    First time at this location. We were under the impression there was dancing, as it was advertised having a dj and ads with people dancing had us wanting to take the ride and try. Beautiful ambiance and setting. Music was killer but to our surprise no dance floor space! Waiter took our drink orders, 15mins later our drinks came and we ordered bread for our app as well as our entrees at that time. Literally 8 mins max later our appetizer and entrees were put down in front of us…didn’t even have time to enjoy our drink. Was surprised our appetizer came with the entree. We felt very rushed! Waiter never came back to check on us. The flow of food was extremely disappointing. We like to take our time and soak in the whole experience, a night out isn’t cheap! After we ate we waited and waited…finally our waiter came back and we ordered another drink. He left the dessert menu but after he dropped our second drink we didn’t see him again. Eventually had to track him down to get our bill. Did notice what appeared to be regulars getting actual service and attention, very upsetting. Although a great location and good vibes probably would not return.

    Dined there with my husband on Saturday night for the first time. It was not busy and staff was scurrying all around the resturant as if we were not in plain sight. We flagged someone that we had waited 1 hour for bread....ordered the lobster pasta which was not edible. The lobster tasted disgusting - rubbery, gritty, and old tasting. The wait staff did not even bother to ask why it was not eaten. Ate a few bites of the pasta which was not al dente. My husband got the salmon which was raw on the inside and had to be sent back. Vibe was nice, kind waitress, but a terrible experience and waste of money.

    Staff accommodating however I requested inside table at window and was told there was a party inside. The lunch much menu chicken was ordered by my 97 yo aunt. She ate one bite and said she was not hungry even though she ate very little of her salad. We packed the entire plate for home and when I opened it for dinner I realized there was a strong sour odor and the chicken was spoiled and inedible. Thank goodness she didn’t eat it. The branzino was good tasting but portion size was very small, thankfully it was accompanied with delicious lemon potatoes. Not planning to return.

    Wow! What an awesome dining experience at The Cove! The food was delicious, the atmosphere was quiet and relaxed, and our server and busser were extremely attentive. Our server recommended dishes based on what we described we were wanting. When we inquired about dessert because there was no gluten-free option, the waiter had the kitchen create a beautiful tray of cut up fruit for us. There was a beautiful sunset outside and it made for a memorable evening! We will definitely be going back next time we visit Long Island.
