The Cove Restaurant - American restaurant in Charlestown - 3963 Old Post Rd, USA

beautiful indoor decor, very friendly service, clean bathrooms and eating space, and fantastic food (although a bit pricey) even if it was on the expensive side, you get what you pay for. I had a steak that was perfectly cooked with a spaghetti side and my friend had a soup with calamari and clams. They loved the soup and I loved my steak. I wish I could come back here, I really do.

We had an OK experience there. It was karaoke night so we enjoyed the atmosphere and fun vibe. As far as the service though, I don't know if it's because I perhaps stood out as a non local but I felt I was purposely ignored, it was that bad. I almost felt uncomfortable. No menus given, no check in on us, no smiles, everytime I needed something I had to raise my hand to get the attention. The food was kinda soggy, the stuff clam lacked taste, just overall we didn't enjoy it. Definitely a locals bar.

Went twice last week and was very happy both times! The place is HUGE inside, and has additional seating out back. It was PACKED both nights we went, yet, somehow, we were seated quickly enough, and the wait for service and our dinners all went smoothly. We had a chicken parm grinder with a side salad ($3). The chicken was delicious, nice breast meat not a patty. Good sized portion. The Fish n Chips n Strips was outstanding, even better with sweet potato fries. The second visit we had the seared/blackened tuna (a special) and the whole belly clams. The tuna was beautifully cooked, very rare inside, nice sear outside, served over a salad. The whole bellies, while tasty, was a bit pricey at $30, and honestly, they weren't any better, and hardly bigger, than the strips. Next time I'll order the Fish n Chips n Strips again! I highly recommend this gem in Charlestown.

Very dark atmosphere which made it difficult to see the menu. . My fish tacos were soggy. My husband liked the pastrami sandwich but it was very small. Not the best. I probably won't go back

We had a delightful (off season) lunch at this lovely, spacious restaurant/bar off the main road in Charlestown, RI. We ate at the beautiful wide wooden bar and had a delicious and reasonably priced meal. The service was friendly, local, prompt and attentive. My cajun spiced flounder with horseradish aioli over rice with salsa was delicious, a very generous portion (made two meals) and spiced perfectly rather than the limited bland "cajun" food served elsewhere around here. The Garlic Bread Bites were also delicious. A lovely, quiet, delicious and very affordable meal just a minute off the beaten track. Highly recommend it, especially off season in South County, RI!

Very good clams and linguine and fish n clam strips. Excellent service

Wow! What a great place to eat. Service was outstanding. Food was plentiful and cooked well. It was a little loud for a restaurant. But I will definitely be back.

The management at this establishment is awful. Very confrontational. We waited an hour for a table, which is fine, it’s the summer busy season. Then 40 mins for our food once ordered. When our food arrived, what we received was not what we expected. We simply asked the waitress if we could order something else and that we did not want the entree. She took the entree, came back with it boxed and bagged and stated that the manger said that they could not comp the entree because it did not specify on the menu that it was hand breaded. I ordered a new entree and asked for the manger. When the manger approached our table she was very defensive and confrontational raising her voice so loudly that other restaurant goers were looking at us. It was awful and I had to deescalate the situation because the manager continued to repeat herself, not even listening. I would not recommend this establishment, terrible customer service from management. I would recommend that you spend the money elsewhere.
