    Couldn’t be bothered cooking so a wee impromptu trip to Cove. Too early for the Al a carte but delighted to see prawn cocktail on the menu as that is always my favourite. Next was the mussels which were delicious. It was lovely to visit in daylight as we usually visit when it’s dark. A lovely spot to drink and eat while watching the boats, planes and golfers. Thanks

    Chicken tough, Yorkshire pudding very overdone and almost black. Vegetables good, although could have been hotter. Very slow service. Dessert minuscule for its price., although enjoyable. Meal very overpriced and certainly poor value.

    Food was beautifully presented and both the beef and chicken eaten at our table was very tender. However, we would have preferred the proportion of vegetables to protein better balanced, but this does seem to be the ‘culinary’ fashion at the moment. The welcome received and service were excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed our evening at The Cove .

    We had the valentines menu and it was absolutely perfect. Everything was just so well put together, all flavours were matched and presentation was 10/10. Great value for money with 4 courses and sparking wine. Great service too.

    This was a mad rush for us as we were driving back from Dundee. Great to not worry about cooking and head down here for the valentines special. Started off with the Scallops which were so tasty. Then the Venison which was cooked to perfection and melted in your mouth. What a foodgasm! Then the baked Brie which was amazing. Followed by a selection of sweets. A lovely relaxing evening which was a perfect end to a hectic day. Slàinte Mhath 🥃
