The Cove is a hidden gem. Love the food, service and views. Couldn’t ask for anything more. Had the best parsnip soup and burger. Would go back in a heartbeat.

A beautiful location but disappointing as the menu at the restaurant was significantly reduced from what is shown on line.

It was a gorgeous day and we ate outside by the lake. The cheeseburgers are incredible and our server was delightful. Next I will try the fried chicken and waffles!!

Great location and service. Very good food quality and presentation. Not a lot of food for the cost. You’re paying for the atmosphere which is fine, just know if you’re hungry one dinner entry may not fill you.

The first issue we had was finding a reservation for the time we were interested in. The first available reservation on OpenTable was for 6:45pm on a Tuesday evening. When we arrived we couldn't help but notice that the restaurant was practically empty and there were several tables available outside on the patio as well. Why couldn't we reserve a table for 6pm? Or 6:15pm? Or 6:30pm? The server was prompt in taking our drink orders and the drinks came out fairly quickly. Then our food order was placed and we waited, and waited and waited... it took almost an hour to be served a burger, chicken wings, linguini with tiger prawns and a veggie salad. About halfway through our meals...the yellow jacket bees arrived to swarm our plates and our heads. We had to have the wait staff help us move inside to the empty restaurant to finish our meals. Overall, the food was good but certainly not at the NYC prices. A $25 burger? $42 for shrimp and past? $18+ for a salad and $16+ for buffalo chicken wings...pretty ridiculous for a Tuesday night in the Finger Lakes. We have had really great meals and experiences at The Cove in the past year. This was not one of them. Probably best to call for reservations since the tables available on OpenTable were so severely restricted.
