The Cove Restaurant & Marina

I came here for dinner and it was a really nice place. Ive been in the Summer and they have live bands outside but in the Winter its indoor seating of course, the atmosphere was really nice and the restaurant was clean. The servers were very friendly. We got the calamri app, the salmon dinner with mashed potatoes and the shrimp mozambique dinner. I personally did not love pistachios on the salmon but Im sure you would be able to ask for it without. For dessert menu, they brough a tray full of their dessert options so we can see what they look like and their portion size! Overall experience was really nice and I would totally recommend for a quiet / date settings.

Went for a reception so this review may not be the standard.
The staff was very friendly and super helpful for us.
The food was amazing and the scenery was great. Great place for taking pictures of you or loved ones while having amazing food.
Would have another reception there, but would also go there for a regular dinner as well.

We had the most incredible wedding sendoff at The Cove! It was essentially a wedding reception, with 150 guests, full dinner service, dj and open bar. The space was absolutely stunning, with its elegant decor and breathtaking water views and a beautiful sunset that added a touch of magic to our special day. Alison, John and the entire team behind the event were exceptional - they truly went above and beyond during the planning phase (offering guidance and recommendations) and our day couldn’t have been more stress free or perfect. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the food and the ambiance! I can't recommend The Cove enough – it's the perfect choice for a dreamy event. Thank you again to The Cove for making our day so memorable!

We checked this place out as a possible venue for our wedding and also had dessert and drinks there. The sales manager was friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. We were very impressed and after, we decided to stay for dessert. It was an impromptu choice. My fiancé got the carrot cake and I the crème brûlée along with a mudslide and him, coffee. I don’t have any food photos as we didn’t think of it until we licked our plates clean (we didn’t really but if we were home, we sure would have!).

The wait staff were attentive, funny, and warm with all the customers.

Had my daughter's First Communion party and the Cove made it a wonderful day. Planner Alison was fantastic throughout the experience. The staff was so nice and accommodating, they made sure we had everything we needed. The food was delicious and plates were a good size. Definitely will be returning in summer to enjoy dinner on the outdoor deck.

Our waitress Margaret was friendly, attentive and helpful. The food and drinks were delicious. Overall had a wonderful meal with family

My friend and I visited Fall River for 1 day and a colleague had recommended this restaurant. We loved everything about it, the staff was very friendly and relaxed. The atmosphere is honey and feels like the main watering hole in a small town where everyone knows each other. The food is delightful. I really e joyed the local oysters, briny, salty, and meaty. We also tried the special, baked class with stuffing. I enjoyed a massive lobster roll with 1 lb of freshest sweetest lobster. Haddock was a wee bit on the dryer side, nothing a little butter won't fix. Really like a big selection of dessert cocktails as well. If you're ever in town, visit this great restaurant.

On the way from Newport to Boston, decided to stop at Fall River - The Cove Restaurant and Marina. The location is very nice, on the bank of the river, with breathtaking views on the bridge and Battleship Cove museum. There was a small valet parking outside. They have inside and outside dine in. Had to wait for 30 minutes on a beautiful terrace with chairs. Our seats were outside, with high chairs, near the bar. There was live rock music, extremely loud. The waitress was very nice, but we had to yell at each other to hear anything. All the tables are placed very tight, so we could here everything our neighbors were talking. And we had very bad neighbors, 3 men, using 'F' word every second.
It is a seafood restaurant. They have kids menu, and ramps for disabled people. I tried appetizers and entree, but can't say that it was something very delicious, just average food, not really impressed. But for the staff and views will give 5 stars.

Must be gorgeous in the warmer weather to be outside on the deck - beautiful view of the bridge and battleship. Service was friendly, food was delicious!

We came to eat here the night before our wedding day with our siblings. It was phenomenal — food was exquisite, service was excellent as well as fast! We didn’t have a reservation but my husband knew the owner/manager and they gave us a table before the closing. Love their food and will definitely come back again! Highly recommend everyone to try their food!

Really great atmosphere, very popular place food was good, service was friendly. Highly recommend this one.

I had my bridal shower here and it was so much fun! The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. We appreciated their assistance and accommodation so much. The food was incredible and the space was so dynamic with the porch. It was a wonderful space to celebrate in! Thank you!

Nice waterfront lunch/dinner venue.

We had lunch here on Sunday, no reservation needed and got to sit right by the water.

I had the Fish 'n Chips. The fish was beautifully prepared, light and flaky. If anything I guess it was maybe a little more battered than I prefer, but in all a great plate. Would also have preferred more Cole slaw and less fries, but it wasn't unlike many other Fish 'n Chip plates in that ratio.

The most standout feature of the plate was that the piece of fish was HUGE (see pic)!

My wife had the tenderloin tips on a Caesar salad. We both started with cups of clam chowder and finished by sharing a slice of Oreo cookie cake! We very much enjoyed our lunch!

Took the family here for my son's bday dinner last night. Great experience all around. Service and atmosphere was fantastic even for a slow winter night. The food was A+. I got the turkey melt. The kids got the bacon jam burger and my GF got tyhe steak tips. Everyone was very happy with their food. Oddly enough, the fries seemed to be the star of the show. Some of the best fries we've ever had. Looking forward to coming back in the warmer months to eat/drink on the outdoor deck!

Can only say something about outdoor deck, but it was a pleasant time. The deck can be accessed without heading inside. Dress code a bit more relaxed. Good views of water, bridge, and battleships. Food was excellent. Would go back no question.

Never disappoint... Skilled bartenders, friendly hostesses, & wait staff. Atmosphere super fun & relaxed, the food always always a treat. Compliments to the chef as always.
Another of Fall River's gem. Right on the water dine under the sunset, very romantic setting, hint hint😉 looking over the Braga bridge and the battleship stationed feet away in the water.

Food was very good, had the chicken parmesan. Went there for a family celebration. Waitresses were awesome! Everyone enjoyed the food. This was the only place that could accommodate our large party, about 24 people, and also the only place that didn't require a huge amount for deposit. My husband raved about the mudslide, said it was made perfectly. Service was very quick, we didn't have to wait long for food. We didn't use valet parking, parked in outer area.

Update: we went back again dec 2022 still the same high quality of food and service.
Perfection in taste from the chef delivered by bubbly waitress in enchanting Christmas decor.
Portions and prices are reasonable. The owner was seen greetings customers and checking to see that all was well.

Went here for a family party (brunch). The place is well decorated... food and service was great! Beautiful views from the large windows. I would like to come back for dinner sometime.
