobster Mac and Cheese (rich, creamy, and packed with lobster), I had the Shrimp Scampi (garlicky, buttery, and so good), and my husband went classic with the Fish and Chips--crispy and fresh. We're already talking about coming back. Great view, great food, great vibe. What more could you want? read more

Food always good & location can't be beat. Servers are attentive & process reasonable.

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 . read more

Had a wonderful time here! Someone tell Peter and Cindy it's not acceptable to photograph workers at their place of work and that it's actually kinda creepy! 5 star service all around regardless of the weird customers! read more

Service was off served appetizers no plates or silverware Fish was a bit fishy !!!! Between the view we had and our food our dining experience was a bit disappointing when we reported our incident to the manager he responded by laying bill on the table saying pay and bill and leave right away ! So much for the customer always being right ! read more

Got sick from the fish and chips possibly conch as well. I would not recommend this place. Had to look at this while dining. disgraceful

Hallelujah! The Cove has finally gotten its act together after many years of inferior food. Wonderful post renovation experience with excellent menu selection, pleasant service & of course, beautiful atmosphere. I am particularly impressed with Mike G, the business customer service rep responding to all the various (mostly positive!) reviews. Definitely reflects the improved restaurant experience with a caring team. Yaaay! read more

I love the atmosphere here, as a local even I feel like I am on vacation and with all the fans and breeze I am not sweating or feeling overheated. I love the cove burger, they must put something in it that makes it so addicting as well! The wait staff is super attentive and very friendly. read more

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! read more

4 stars mostly for the location and vibe. It's right on the water and open air. Very pretty. Went pretty late at night, but service was hard to come by. A little overpriced for not that great food. I'm giving a lot of grace because it was close to the kitchen closing, so I'm sure they normally are better during normal hours. My mocktail was good! But definitely wouldn't pay that much. Id go back for drinks and an appetizer because of the beautiful view. Can dress up or down to go there, it's a pretty spot to walk and take pictures too! read more

We really enjoy the vibes at The Cove. The location is fantastic right on the water, and everything we ordered was delicious -- the mahi quesadilla is a must, along with the crab cake and ahi tuna nachos. We sat at the bar with a great view, the drinks were equally good, and the pricing was very reasonable for the setting. Great spot with good vibes all around. read more

We came across a few reviews for this spot and decided to check it out for a laid-back dinner and it did not disappoint! The atmosphere was on point from the start: live music, intercoastal view, and plenty of outdoor seating. There's a large bar and patio area, plus covered dining, but on this Saturday night, everyone was on the patio. We started with the ahi tuna nachos and wow easily a reason to come back on their own. We also ordered the New England lobster roll and the mahi mahi sandwich, both fresh and flavorful. Our server was quick and super friendly, which we especially appreciated with a toddler. Definitely planning to return to try more from the menu (and the drink list next time!). read more

We started with the Coconut Shrimp as an appetizer and it was tasty but a little "soggy" it didn't quit have that friend shrimp snap. For dinner I had the Crab Cakes and my friend whose birthday we were celebrating had the Mahi Mahi. We both like the food a lot but didn't care for the drinks. We both ordered a Mojito and my friend sent hers back because she didn't like it. I didn't care for it myself because it didn't taste like there wasn't any alcohol in it but I don't like sending things back especially since the meal wasn't served to us yet. She ordered a cosmopolitan and she didn't care for that either. When I bill came I noticed the Mojito was listed on the bill as Bacardi Silver Rocks and not Mojito. If that was what they served us it tasted just like water. Her cosmopolitan was listed on the bill as Grey Goose DOUBLE Cosmo which we didn't ask for a double. So when you pay your bill ask for an itemized bill before paying. They use the new technology of paying at the table and some may feel pressured (like I do) to ask for the itemized bill which I did after the fact to make sure everything is correct. The server did remove the one Mojito which was sent back. The service was good but not the best. The server was nice and may have been new but I was expecting better. The ambiance was nice with a view of the intracoastal. They have large ceiling fans so even on a hot day/night the air is always moving. For handicap customers they have a mini elevator to bring you up from the main outside dining area to the inside. Food - Delicious Service - Good but could have been better Drinks - Have to give it a thumbs down read more

The Cove is the kind of place that keeps you coming back because it delivers on both the food and the atmosphere. The setting is one of the best parts. It's right on the Intracoastal, so you've got beautiful water views and can watch the boats go by while you eat. It's a great place to relax, meet friends, or have a nice dinner without it feeling stuffy. The food has always been a big part of why I enjoy going there. Their clam chowder is excellent, their take on a Cobb salad is really good, the fish is always a strong choice, and the burgers are consistently fantastic. The restaurant also has a lot of space, which gives it a comfortable feel, and they often have live music in the afternoons or at certain times, which adds a fun energy without taking away from the laid back waterfront feel. Overall, The Cove is a great choice if you want very good food, great views, and an easygoing atmosphere that makes you want to stay awhile. A good way to get even better review drafts from me is to tell me the platform, the star rating, and whether you want it to sound more polished, more casual, or more enthusiastic. read more

Great service, great food! The mussels were the start the show. Great lobster rolls as well. Family friendly!

The atmosphere is nice and the waitress was too, but I had a Svedka martini and it was $18! You've got to be kidding me. I also had the crab cakes and they definitely aren't the real deal. Full of stuffing or something in addition to the crab. read more

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! read more
