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.

The Cove Restaurant. 243rd and Merrick Blvd.

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 .

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.

Ackee and salt fish on fried green plantain

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.

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 .

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

Always a great time here...Get that RUM PUNCH...service is always great. Music will have you dancing in your seat....

Curry shrimp with rice and peas.

Good local neighborhood spot. Appetizers and cocktails are always great. Good vibes and music.

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.

Mussels in cream sauce 10/10

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.

Oxtail

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.

Rum punch

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.

Rasta pasta
Shawna E.

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.

Rum Punch!!!

Between the individuals in our party, we ordered calamari, thai curry mussels, red red snapper with the sweet, spicy sauce and without, lamb chops and six boss. The lamb chops were a tad overcooked, but the rest of the food was really good Our drinks were nice. Service was a tad slow, but good experience overall.

Everything is consistently flavorful, fresh, and cooked with love. It's honestly become one of our go to spots because we know exactly what we're getting every single time. In my previous review, I mentioned a less than stellar experience. Looking back, maybe they were just having an off day or maybe I got the pot bottom. Whatever the reason, they've been nothing short of amazing ever since. Whether they changed chefs or tightened things up, whatever you're doing... DON'T CHANGE NADA! And I have to give an honorary shout out to Desrene, one of the wonderful team members who takes the takeout orders. She is ALWAYS pleasant, professional, and genuinely kind. It honestly brightens my day whenever I hear her voice on the other end of the phone.

The basic channa double with tamarind sauce and mango chutney was so soft and perfectly sweet and tangy. The oxtail and goat curry were also good, but the channa was far superior---which says a lot since I love meat. I like the softer texture of doubles more than the thicker aloo pie and thinner/dryer roti. And considering how affordable every item is, I would definitely come back if I am around the area!

The kiosk is good because it easily shows all the sauces you may add to your doubles and the variety of other things like drinks, etc you may order. There is also the option to get in line and place your oder. You can watch the assembly line of workers quickly making food. Then check out with the cashier. They sell lots of different cakes, breads, nuts, and drinks too. I was a little overwhelmed on what to order, but a nice employee helped me out. I showed him what I was trying to order and asked for suggestions. Thanks to him I had the best doubles! Added tamarind sauce, mango chutney, and the benny sauce. The perfect vegetarian meal for $2.50! It is made of roti (flatbread), curried chickpeas, and topped with the sauces. Then rolled up to make a sandwich. So flavorful! I wasn't too sure which drink to get as I wasn't sure what they all tasted like. Chose the Seamoss drink, which is a mix of milk, seams, nutmeg, and some spices. Milky and not overly sweet. This was good. Maybe next time I'll get sorrel, which is hibiscus. They said the peanut drink is good too. Ordered Pholourie with tamarind sauce. These are fried savory dough balls. I couldn't resist getting a sweet treat. So, I randomly picked the salara bread, which looks like a cinnamon swirl bread slice. It is actually stuffed with shredded coconut that is colored red and tastes like cherry. Pretty good and not overly sweet. Definitely add this place to your list of eats in Queens. It is a trek from the city, but so good! Also, nice that it is a little bit away from the loud busy part of Liberty Ave in Richmond Hill. This is about a 15-20 min walk from there on Lefferts Blvd. Restroom available.

The Datiles were satisfyingly sweet and chewy, with crispy flavorful bacon and crunchy almond. The Cappuccino was smooth, creamy, and strong. I also had the El Camino mocktail, which was made with ginger beer & pineapple. This was light and refreshing. Also got to try the Garlic Shrimp ($19), Pan Tumaca ($7 - bread with grated tomato). Garlic Shrimp came in a tasty savory olive oil sauce containing garlic, hot pepper, and parsley. Shrimp was succulent and juicy. I did not enjoy the Pan Tumaca, which was toasted rustic bread topped with grated tomato, olive oil, and garlic. The bread was stale and hard, while the tomato was quite bland. For the entree, I shared the Steak with Fries ($35). The dish comprised of Hangar Steak, which was sliced into pieces and served medium (though I asked for medium well). While the Steak was bold in flavor, it was not tender enough and on the dry side. Fries were delightfully crispy and addicting with true potato taste. Service was decent. Our waitress was welcoming and knowledgeable about the menu. Despite the place being very busy, everything came out in a timely manner and we were well attended to throughout our time here. Prices were reasonable, ranging from $7-25 for tapas, and around $26-35 for large plates.
