    Fattore salad, excellent!
    Jessica H.

    Penne Calabrese was delicious, as well as the fruttore salad. Limoncello spritzer and aeperol spritz were great refreshing drinks. Excellent service from female server and 2 males behind the bar on night of 1/27/26! Need hooks underneath the bar pls & a Sauvignon blanc on the menu :)

    Stopped here for a nightcap. Tried the creamy expresso Martini. Josh the bartender made our drinks. The flavor was really good. You can order food from Spuntino Pizza which is attached to this bar. We tried the calamari - unfortunately it lacked flavor and I wished that it was more golden brown. The portion was pretty small for the price. But one person in our party enjoyed it! There is a good amount of seating at the long bar, as well as multiple high top tables for two. We didn't try any food but it looked good (based on what others ordered.) Friendly bartenders too. Bartender Tay was very pleasant. There is also a patio in front if you would like to chill. She introduced herself and made sure we were good & even stopped to chat with us a bit. Friendly vibes. I would recommend.

    Always a great experience! Our favorite place to go! Kudos to Dan, Mike, Brooke...and the list goes on. Everyone treats us like family! Love the vibe!

    Favorite spot to stop in for a casual drink or dinner. We came here on the recommendation of Cole from Lorenzi winery, and it did not disappoint. We ordered a large sausage & mushroom pizza with artichokes on half, and it was delicious. Crust was soft and wonderful, nothing too heavy. Took some slices home to enjoy tomorrow. They have a great full bar and all the Cocktails and martinis looked amazing. They also have a great wine list, and we got a bottle of their own Sangiovese for $46 which was wonderful. Absolutely recommend, and we will definitely be back! Can't forget our amazing servers, Todd and Nathan - fabulous, and we met the nicest local guy sitting at the bar. Great experience!

    Customer service was amazing! Our bartenders Matthew and Wesley did amazing. They were very attentive and made great drinks!! These boys deserve a raise!! Can't wait to come back

    Terrible service. The manager couldn't have cared less that our food didn't arrive on time or together. Most of the wait staff ignored us. My dish arrived well after the rest of our group and obliviously was sitting around for a long time. Frankly I believe they all could have cared less that we were there. Do yourself a favor and dine elsewhere. Very disappointed. Do better Bar Nextdoor to Nowhere.

This is an Irish pub and the ambiance transports you to one. I arrived on 8/10/26 right at 6 pm. I know this because I just missed putting in a happy hour order. I started filling out my burger selection and by the time the waitress came I handed it over, which was between 605 and 610. I didn't want a drink because I had schoolwork to do but ordered a lavender martini which was really yummy. Ok well by no fault of the waiter it's now 6:45 pm and I'm still waiting on my food. The bar was crowded and has emptied out yet I'm still waiting on a medium burger & fries. 40 minutes is really unacceptable. I hate to be that person that tips crappy but the service here is beyond slow. Not sure if the cook is that slow or they need a bigger grill. FYI I ended up tipping 18% but nothing extra. So much for a quick bite. Will I return yes, I'll just be prepared to wait.

They were also out of Miller Lite that was listed on the happy hour menu. Food is meh, I'd rather just drink there, but unlikely to return. Restaurants typically have one chance between a one-time visit and repeat customers...our party of 4 agreed we're unlikely to ever go back.

What keeps me coming back is the feeling of home you get when you're here. The tortellini, ahi tuna, and other offerings go far beyond the typical greasy bar food. There's genuinely something for everyone, and the quality continues to impress. The recent changes to the interior, while not extensive, have made a noticeable improvement to the overall atmosphere and experience. But what truly sets The Cove apart is the staff. They are amazing, even when the place is busy, and especially when dealing with difficult customers who sometimes fail to treat them like human beings and instead act as though they're servants--and sadly, sometimes worse. The restraint, patience, and professionalism the staff show in those situations should be recognized and rewarded. They are a huge part of what makes The Cove special and, ultimately, what keeps people coming back. One person who stands out, among a staff full of genuinely caring people, is Savannah. The staff at The Cove remember your name, remember what you like, and make you feel like more than just another customer. Savannah embodies that perfectly. She always greets everyone who walks through the door with a warm welcome and a thousand-watt smile. Even when she's extremely busy, Savannah takes the time to make each person or group feel special and appreciated. She genuinely cares about the customer experience, and you can see it in the way she interacts with everyone. People like Savannah are what turn a place from somewhere you go to eat or watch a game into somewhere that feels like home. We all have countless choices when deciding where to spend our hard-earned money, and the people who make you feel welcome are what make that choice easy. Steelers football may have been what brought me through the door, but the people and the feeling of home are what keep me coming back.

Funny the reason we chose this spot was because the food looked so good on yelp. Once we got our food I knew he wasn't lying. I got the Cuban and my friend got the Cesar wrap, both were great. We sat outside to enjoy the weather on the spacious patio. We never had to get up for a thing. We were well taken care of, our beers refilled and plates cleaned up. I would love to come back and try more of the food.

    Came here Friday around 8:00 PM and sat at the outdoor corner bar…read more The Good: The beer was great, from the blonde ale to the local IPAs. Once our order was finally placed, the food arrived fairly quickly. Everything looked excellent, with great presentation and generous portions for the price. The loaded nachos were outstanding--perfectly balanced with cheese, shredded beef, and all the other toppings. You could tell the ingredients were high quality. The EB Burger also looked great. For a $20 burger, looked promising and came with a generous serving of crispy fries and a large pickle spear. Although it arrived closer to well-done than the rare temperature I ordered, it was still tasty. The Not So Good: The restaurant was not particularly busy, yet it took quite a while to get served. We were only able to place our initial drink order after repeatedly trying to get the bartender's attention. Unfortunately, this became the theme of the evening. Even though guests around us appeared to be receiving regular service, we often felt invisible. When we finally got the bartender's attention to order beers, she hurried away before we could place our food order. It took additional time and more attempts to flag her down before we could order dinner. When the burger arrived overcooked, I couldn't even mention it because our server never checked on us or asked how the food was. Throughout the evening, I had to flag down other staff members just to request another beer or refill our water. Our server/bartender finally acknowledged the issue only after we spoke with another staff member about both the overcooked burger and the lack of service. To her credit, she offered to comp the burger. I initially declined but later accepted because it was nowhere near the temperature I had ordered. Despite the disappointing service, I still left a standard tip. I also told her it was a shame because we live right around the corner and had been excited to try this place. We were hoping it could become our regular Friday-night spot and somewhere we could bring friends and neighbors who enjoy good food and drinks. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I don't think we'll be coming back.
