Giving one star reviews is one of my least favorite things to do but this place absolutely deserves it. It's been a while since I've been to Cove and my last visit roughly 2 years ago was great, however, clearly much has changed since then. Upon arrival we were greeted and seated quickly. That was the last time we were serviced. We sat at our table for 11 mins before receiving water. After another 5 mins I went to the bar to place an order for drinks, since no one returned to our table to greet us or take orders. A server eventually brought over waters but didn't introduce himself as our waiter so we had no clue who was taking our table's orders. After placing the drink orders at the bar and waiting a few more minutes we were told they ran out of ingredients to make our drinks and that's when we decided to leave. read more

We went to Cove Restaurant & Lounge to celebrate my friends' birthdays, and we had a really nice time! We sat in the outdoor area in the back, which was a nice spot to relax, enjoy the atmosphere, and catch up. They were out of a few food and drink items we wanted, but everything we ended up getting was yummy! The shrimp was delicious, and the drinks were good too. The service was friendly, and overall we had a great time celebrating with friends. I'd definitely come back! read more

I pulled up on a calm Thursday evening and to my delight, it was Seafood Thursday.I appreciated the hostess informing us that all food is made to order so we managed our expectations accordingly. I ordered the garlic butter shrimp and crab and let me tell you, it was heavenly! The fritters could'an use little more codfish. I felt like I was eating very well seasoned dough. The drinks were well made and the waitress was attentive and friendly without being too much. My fave part? I could still converse without yelling. A good selection was playing at a respectable volume. I would def return. read more

So I finally found a nice sit down West Indian restaurant in Queens ! If you are from Queens and remember landmarks , this spot is near where the Cross Island Diner used to be . It's on 243rd and Merrick Blvd . Q5 bus goes there as well . The name of the spot is The Cove . It's loud , with a DJ playing your favorite tunes and it was definitely a vibe ! Seating is for 90 minutes ( though we went over and they didn't kick us out ) . Service was great ( though difficult to hear and was screaming to waiters because the music was loud ) . The drinks were good ! I had a Cove Rum Punch . As an appetizer, We shared Codfish Fritters that were good though a bit doughy. We also had Escovitch shrimp that Was amazing . The oxtail Rasta pasta was excellent and the oxtails are on the bones . My bestie had oxtail with rice and peas ( they are made with coconut and coconut milk) We were celebrating a birthday and they sang happy birthday and brought out a slice of cheesecake . The spot has street parking and a cool bar . It's reasonably priced and the big portion mean food to take home . There are several spots to pose for pictures . I didn't know they take them and the price is $20 a photo. You can decline but I actually brought mine . I would definitely go back . read more

Lets talk about Cove. We went there about 7pm on a Saturday night. It was quite but the ambiance kept us entertained. We turned it into a photoshoot moment. It got busy as the night went by like around 8/9pm. Ok, lets talk about the drinks and food. The snapper in coconut sauce was on point. The seasoning touched my soul. Wait, the appetizers like calamari and cod fish fritters started the night. They were delicious. The drinks were definitely a hit. There's more, I even had the chicken soup which was so tasty. I tried my friend's oxtail and it was well seasoned and tender. Cove Restaurant is definitely a spot to try. Oh yeah, the music had us moving too. Great time indeed. read more

The restaurant is cute. It is small but the decor is lovely so I was excited to try it out. My friend and I came here for weekend brunch. The drinks were served in a carafe and they were pretty good. I had the ackee and salt fish on fried green plantain appetizer and it was good. I ordered the shrimp and grits, which was also good. My friend had the chicken and waffles. She said it was okay but pretty basic, it didn't wow her. Now let's talk about the service. The service was terrible. It took an hour just to get a drink. My friend and I literally sat and talked with each other for an hour before we were served anything we ordered. That's insane to me, especially because our reservation was early (maybe 30 minutes after opening). The place wasn't crowded. We weren't even notified if something was going on to cause the delay of service. It was like our time wasn't valuable and the delay wasn't addressed. It was like we were just expected to wait. Hopefully they have improved since my visit, but my experience didn't warrant a return visit. read more

Overall terrible experience. To start the restaurant itself was nice, ambiance was lovely. The bathroom was clean. However, the dining area not so much, there were straw wrappers from the previous night at our table. We went for Sunday afternoon brunch and the restaurant opened late even though we had a reservation for 1. After a delayed start it took over an hour for our food to arrive once ordered. Waiters were nice, but service was quite slow. To make matters worse, both of us got food poisoning afterward. Extremely disappointing service and quality would not recommend. read more

Cove restaurant was vibes from beginning to end. The music was good, the service was good and the food was great. I had a great experience here. I had a rum punch for my drink , this was strong and sweet. Then I had fritters for my appetizer. The fritters were delicious. For my entree I had grilled lobster and rice and beans. Everything I ate was delicious and I have no complaints. My friends ordered mussels , pasta and kreyol shrimp which they stated they enjoyed. If you are looking for a Caribbean restaurant with good food I'd recommend this place . read more

I haven't visited this popular Caribbean restaurant in years. I am so glad that it is still open and serving great food with an amazing wait staff. I didn't have to wait long for my order and ate at the bar and watch some sports. It was a much needed "appreciating the atmosphere." The food was delicious l, the drink was strong but sweet which I love, & reasonably priced. Will visit again soon read more

I've been coming here since it was called Island Taste, back when it was on the corner before Social Corner--over 10 years ago. The restaurant has gone through two makeovers since then. The ambiance is modern and inviting, perfect for taking pictures. The food and drinks have always been consistently great. I've tried almost everything on the menu: oxtails, curry goat, soup, Rasta pasta, Escovitch fish sticks, salt fish cakes--you name it. They never disappoint. The rum punch is also a must-try. That said, one thing they need to work on is hiring more staff or improving training. Unless I'm sitting at the bar, I always end up having to wave down a waiter or waitress for service, and honestly, it's been like this for years. Other than that, Cove is a great spot to visit. The music is more mellow now, which gives it more of a restaurant vibe compared to the party scene it used to have. Overall, it's a solid choice for dining and drinks. read more

Cove - Curry shrimp with rice and peas. - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Queens, New York

05/19/23: People..People.. yuh want good food, yuh want nice Viiiiibes..strong drinks and value for your money. Make way to Cove. This has been on my list so when I got the text from my BPIC (belly partner in crime) he wants to play and his truck is involved..Cove was my first choice. Upon entering we were seated almost immediately. It's not very large but the design and esthetics has it feeling larger than it is and tables are spaced such as you are not cramped among your fellow patrons. The floral decor from the entrance to the inside definitely gives it IG worthy pics. I love the cushioned dining chairs. I will say it took a minute for a server, we had to flag someone down to place our orders. But once we got our waitstaff it was all up steam from there. She was friendly and engaging and I loved how patient and attentive she was to my friends mother. Drinks: Cove Rum Punch.. mek I tell you Wray n his Nephew showed up and showed out in that drink! One thing he beat rum punch I had in a while. Appetizers: Cove Shrimp: The accuracy of their description: right blend of escovitch and sweet and sour sauce. Can you deliciousness. . The attack on my tastebuds, I surrender. Steamed Mussels in their special sauce. The creamy sauce just the right thickness, the seasoning they all blended perfectly. Cod Fish Fritters; bit doughy, need more salt fish but other wise good. However, mix it with some of the sauce from the cove shrimp or the mussel sauce.. yes a little moan may escape your lips. Main Cove Rasta Pasta with oxtail. Penne pasta in light creamy sauce well seasoned and not to mention very hot and in heat. Oxtail also well seasoned and tasty. It didn't fall off the bone as I've had in other places but it was still yummy. Curried Shrimp: When this dish arrived we looked at each like ummm why is it red and not the yellow color of curry we are used to. But once you bit into the shrimp it definitely was curry and flavorful. Psssst...we received a side order of Plantain.. wait for for it... FOR FREE. As I'm writing I just realized I didn't take a pic. Folks they were plumped, sweet, not overly greasy and done just right. Side note: while having drinks and waiting in food I asked one of the staff when is the reggae music segment.. I mean you are in a Caribbean restaurant I need my tunes. Sure enough few minutes later the RnB was replaced with reggae not saying it's because of me but hey.. ask you shall received! I guess because I was constantly singing and chair dancing various staff members stopped and asked am I enjoying the music. Ole school dancehall what's not to love. Lastly we had cheesecake with strawberry jam. It wasn't the best I've had but it was decent and enjoyable. Cove is definitely a place for a more upscale carribean dining, date night, celebration as I saw all of these elements during my dining experience. From the large portion size of the meals, strong drinks, pleasant staff and viiiibes. Cove definitely checks the win column! Note: gratuity is auto added and CC fee. read more

A group of 8 of us headed here for an early dinner on Saturday. We had reservations for 6 but arrived at 5:30pm and was seated immediately. We were offered the option of indoor or outdoor but it was wayy too hot for outdoor so we had to pass even though some of our party wanted to do hookah, which they only offer outdoor. Stephan P was our waiter. He had good customer service and was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu items. The food pretty much matched the price and portion. Everyone pretty much ordered the rum punch while I ordered the tropical margarita. They all said the rum punch was good and strong and ordered seconds. The tropical margarita was okay, flavor was good but that's it. We ordered a variety of appetizers: mango habanero and jerk wings, codfish fritters, cove shrimp, mussels, and crab cake. The wings were very underwhelming! Like the inside of the wings had ZERO flavor, just the sauce coated on the outside. The mussels were SOO good, just wish it was more, the codfish fritters were good and big portion, and the crab cakes were good. For entrees: we had curry goat with white rice and steamed veggies, grilled lobster tails (MP $45) with a side of rasta pasta, curry goat and roti, steamed snapper, oxtail with rice and peas, curry shrimp, and oxtail with Rasta pasta. The only complaint I heard about the food was that the Rasta pasta was just spicy with no flavor. I would go back and also recommend here. read more

I'm not sure why this place doesn't have 5 stars. Cove was previously known as Island Taste. Still has the same owner and the same chef. But, they got a face lift. Island taste was cool before, but Cove is beautiful and sleek. Definitely picturesque! They no longer have the nightclub hrs I came on a Thursday night after work. I missed happy hour (Monday- Friday 4pm to 7pm). But, was informed that it was seafood night. They had specials on dishes containing crab leg clusters, lobster, mussels, etc. (every Thursday). Rum punch: perfect mix. Our bartender who's name I can't recall was so funny and personable. She's great and made recommendations. Tried the jerk shrimp which were large, juicy, and flavorful. Would've loved a nice little pan sear, but was still good snapper coconut sauce was large and amazing. I normally have escovitch snapper and wanted to try this. Perfect recommendation from the bartender. My friend had the oxtail= 8 out of 10 rating. It was good but not the best. Finished up with a blowjob shot which I failed at drinking lol Overall, I'd come again. Need to try brunch and come many times for dinner and happy hour. I miss island tastes after hours. But, social corner is open late (on the same street down the block) and has the same owner. They are opened later and also have hookah for those who are interested. read more

Went to Cove to celebrate a birthday. We got there a little late, and they wouldn't sit the group until the full party arrived, so they ended up giving the table away. We had to wait a hour 1/2 to be seated. The space is small and they were busy. The food and drinks were good. I had rum punch which was strong but sweet. The food was good. We each had a different appetizer and each was really good. As the main dish I had the grilled chicken Rasta pasta, which was also tasty. read more

The decor is great for pictures if you're celebrating a birthday or another special occasion. There is also a bar and a place in the back for larger parties. Keep in mind, the music was loud and the lighting is very low. For drinks, we had the lychee martini Moscato. The drinks were pretty decent and the menu had a good selection overall. Our waiter was nice but seemed to have a lot of tables so the appetizers we ordered never came and service was slow. For food, we ordered the grilled salmon with a butter topping, pasta and fish. The food was properly portioned and the plantains on the side were nice and sweet. They even brought out a cake for my mom's birthday. Overall, I would write this experience an 8 out of 10. read more

I've been hearing about this spot for awhile and was finally able to check it out for a friend's birthday celebration The restaurant was packed when we arrived and packed when we left. The staff were very welcoming and attentive to our group of five, especially the birthday girl. We had to wait for our entire party to arrive and we were seated in the back area that held two large tables for large groups and their set up was cool and semi private. For drinks, three friends ordered 2 rounds of regular rum punches and I had ONE coco rum punch. My drink was good and not strong which I was grateful for because I'm a lightweight drinker. We all ordered one appetizer each and everyone had a seafood app and I had the mango spicy wings. For entrees, we had salmon, snapper, shrimp and I had the chicken rasta pasta. We all agreed the food was delicious. Customer service was excellent and the staff was very attentive and accommodating to our group. I will definitely return to check out some other menu items. read more

I remember this place being called "Island taste " I came here like 3 times and idk why they change the name, but it seems to still have the same owners. We came here for my friend bday, reservations for 6 The set up is completely different, a lil bit more chic They took about 20 mins to address us, I kept asking for our server, even our drinks took forever to get to us..the wait was just unbearable, 1 hour into our wait our server brought us some complimentary appetizers to hold us up. Also for some odd reason, they had no hookah the day we went The menu had a variety of good food. The music was good When our food finally came, it was very good. Everyone did love what they had Overall I think it's a hit or miss, it depends when you get there lol read more

A decent neighborhood spot to check out. I came here on a Thursday evening with a party of 6. It was pretty empty at 5pm which was great. We ordered a few drinks, the escovitch wings, calamari, fries, chicken roti, the salmon and snapper. Pros: the decor is really nice and I really enjoyed the music. It was mostly rnb music from the 90s. The hostess who was also the waitress was very pleasant as well. Cons: I had the coco rum punch and mango martini. Both drinks were just okay. The rum punch honestly had a weird aftertaste and the mango martini just tasted like mango purée juice. They don't really do cocktails but rather simple drinks. The wait time from ordering to getting our entrees was an hour. Granted we did have a couple of appetizers and we were a party of 6 but 2 of them were kids that shared an appetizer. When we ordered, there was only 3 other tables and 2 people at the bar so it wasn't as if they were busy. You could see other tables getting slightly frustrated as well. The excuse was that everything is fresh and from scratch but as my sister pointed out, don't most restaurants do the same?? The food wasn't bad but it also wasn't worth the wait in my opinion. The calamari honestly was the best part. My roti didn't have much flavor and my mom said her fish was just ok as well. Overall: It's a decent neighborhood restaurant. I personally wouldn't come back unless they've managed to figure out staffing and adjust their recipes a bit. The prices of the food are a bit on the high side as well and I couldn't figure out how they justified it. I'm all for supporting neighborhood businesses but when it's and overall good experience. Maybe I'd possibly come back for a drink, however that would be because I'm desperate for a drink but unwilling to drive to a place I know I'd actually enjoy it read more

Brunch ends at 5:00pm and dinner doesn't start until 6:30pm. I went for brunch. There is a prefix menu for $50 which comes with a salad, an appetizer, and a main course with your choice of mimosa or rum punch. The shrimp and grits were delicious and so filling. The mimosa was pretty good as well. They play a mix of throw back r&b and reggae. The waiter was friendly and attended to our needs. I would definitely come back here to try their other dishes as I initially wanted curry chicken but they had ran out. read more

Food is very flavorful and portions are decent. Music is a bit too loud for clear conversations with your company and even wait staff.

I know that the reviews are a mixed bag but both times that I have been to the Cove have been great experiences! I went with a large party of 25+ the first time and then in a small group of two girls the second time. The food was plentiful and you'll be able to take your leftovers home for work the next day lol plus the food is really good. I was told that the rum punch was strong and the coconut rum punch wasn't too tasty our table also tried the strawberry margaritas which were rated a 10/10 by the table ! I had a strawberry lemonade and Rasta pasta which was really good and definitely 2 servings worth of food . The service was great, the waiters were patient and attentive. We went around 7/8 pm. Now the reason I rated this restaurant 4/5 stars is because towards the end of the night ( 8-10pm )the service tends to slow down. The bill and our last drink took significantly longer to come to our table so I can definitely understand the reviews that complain about slow service. My tip is to come earlier in the night especially on busy days like the weekends. read more

I was here in April for my nieces birthday, but the food was so good I actually went back a few weeks ago. I love me a good crab cake so that did not disappoint whatsoever.

Happy hour is 4-7pm with half off appetizers and reduced prices for some drinks. My friend and I both ordered mango martinis. 8$ each and pretty sweet. I could taste the liquor as I got to the end of the drink. We ordered 4 appetizers to split. The crab cake appetizer was $10.zzz half off but they only served one crab cake. Pictures on Yelp/website show the crab cake order as 2. Don't advertise it as a happy hour special when you're only getting half the order. You couldn't charge $20 for one. Aside from that it was really good. The sauce with it was spicy and delicious and the crab cake it self had really good flavor. The Mussels were $10. It was about 10 mussels. They were a nice size and meaty. The sauce they came in was creamy and delicious. Tasted like it maybe had mushroom in it. Really good. I wanted to drink it lol The jerk shrimp was $10. The order had about 6 shrimp. Medium sizes not huge. The jerk sauce was good. We asked for some hot sauce and it was really peppery. Nice addition to the jerk. The Fried calamari was about $10 I think as well. Nice crunch on it. Tasted good and seasoned but the sauce was really cold. Like not warm AT all and that wasn't pleasant. It was probably the least favorite dish we had. Not bad calamari but the sauce being freezing like that (and we asked for extra sauce) was too cold to even really enjoy. The red velvet slice was so yumm. $10 They drizzled chocolate and caramel sauce on it, which was unexpected but good. The frosting was a little overly sweet but the cake was cold and yummy. We were very pleased with the food and desserts but service really wasn't great. Our server was brand new and she did apologize and try to redeem herself with banter and casual chat which was cool. I was more annoyed with arriving for happy hour and waiting half hour before drinks came out. Other people came and sat about 2 tables from us and were seated and served drinks and food ALL before we even had our drinks. It was strange. I wasn't upset with our server, but knowing she's new you'd think that a coworker might tell her to go to us or check in. I had to ask for our waitress to order food and even later on to order dessert. There is a slight up charge if you pay by credit card. Also the gentlemen waiting to clear our plates were also annoying. If I'm still licking up hot sauce off the plate I'm obviously not finished with it. The table was small and we did order 4 apps and ask for the little serving plates but still. They could have cleared the empty ones without asking if we were done with plates that we were still eating on. Also having to ask for someone to bring water was annoying. They knew we didn't have drinks. Bring us something. The candle on the table kept going out. They were showing some show on tv and Some people were very much having sex and the employees were kind of standing around and watching. It was strange. Not even a goodnight as we walked out. I really want to frequent more establishments in the area and see Merrick blvd flourish and keep up with other bar/restaurant areas like Bell or Steinway but the service in our community needs to be better. I'd come back and give them another try. Hopefully they'd be more attentive where it counts next time. read more

Ok so I decided to check out this restaurant after seeing a couple positive reviews On ig reels & here on Yelp. First attempt in coming here, I didn't have a reservation & wasn't able to be seated for me & my bf. Hostess claimed that they were trying to push brunch out the way & that I could be seated at the bar but dinner wouldn't be served for a whole another hour & 30 mins. I thought that was preposterous so I just left. So this time around I had a reservation for brunch around 3. Me & my party were seated but didn't have a waiter come to our attention till like 20 mins later. No water was brought to our table. I've noticed that attentiveness & service was a problem here & I couldn't agree more. They def need to work on that more. I saw parties arrive 25 mins after me & still weren't attended to. One group even left lol. Now down to the food & drinks... food was ok could be better. I found the oxtail to be a lil tough & could've spent more time in the pressure cooker. Lacked some flavor, I had better. Plus it was cold, I only received like 4 pieces of meat on a bed of grits. I saw another party order oxtails & theirs came out fresh & steaming hot. The ackee & saltfish was the star! It was really good. Me & my bf came for brunch & they have a prefixed menu starting @ $45.99 pp. that comes w/ bottomless mimosas appetizer, & entree. No part of that this was bottomless me & my partner only received 1 glass of mimosa to the point we had to order reg cocktail drinks. Those were also watered down, had not one ounce of liquor. It literally tasted like juice. I hate to tarnish a black owned business but guys the service has to be better including the food. Not too mention we received our appetizer after we finished our entree meal the waiter didn't even know which table to bring it too. He handed it over to a diff table.. after I realized we never were given our appetizers which should be served first b4 our meal. I waved at the waiter & notified him that the appetizer should be ours. This was a whole 45 mins after our entree was given to us. Smh. Well this is all I have to say... you guys can come it out at your own risk.. don't rely on these social media posts. Oh & they got hookah too read more

Mediocre food. Slow and poor service. Ok ambiance. Overpriced for quality. We were seated right away. Came on Saturday night and still a few open tables. We ordered jerk wings, which took forever to come out. When it did come out, it was cold and dry. The sauce was good though. It was 6 wings for $14. We ordered rum punch which we never received. Mains: curry goat and white rice which was mediocre. Oxtail Rasta pasta was mediocre as well. The oxtail didn't have much flavor and I bit into a big piece of ginger which ruined my taste buds. The pasta was very soupy and creamy. The entrees were $33-$35. Ambiance: regular. Lights are on. had to request the TV to be turned on. Music was just okay. No real vibes to be excited about. Service: poor & slow. Had 3 different "waiters." No one came to ask if I everything was okay. Overall, disappointed and won't return. read more

My mom raves of this place so I thought I would go with her to give it a try. Pros: We were seated right away on a busy Saturday night so we were extremely grateful for that. Our food was tasty and the give a decent portion of it! The decor was beautiful and their sofas to sit on were extremely comfortable. Cons: Not matter how good the food and decor was, it couldn't disguise how poor the service really is. Took a minimum of 30 minutes just to receive our drinks from the bar that was right across from our table and at best they were just okay. Our food took another 45 minutes to come out. The waitress barely checked up on us and I was thirsty throughout the bulk of my meal. To top it all off they were all out of oxtail which really sucks because that's what the entire table was going to order. So would I return? Probably, if I happen to be in the area. read more

Came here with a group of 5 girls for dinner on a Thursday night. I've previously come here for happy hour but wanted to experience the full dine in service. Our waitress was sweet and funny ( wish I remembered her name) The drinks here are strong and really good. Amongst us all, we enjoyed the rum punch, lemon drop martini, and flavored margarita. The bartender did not go light. We ordered the cod fish fritters, calamari, and escovitch wings for our appetizer. All 5/5. Dinner included oxtail, rice and peas, mixed veg, and plantains. The food was flavored, an ok portion for the oxtail at least, and fresh. Everyone seemed to enjoy their meal. The one downside I would say is the price point. I do think the restaurant is just a tad too expensive. That though wouldn't be enough for me not to return. read more

New restaurant, super pretty decor and definitely good for a photo op. Went there for brunch with a party of 13 and service was pretty bad. Some people got their entrees without their appetizer. Some people didn't get glasses for the champagne. Food was average - I got a garden salad and the chicken and waffles. The waffle was actually pretty good but the chicken was really dry. I had to cover it in hot sauce. Overall, I probably wouldn't go back read more

Decided to go here on date night, and I'm not going to lie, the reviews weren't looking too good on this place. Parking wasn't so easy but we found some. We were immediately seated but I asked if we could be reseated and the hostess (not sure if she was having a bad day or not) seemed to have an attitude and told me it wasn't possible due to the seat I wanted being for 6 people. I told her cool no problem and waited to be served. The spacing is SMALL. The first thing I noticed was how small the table was. I eventually ordered the Codfish Fritters,Oxtail Rasta Pasta and, rum punch. That food is GOOD. The service might be touch and go, but the food is REALLY good! The portions are huge as well so your definitely getting what you pay for. The place also gets packed very fast, so a reservation is definitely needed to be made. read more
