Went back again after friends mentioned coming here recently and we thought we'd give it another…read moretry. Glad we did! Went on a busy Friday night, and even though the parking lot and tables were full, they seated us quickly. We skipped the appetizers and ordered entrees and drinks. I had the grouper special and my hubby had the fried chicken. The grouper didn't come with any tartar sauce, but it needed a little extra sauce, still very good. Service was very good. We will be back

Always a favorite spot and a sure thing for a good quality meal…read more Not sure if they have a new cook, if they're cheapening their ingredients or if their supplier is cheapening things. Meal was good but we're accustomed to greatness from this restaurant. New Orleans cavatappi pasta has always pushed the limits on spicy but today it fell short. Le sigh Generous portion of walleye as usual but the sauce just came up flat. Added table salt which helps but adds a layer of unrefined flavor teasing the mind and leaving us to wonder why do we have to salt our food today? Sweet potato comes with cinnamon brown sugar butter didn't let the server tell you it's just brown sugar butter. Featured soup was Hungarian mushroom. Not sure what makes it Hungarian and the server didn't know either. ‍ We liked our meal but we didn't LOVE it like we usually do. Perhaps it was just an off day. We'll try again. Please don't let this restaurant slide down past return. It's one of the few we know we can get a high quality meal out of.

September 2026 update. We had another great meal at the…read moreCove last night with friends. It was a beautiful night so we sat on the deck at sunset. The atmosphere is exceptional. We enjoyed some mocktails to start which were delicious. Then the crabcakes and calamari started us off. Everybody loved both and we cleaned the plate! For dinner, two of us had the Michigan Whitefish, one had the Salmon and one had the Quinoa Burger. The Whitefish and Quinoa Burger were excellent. The Salmon was OK just a little dry and overcooked. We thoroughly enjoyed the night. And we will definitely come back again.

While visiting family in Michigan over a holiday weekend recently someone in our group had a…read morecraving for cheesecake. Apparently The Cove has a reputation for having great cheesecake so we made a special stop just for that. A lot of the menu items looked enticing and the view along the water was quite pleasant so we ended up ordering some other desserts including the chocolate mousse cake along with some other food and drinks too. Two of us had the Boozy Root Beer Float, I had the Sunset Sangria with a burger and Caesar salad. Next time I would like to try the crab cakes. Our waitress was friendly and making jokes. We enjoyed the atmosphere and even seeing a couple of swans with their babies pass us by.

After reading all the great reviews we went in for breakfast this week. Those reviews are…read morecorrect...great food, great service and reasonable prices. We eat out a lot so have many comparisons...every restaurant shines in different ways but this one seems to have it all. Sauces made from scratch and everything fresh. Family owned and operated so they understand the value of customer service. We'll go back....and back. Well it's two years later and my review is still good. We eat there once a week for sure and sometimes twice. We do eat elsewhere and there are other good restaurants but as I noted above.... for great food, great service and reasonable prices, this is the place. Deb, Jake and the rest of the crew will treat you right. If you love eggs Benedict as I do, then you must try theirs. Homemade hollandaise sauce!

The people who work there are very welcoming even for people new to town like us. We were waited on by Jake and you can tell that he really likes his job. The food is really good. I would highly recommend the eggs Benedict, French toast, pancakes and Judy's hash. Also, they have a ridiculous selection of hot sauces if that's what you're into. Ask them to bring out a few and try different ones. The habenero garlic one really has a kick but tastes great.
