From the reviews

First time at The Cove and couldn't have been more pleased. Noelle provided excellent service. Great views from all around restaurant floor, nice nightly specials well explained and with pricing. Cup of clam chowder was hot, meaty, flavorful.

Great spot for food on the water. Great views of the ocean and some mediocre food. The service is great. I had the salmon and the plating looked great. It lacked just a bit of salt. Other than that I enjoyed my time here. I noticed you can pull up on a boat/jetski park and come in for a bite to eat.

Hello google peeps. We visited Fall River to view a boat and when finished we hit The Cove Restaurant for lunch.(we didn't buy the boat :(! ) Being a Sunday afternoon it was rainy and not too busy. It was a bit more formal decor, lovely actually, and the views were beautiful.

Just had bloody Mary's and fresh oysters. The bloodies where awesome, but the mix was not fresh but the bartender dressed them up enough so they came out great. Got shocked fresh oysters. Fall on the floor good. They do it perfect by keeping as much brine as possible in these very fresh oysters.

Getting married at The Cove | Restaurant & Marina

Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
