Dean Allen This place is not on the water, where you can see the water while you eat. You can however walk down to Tsala Apopka lake. With all the Spanish moss and cypress knees, it is absolutely beautiful. Their is a playground just off the outside eating area. This makes it very convenient for families. This was our first time at the Cove, so we called ahead. Right away, the hostess was very friendly and accommodating. She told me she was the one I spoke to earlier. Our waiter was very polite, attentive, and helpful, navigating us through the menu. The smoked fish dip was good. It is mild. And we had the oinkers as our second appetizer. Sweet BBQd pulled pork over chip. They were an unexpected delight. We got the Florida Fat Boy burger. It was beautifully cooked, and beautifully messy. I was able to break the fried egg over my fries. Got lucky there. We also got the black bean burger. I dont usually get the black bean burger unless I am at Chilis. But I recommend this burger. It was a preformed party. And they obviously did not make it on the premises. But it was a high quality patty. Weather you get there by auto or airboat, I highly recommend The Cove Resort and Pub
