Reviews for Cove Bar & Restaurant in Oakville, ON
The location is just perfect. Very nice patio for summer time. The cocktails are delicious. The food used to be better. I still... enjoy the Gnocchi! Fried mushrooms for appetizer is good. Fresh oysters. Read more
We had high hopes for this place. It was truly underwhelming. When you request for indoor seating, you get shoved to the back of... the restaurant and forgotten about. The indoor seating area was so run down and the vibe was very different. They don’t evenuse cloth napkins, just paper ones. Reservations were at 130pm; we left after 4pm. 2.5 hours for lunch? The service was poor andslow; we were not well attended to. It took forever just get in our drink orders, let alone get the drink itself. The portionsof appetizers were so small and fell on the mediocre side, for such a high price point. Their mains had an option to sub a sidefor ceasar salad, they don’t tell you it’s kale instead of romaine lettuce accompanied with 2.5 pieces of croutons. Theseafood linguine had an overkill of salt; couldn’t cut it down even when you request for lemon. The fish dishes were alright,nothing too impressive. Overall, wouldn’t recommend. Read more
Great location, wonderful view. Nice back patio (although they really need to get rid of those umbrellas, one from across our... table fell straight onto my face, my glasses flew off and left me with a scratch on my face) it could’ve been so muchworse. Cocktails were made beautifully. The vegan food options could have been better. The falafels are extremely dry. Coulduse some homemade tahini and cilantro. The veggie bowl is just okay, definitely could be more creative and flavourful. I thinkI would probably come here just to enjoy some cocktails next time and eat dinner at home. Service was wonderful and we had agreat time. Read more
Great location and atmosphere, unfortunately I was not as amazed with the cuisine. Steer clear of the Fish and chips and... calamari, excessively oily and lacked taste... Will be open to try other items just to give it an honest chance. Read more
The food is nothing to write home about or rather maybe I’ve never ordered the right thing. I saw some people beside me going... hard on the crab legs. Pretty basic. However it is a great spot to have a drink and a small eat. Service is good too. Read more
We were looking for a place by the lake and found this perfect spot for dinner. Our server was good and checked in multiple... times if we needed anything. The food was fine. I particularly like the ma thai cocktail. However its a little pricey. Read more
Although the design and feel of the restaurant is very modern and pleasing to the eye, my party didn't have the greatest time on... our particular visit. We found the service to be quite slow given how busy the restaurant was (?maybe the kitchen was shortstaffed that night; but our server didn't even check in on us much or ask if we wanted refills etc), the food was very hit ormiss (the blackened catfish and deep fried mushroom app was very tasty, but our other dishes weren't very warm by the time itcame out and were so-so) Like I said, maybe our visit was just a one off since there does seem to be many people who haveenjoyed themselves here, but I wouldn't really go out of my way for a revisit Read more
The restaurant has a beautiful location. The waitress was absolutely amazing, kind, patient and checked on us many times. The... food was good and we had a Friday special - fish and chips with a glass of wine which was a steal! Definitely planning to goback soon. Read more
