Four of us came on a Tuesday to share a special anniversary lunch at perhaps my favourite restaurant. Our time at The Cove provided a wonderful respite from the continuing damp, grey weather - the restaurant was quiet and light with interesting background music, the view of the luminous beach and ever-changing sea was what we'd come to enjoy, the staff welcoming and discreet - and the food delicious and appropriate for the time and place. We all enjoyed it at the time and will continue to remember it fondly.

We have been visiting The Cove for 6 years now, I can't really think of a meal that we haven't really enjoyed. We keep returning so it must be good. Well done to Annette and Arty for continuing to provide excellent service and fantastic quality,

A very warm welcome where we were shown to our table, then the waitress took our coats to hang them up. We were then asked if we would like a drink which we ordered then presented with our menus immediately after given our drinks. On deciding what we wanted, our very friendly waitress took our order and the rest is history. The restaurant was reasonably busy and their was no rush/panic amongst the staff. Everything about our visit was calm and relaxed, and as for the food, wow, it was exquisite. We look forward to going again as this was my first visit.

Excellent ambience and service. Enjoyable meal - a la carte menu could do with an additional meat dish (there were three fish options). Starters and puddings were exceptional.
