We had an incredible dining experience at The Cove in Glen Cove. From the ambiance to the service, everything felt upscale yet inviting. We started with a round of mocktails, which were thoughtfully crafted—balanced, refreshing, and beautifully presented. A great non-alcoholic option that didn’t feel like an afterthought. The sushi was fresh and clean, with a nice variety of textures and flavors. The calamari was lightly crispy on the outside and tender inside, with just the right amount of seasoning. For mains, we shared the lobster roll and lobster fettuccine. The roll was generously filled and buttery, served with a perfectly toasted bun. The fettuccine was rich, creamy, and packed with lobster—comfort food elevated to something special. We ended on a high note with the lava cake. It was warm, decadent, and paired wonderfully with the ice cream—an indulgent, satisfying finish. Highly recommend for a date night, a nice evening out with friends, or any time you want a quality seafood experience with a bit of flair. We’ll definitely be back.
This restaurant is gorgeous!! Right on the water and the decor is just as beautiful. We tried their tapas special first and everything was really yummy - the buffalo brussel sprouts are a must try! Moses was our bartender and he was so kind & knowledgeable. Drinks were pretty and tasty. We also tried the Naruto sushi roll which was fresh & delicious and their seafood spaghetti which was served in a fantastic spicy sauce - another must try! We will be back on a sunny day and sit outside!
Delicious! I was looking for a outdoors place in Oyster Bay or even on LI and this is the only place that looked very beautiful. The reviews weren’t that good but I went with my heart and mono glad I did! AMAZING service! AMAZING food! AMAZING ambiance! From start to finish everything was great! I can’t wait to come back again. This is def one of my favorite places. Thank you!!!
A touch of Greece in Long Island. Arrive by land or by sea. Food is delicious. Drinks on par. Beautiful restaurant framed by beautiful scenery. A recommended day escape. A recommend evening stay. A summer must.
I would give The Cove 6 stars if I could! First of all, the waterfront location is beautiful. They have so many seating options, including outdoor (heated in some areas if it's cool), indoor and bar. They have an outdoor bar and lounge area which is perfect for a night out in the summer. They offer live music on the weekends. They also have docking space available! The food is impeccable with a Mediterranean influence. Everything is delicious and I love the selection of menu items. The cocktails are also carefully crafted and fresh. The service is really nice! This place is great for a date night, a night out with friends or even a special occasion like birthdays or graduations.
Great view and atmosphere, the food was Mediterranean and very good. The service was great and the music was loud, but you could still have a dinner conversation.
I would most definitely be revisiting here! Everything were hands down AMAZING! I'm a seafood lover so I had almost everything seafood and it was chef kisses. My family and I enjoyed dinner here for my mom's birthday! The scenery and music was on point! Loved it here 3 Edit : Here back again and once again The Cove Restaurant doesn't disappoint! The food were amazing and service was top tier!!! Edit - I was here once again for Father's Day 2025 with my family and as always The Cove doesn't disappoint!
Lovely place with delicious food and great vibes. The live music was cherry on top. We had a wonderful time.
