Generally speaking, the food is good and we order a whole lot for our table(s) of 6 including drinks and desserts. The kids meals are a solid value - big portions of chicken strips and fries, and another with a grilled cheese and lots of tater tots. The bougie chicken bacon alfredo mac came on a big ole plate and kid #1 who ordered it, says it is very good. Myself and a friend split a Forester burger -- it comes a side, we chose onion rings, and while the burger is great (caramelized onion and gorgonzola are a fire combination), the onion rings were way overcooked to the point there was almost no onion left in the batter lol (saaaad). Kids # 2 and 3 order happy hour mozzarella sticks, soft pretzels, and panko shrimp. Everything is good according to the children and their limited taste buds. Adults order cocktails which are light on alcohol (sad face) but heavy on delicious flavors! Desserts for 3 kids, everyone says everything is great. Beyond the hollow onion rings, our service was a bit sub-par this time around. Kid #2 spilled his entire drink and while we got some help from the server in the form of bringing more napkins to the table, server girl did nothing about the lake of dr pepper on the floor below it. It was disappointing, not gonna lie. Kids are annoying, I get it, but we had to sit with our shoes in this mess. It dried enough in some spots that our shoes were literally sticking to the ground. Server girl also forgot to put the order in for the panko shrimp sooo kid #2 thought he was being punished because he got his shrimp after everyone else practically finished their meals lol. Our tab was close to 200 bucks. I cringe super hard at the thought of paying half that bill, and tipping fairly, if only because my shoe almost came off my foot when I finally stood up to leave. Dr Pepper almost got me.

I had fish and chips which normally comes with tots, but I requested fries and they were very happy to exchange them. Three good size pieces of cod came with this and plenty of thin perfectly fried french fries. The tartar sauce was delicious. It also came with a small side of coleslaw, which was rather tasteless. My companion had the chicken bahn mi sandwich and thought it was delicious, even though she did remove most of the generous amount of jalapeño slices. They have a decent kids meal menu.

It's separate from the main lodge, completely in it's own building but it is a short stroll from the main lodge. They also have their own parking as well. This is a pretty cool location as you can get a good view of the river where you can sit and chill and admire the Columbia River, any boat traffic there and potential people watching if that's your thing. The Cove is kind of "Tiki Bar Light" as there are elements of a Tiki Bar presence and the lighting as the bar dims and thunder rumbles through the speakers is just like the Old Hangout at the Elks Temple location in Tacoma only there the Tiki vibes pretty heavy. In addition to the Tiki aspect the other blending kind of a fancier fisherman's joint where one can unwind after a day of river fishing. There is outdoor seating and more inside seating from the main bar where you can play pool. There is no secret rooms here but there is a secret door by the main bar to open and experience. The food here is solid as it usually is with most of my McMenamins experiences.
