Reviews for The Cove Restaurant & Oyster Bar in Glen Cove, NY
Beautiful place, first time there, food and vibes was good. It's a nice hideaway
Tasty food BUT Outrageously Horrible service!!! First time we were told first-cum-serve at patio. We were a group of 5 people,... with 2 kids and reached around 6.30 evening 23rd of this month. The restaurant was packed. At patio gate, they outrightedlydenied us they had tables and chairs/spots left. When I looked at her face, I had my doubts so I went and checked and “foundone spot”. And I went and told the service member @patio gate, and she agreed! Imagine we were being turned away even beforechecking for spots!! Anyways we wanted to check out the seafood so we ordered at the patio - first appetizers/ drinks and we hadto wait for it arrive. So it arrived 40-45 mins later! But guess what the waitress gives us no plates/napkins/ glasswares. Wehad to request/wait for another 30 mins just to get 4 plates and just 2 forks!! (No napkins/ no spoons - we were a group offive!!). I had to request 2 separate waiters “twice” to give us one extra plate and some spoons/forks/knives AND napkins!!!to comfortably have the food!! Didn’t see such a horrible service anywhere else, the restaurant does not care about thecustomer’s experience!! And that too never to try it on a special occasion (as it was my birthday I wanted to try seafood) itwas a bad decision to go there. And icing on the cake - the main waitress switched our dinner bill with somebody else’s dinnerbill, glad we checked before paying!! Update- Pretty sure - it’s the same restaurant we went and reviewed so far! Read more
What a nice place. Beautiful setting on the water. Nice, outdoor place during the day, pretty casual. Once the sun goes down, it... gets a bit fancier. Dj and a great outside bar, well lit at night. A fun atmosphere. The hummus and the Shisito peppers are amust have appetizer. The salmon burger is delicious. Drinks are top notch. I had the Spicy Margarita and she had the PinkPalumbo. A great time. Tell 'em Barsnobs sent ya Read more
The food is a bit above average. But the portions are light. They a have very nice, large outside eating area. The service is... only so, so. If you are in your 40s and divorced, you will feel real comfortable here, as it seems like that is the majority ofthe crowd and vibe. It is definitely a bit out of the way though unless you are from the area. Read more
I wouldn't say this is my favorite restaurant.Although the service was quite tactful.But it was not quite excellent, as if... something was missing.For example, the omelet was generally tasteless.But in any case, it's good that I visited this place. Read more
We went for lunch on a weekend and we all had a great time! Food came out good and seafood was fresh! Nice selection of... cocktails and desserts as well. Read more
Only reason I am not giving 5 star because drinks service was slow. But food is great. Amazing fresh oyster. Server attitude... just great. Great wine list. Had an amazing afternoon. Sunset was just priceless. Read more
This place is amazing, the food is great and the vibe is relaxing, wonderful view of the sunset. My girlfriend and I went to... this place when we visited Glen Cove, and we fell in love with the place. The prices are also very reasonable for the quality ofthe food. We were highly impressed by the chef's skills. Read more
