    Chubby Mary - Great Views - Amazing people, let us in before they even opened and had extra food from an employee breakfast and gave some bacon and other stuff to our group. Great staff

    Good food, but the Cove is one of those places that rations Ketchup and other condiments! Please don't charge $12 for drink and then pinch pennies on ketchup...

    The whitefish is fresh and amazing. Pair with the Black Star Chardonnay.

    We just had drinks, but the view was good, both upstairs and down. Cool atmosphere. The chubby mary was a fun thing to do.

    Been here 10+ times
    Great food and drinks overlooking the Manitou Islands. Try the chowder and whitefish pate with the Chubby Mary. Bring in your catch of the day and get it cooked to order. Don't miss the sunsets.
