The Cove Restaurant and Bar - (Near Canandaigua, NY)

5 /5 Michael Krossber: The Cove was the perfect dinner & atmosphere for a date night with my wife. The lakefront view is incredible. I had the Ribeye & she had the Chicken Gorgonzola. The flavor was fantastic. The martinis were mixed perfectly too! The only thing that made this beyond a 5 star experience was our server Lisa. She was outgoing & knowledgeable. Thank you for a great dinner Lisa!

5 /5 Duvall Farms: First time visiting. My husband and I had a brunch date here. Our waiter Carter was wonderful. Food and drinks were very good and large food portions. We sat outside overlooking the lake which was lovely.

4 /5 Dawney Davis: We had a wonderful experience. Soup of the day was an Italian roasted tomato with lovely herbs and tons of flavor. We enjoyed the lobster crab dip with nice chunks of meat and rich sauce. Next was the hanger steak special marinated with peaches and pink peppercorns and broccoli Rabe. Our servicer LISA was bright, kind, generous and so helpful.

1 /5 Alexandra Scialdone: I want to start with: Our waitress was incredibly lovely and our experience was awful for reasons that *dont* involve her. Its been more than a week since we ate at The Cove and Im still annoyed. We traveled to Canandaigua for a concert on a Sunday night and found that our dinner options were limited. My friend is vegan and I was excited when I looked online and saw a really delicious sounding tofu dish listed on the menu for this restaurant. Immediately upon sitting down, we noticed that the menu posted online is *not* the menu they gave us. I asked about the posted tofu dish and our waitress immediately confessed (as if this were a regular occurrence) that the menu online was not accurate and they are "not vegan friendly". My friend was only able to order a salad as an entrée so we also got two appetizers that could be altered to be vegan. The pretzel bites are definitely frozen; they were terrible (very dried out and tough). The French fries were supposed to be seasoned and the only alteration we asked for was to not put the cheese on top. They arrived completely plain. Our entrées did not arrive until an hour and 20 minutes after wed been seated. My friend and I both ordered salads and mine had a $10 added piece of salmon. Im calling out the price because this was the saddest excuse for a salmon filet Ive ever been served. Im including the picture I took because I cant believe how much I paid for a piece of fish the size of my index finger that had been strategically folded to make it look thicker. We will never go back. I consider this a $75 lesson in where not to eat in Canandaigua.

3 /5 Genevieve Anderson: We visited The Cove at the Hilton Hotel on Canandaigua Lake for lunch last Saturday around 1:00 PM. The restaurant was very quiet, allowing us to choose a table beside the window, as the patio was full. The view of the lake was beautiful and set a nice ambiance for our meal. Unfortunately, the food was mediocre. My husband had the salmon bowl, which was overly salty. I ordered the biscuits and sausage gravy with two eggs, but the biscuits were stodgy, and eggs arrived unseasoned. I wasnt offered salt and pepper, which could have improved the eggs. After lunch, we enjoyed a pleasant walk beside the very busy lake, which was a highlight of our visit. While the setting and views were wonderful, the meal left much to be desired. Hopefully, the food quality will improve, as the location has great potential.
