The Cove Bay-Side Restaurant & Tavern, Erie PA

Great experience.bartender Jared was very attentive. Didn’t have to chase him down for more rounds. Pleasant experience will be back next season and hopefully Jared is still there

We were a table of 4. We finished our drinks, and never got refills. The server said she was the only server on the floor, but there was only 1-2 other tables. We asked for refills for our drinks, and didn’t get them until we asked for the check, and that was only because we had to ask again. The food was below mediocre. We ordered burgers (I don’t remember the names, but it was the one with the crab dip on it), and the honey mustard chicken sandwich, and they were luke warm.
The appetizers were the only thing that was enjoyable about this place.

Went in Friday night for dinner and had an absolute horrible experience. Crab dip came out ice cold, and we were told they can't scoop it when it's hot. They honey mustard chicken sandwich came out with a cold, hard pretzel bun, and cheese that was nearly frozen. The Cove Cristo had lukewarm bread and ice cold meat and cheese.

Our server was unattentive and would rather sit at the bar with her coworkers. Kitchen staff standing behind the bar smoking vapes.

If I could give it zero stars, I would.

Took forever with no one there.just one waitress.lucky we weren’t in a rush.people would leave without eating.would not recommend.sat there waiting for food for approximately 1 hour and 28 minutes until food arrived.good food but not worth the wait.

Traveling through. Nice waitress who knew the area well and was attentive and helpful. Enjoyed the shrimp appetizer. Tasty with greens underneath, and 10 shrimp. I was trying to eat light due to too much dining out, and it was perfect. Loved the outdoor dining area.so relaxing. We later went back in the mid-afternoon just for drinks. Very welcoming. Plenty of staff. Clean.

Love this place to stop in at to eat when we’re on the boat! Jared is awesome bartender and makes it fun when we’re here!

Ordered a Manhattan and got it in a plastic cup. Tasted like garbage. Food took forever and service was slow. Sat at our table at least 10cminutes before anyone took our drink order.

Damn good Fantastic food. Great drinks nice tasty and dangerous. Fantastic servers loved April she's a hoot and has funny jokes. A must go especially if you want good food and gooooooood prices. A+

Every time I try to give this a chance, I am disappointed. I am really not happy with the menu selections. I'm through.

My niece got married that weekend and my sister and I went for lunch and catch up. The food was great as were the drinks.

Loved this place! I think it's my new number one restaurant on the bayfront to go to! Great food at decent prices! And, the servers were extra nice and efficient! Will definitely go back again!

Service was poor and menu limited. Grandson's grilled cheese was made on a hamburger roll with maybe a half slice of cheese. Scenery was pretty. Was convenient to our hotel. Overpriced.

Terrible service! The waitress never came back and asked to refill our drinks, food took forever and they weren’t even that busy. Once our food finally came the waitress never came back to see how everything was and never brought our check I had to ask the hostess to find the waitress for our check once we paid I asked for a box for the rest of my food and she never brought it back so I left without it. Terrible would never go back!

Great little indoor/outdoor restaurant with a nice spot on the bay. The menu is smaller than in the past and doesn't always match the website but check the sign in the front to see any limitations. P ices are fair, service is good, views are great.

Took 45 minutes for a four burgers (that were cold) lunch. Went inside after 30 minutes to see what was going on, our waitress said I have a 12 table top and 4 other tables in here Im BUSY! We drove 3 hours to meet our family and this place was not very reliable or friendly. We will not be eating here again. Spoke with two different managers and they gave us ten percent off.find another place to eat.
