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. read more

The food was ok. Kind of loud and noisy for my taste. Service was good. I had the Shrimp Scampi. It was kind of bland. read more

I like restaurants by the water so we decided to give this place a try on our way back home from a mini vacay nearby. It is very inviting, enjoyed the ambience and it is nicely decorated. We were greeted upon arrival by the hostess and were sat promptly. However the waitress took a while and was not very pleasant to deal with. The calamari appetizer was a hit for all of us, kids included. They were nicely cooked and tasty. For the rest of the food::: - shrimp tacos: tasteless. I expected some flavor as they come with pico de gallo but was disappointed. Ended up having to put lime, salt and pepper for some flavor. - mahi mahi sandwich: great option. Wished portion was bigger but it was yummy. - fish and chips: too greasy and soggy. - penne pasta with marinara: didn't try it but my kid did like it - chicken fingers: another good choice. Chicken was well cooked. We made the most of it and enjoyed our meals and were gone. To sum it up, we liked the place itself but wished food would have been better all around. read more

My hubby and I usually come here when there is a birthday party or family event. The restaurant is situated on the intracoastal with a stunning view and lovely breezes if you can snag a table on the water. Unfortunately, they won't seat large parties by the water, so we usually sit inside towards the back. There is still a nice breeze and lots of fans to keep us cool. Speaking of large parties, they automatically tack on 20% in gratuity for parties of 8 or more. The service we had this time was pretty good, but the bartender was just awful. My hubby's $17 Patron Margarita tasted terrible and didn't have much tequila at all. My sister's white sangria was flavorless and watered down. At least hers was cheaper. I enjoyed my mahi sandwich and hubby enjoyed his full rack of ribs, but he said they were a bit dry. Overall, this is a place to see and be seen and enjoy the waterfront. The food is good, but not spectacular for the price. The bartender needs to be retrained. read more

I come here often, usually with at least 2 other people. Today, I needed a break and came in alone and I guess being ine person doesn't mean I should get service. I even dat at the outer bar top so I wouldn't take up a table or a spot at the actual bar. I had to flag down a server, who BTW was so nice and totally took my order. TONY is amazing, he has waited on me before. TONY is the saving grace of this review! read more

I'm beyond disappointed with this establishment. Nearly every time we've ordered, the food has been wrong. Tonight was the last straw. I ordered a simple chicken quesadilla and a salmon salad. Instead, they confused the order, made me wait, and when I finally got my food and drove just a few minutes home, the salmon was cold and missing the sour cream I specifically requested 2 of. When I called, the manager Toni was dismissive and implied I was only upset about the sour cream, completely missing the bigger issue: yes also my husband was upset speaking to me about how we should throw away the food since they don't to fix the problem after wasting my time then Toni proceeds to tell him to talk to him like a man. Yeah Toni, my husband was upset, he asked me not to order from you guys but why is the GM or whatever he said he was speaking to a paying customer that way most of all it makes me so upset. He was very dismissive. this place constantly messes up orders. Even when we came with friends few months ago, everyone's food was wrong. We let it go then, but this has become a pattern. I waited about 45 minutes for my food. When I first ordered, I was outside in the parking lot. Did a couple phone calls that I had to do and realized it was 20 minutes past the time so I go to the bar to pick up my food and they tell me they haven't even put it in. Seriously? Then I was like whatever things happen then I put in the order again after I patiently waited at the bar to even ask for my food the first time. Went to my car waited another 20 or so minutes just to give me cold food that's really what's pissing me off. They just can't get it right. For $31, I expect hot food and the items I ordered--not repeated mistakes and a rude attitude. Instead of offering a proper solution while I was still right down the street, I was told to "come back tomorrow." That's not acceptable. Then I said you know what I'm just gonna come back and return your food and give me a refund. He did not want to. The food was untouched. I'm not eating cold salmon. We will not be returning, and neither will our friends and neighbors who have had the same experience. The food can be good when done correctly, but the inconsistency, lack of care, and poor customer service make it not worth the time or money. read more

The Cove - Chicken quesadilla looks like they just threw it together. This place is so disappointing. - Seafood Near Me - Deerfield Beach, Florida

Great ambiance, pretty decor, and great view. Service was good, but food is below average. I'd go back for drinks but would skip on the food next time. Had the grilled chicken sandwich, chicken was thin, overcooked and dry. Bun was dry and almost stale tasting. Fries were lukewarm and soggy. Meal was not inedible but nothing good. Heard good reviews from others at my table for the fish dip, watermelon feta salad, and blackened mahi tacos. Mahi sandwich also sounded like a flop. This place has such potential- wish the food was better! read more

I had the best burger I have had in a while at this place if you're looking for a good burger at a reasonable price I highly suggest coming here and giving the Cove burger. It was delicious. I couldn't put it down and finish it super quick. The appetizer was also pretty good. I am not 100% sure what was the name of it but nothing to rave about it wasn't nothing crazy read more

AMAZING!! the food was all so good. i ordered the thai tuna salad which was huge and super generous with the ahi tuna. my friend got the seafood linguine which he really liked. we also shared the conch fritters which were very good (especially the homemade cocktail sauce). our waitress was very nice and the food came quickly. we were also seated right by the water which was great read more

We had a great lunch, the service from Amy was amazing, the food was also amazing, and the views are incredible, such a beautiful restaurant

Let me just start by saying anywhere you go to eat on your boat should be a pleasure to be there... From the time my wife and I arrived the whole experience was just trash. Horrible attitude from the host a young girl.. bathrooms were horrendous, disgusting. Our server didn't even have a uniform on she was wearing a dirty oversized hoodie with an apron. Ordered calamari and before I can even crack the bottle of our Pellegrino and pour 2 cups the appetizer came? Steaming hot plate ice cold food obviously not fresh probably sitting out or a reheat.. It was at least 30 minutes before she even came back around and I had to get her attention to have it sent back. We ordered shrimp scampi and the short rib. Waited almost an hour for that to come out and the restaurant was not even that busy.. Shrimp scampi was very bland no Parmesan cheese and we asked for a side of Parmesan that never came... the short rib was a very sloppy dish was not good at all. First and last time at this restaurant I can guarantee you that spent over $200 on drinks and food and we both left hungry.. I will continue supporting other local restaurants on the water and I will definitely spread the word to all my buddies in the community about this experience. read more

Just had a delightful early dinner at the cove. The weather and atmosphere were perfect. We were greeted very timely by Kasey. He was super friendly, attentive, with great humor. Definitely would come to see him again and have the mahi tacos! Hard to find a spot on the water with good Food and great service. read more

Nice place food ok . Ordered apps only to have the entrees come out two minutes later . Calamari and crab cakes over cooked slightly. Espresso martinis had coffee grinds ? Is that something new or just a Florida thing. read more

Food, service and ambience absolutely awesome! Thank you Tess for amazing service. Just a wonderful date night with my hubby.

The perfect place wrapping up 2024 with the girls! We got seated by the balcony right by the water where you can see gorgeous boats passing by. Such a great view! Our food was great as usual! I had tuna nachos, my go to! Love it! I'm coming back! read more

The Cove is located in Deerfield Beach overlooking the intracoastal. It has a huge tiki bar for people wanting to drink and socialize and many tables for a meal. I had seafood linguine that I really enjoyed. It was a nice portion in a fun atmosphere. If you want to have dinner on the water at reasonable price , this is the place to go too. Btw. Lots of parking in the shopping center. read more

Great location and excellent food! Staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. Ample parking and valet parking is available. Beautiful view of the Intracoastal and minutes from the beach. An easy walk after dinner takes only minutes. Dock space is available for your boat or yacht ! read more

The view is what makes it nice. The food was great. Just burgers,but really good burgers. The band was also good. The service was mediocre. But it was fine since we were outside enjoying the beautiful day and watching the boats go by. read more

We've always liked going to the Cove but alas not this time. We were seated immediately in a great area. The weather was perfect and The Cove wasn't that busy, Kasey, our server however, was not very personable. He was neglectful and we had to ask several times for appetizer plates, napkins, water and condiments. He made it seem like it was a bother to him for our requests. We had ordered a couple of appetizers, wings, shrimp and fries. We had to request the fries from a different server. We did ask a special request for our Long Island drinks but that was ignored . The food was very delicious as usual so we will return but we hope Kasey will not be our server or we will leave. Maybe he was having a bad day bit don't take it out on your customers. read more

I had a really nice meal tonight there, I had the Blackened mahi-mahi, which was seasoned and cooked perfectly still moist on the inside.My waitress was nice and friendly compared to the one I had the last time I was there. I had a table right on the intercoastal with a nice breeze, and I was watching all the boats go by. It was pretty crowded, but I got fast service anyway. . read more

This place is fantastic. I wanted to be by the water and have seafood in a place with good vibe. I found this place online and brought my sister with me. The sun was hot and the day was breezy. We found parking right away and it was free. . There were boats docked and they can be seen from the parking lot and the restaurant so the good tropical vibes began right from the beginning. DECOR: I think they have like two standing walls and a roof, everything was opened to the water. It was magical. The front doors were opened and you can see a very wide and long "hall" all the way to the water. I say "hall" because it was completely opened on the right. We got to the hostess stand and we told her that we wanted to sit right on the water and she directed us to the hostess closest to the water. Omg guys, this place is so nice. The breeze and the fans made it very very comfortable, there's also a lot of shade. We were in the intercostal and could see the mansions across, yachts going by, and boats docking right on the restaurant. The place has two large bars. One is free standing right on the water and the other one is more in the center of the restaurant where they have one of those vertical garden walls. FOOD: Very good food. I had a clam chowder and the drunken mussels and it was all very delicious. My sister had fish and chips (I think). I tried a bit of the fish and it was very soft and fresh. We wanted dessert and saw that there was Key West Key Lime Pie. We were skeptical because we both know what the Keys' key lime pie tastes like. Well, it was delicious. A slight degree less of tartness which is great because key lime pies in the Keys are very very strong in flavor. We loved our dessert. It was delicious. SERVICE: It was very good. Our waitress was very nice and good. Visit this place. It's good for friends, family, even a date... just take a scrunchy or hair clip . read more

Food is always delicious. The ambiance is awesome. There's nothing like being waterfront. Unfortunately, tonight the service was pretty much lacking. She seems a bit absent-minded. I'll still go back. But hopefully I will have a different server read more

Wow. They were crowded today. Then it dawned on me it's spring break! The food and service was very good! I had the ribeye which came with some roasted potatoes but as I think about it actually the menu said mashed potatoes. It didn't matter bc I wasn't eating them anyway. I do have to say y veggies had a fishy taste to them which was a bit of a turn off. My daughter had the chicken quesadilla, which she really liked. My mom had a hamburger which she enjoyed also and my cousin had the mahi-mahi blackened entrée, which is also good. He started with spinach and artichoke dip with chips, which was good also. It was a beautiful day. The weather was gorgeous. Perfect lunch. read more

Very nice place in Deerfield bch Directly on intercostal waterways Burgers are very good enjoy the cove read more

The Cove absolutely delivered. Let's talk food, because wow. Everything was super fresh, perfectly cooked, and honestly just hit every time. The menu has great variety, so whether you're in the mood for seafood or something more classic, you're covered. Portions were generous without being ridiculous, and the flavors were on point--not bland, not overdone, just executed really well. You can tell they actually care about quality, not just vibes. On top of that, Olivia at the host stand was amazing--so kind, welcoming, and genuinely made us feel taken care of from the second we walked in. Overall, great food, great service, great experience. This place understood the assignment. read more

Super cute place and loved the live music. However the food was mediocre. I had the Mahi entree, should have came with Coconut rice but because I can't have dairy I had to sub for steamed veggies and a side of French fries. Presentation looks pretty, but the taste was bland and the texture on the fish was very rubbery. Wouldn't recommend. read more

The Cove - Mahi Mahi - Seafood Near Me - Deerfield Beach, Florida

I'm a food guy - so my review is food based. Location and restaurant are very nice. Calamari was the best we experienced on our trip. Everything else was very "touristy". No connection with server. In and out mentality. Mahi mahi was Way over cooked as well as chicken, on my wife's salad. Pass on the $33 lobster roll, great bread no lobster. I understand High volume, but I hope the management focuses on the basics. read more

5 stars! Amazing food, drinks, atmosphere & service! The manager, Tom came by to make sure everything was up to par and we were enjoying ourselves. Such a fun vibe too.. Live music and you cannot beat the fabulous, waterfront view. Get to The Cove, you won't be disappointed! read more

Sat at five pm. No waitress. They're all standing around. Hostess clueless, and says the manager.

Best food we had in Deerfield Beach you really can't beat the ambience of being right on the water and watching boats come and go. The service was good. The nachos were to die for and the fish and chips was very good. The portions are huge at this place so definitely good bang for your buck. Cheapest cocktails in Deerfield beach too read more
