The Cove Hotel - Reserva de mesa

This week my hubby and friends enjoyed a fantastic evening at The Cove's special Winter Wonderland Wine Tasting and 5 course menu in The Wine Room and lounge area of The Cove.A few times a year The Cove's Executive and Head Chef put together special evenings to show off their culinary expertise. What a brilliant, well thought out evening it was. The evening included partnering up with local Mornington Peninsula Vignerons to pair up with the food.The evening was excellent, the food was flavoursome, interesting, creative and very well presented. The matching wines were delicious and the service by the staff was professional, warm and personal. Overall the evening was very good value for money...

After seeing the sign out the front advertising new pizza menu my wife and I decided on a casual lunch. We live quite close to the cove and while we enjoy drinking and socialising there, we have never been impressed by the food. Unfortunately today's visit was the same. After ordering the pumpkin and feta pizza, my hopes were dashed when I noticed the waitress opening a shrink wrapped pizza behind the bar. Sure enough when our pizza was brought out it was soggy, bland and very unappetising. $15 is a bit rich for refrigerated store bought par cooked pizzas guys, especially when they are reheated by your bar staff in an oven behind the bar. It's disappointing they miss the mark by so much with...

We have had many great family meals in The Cove over the past five years, and this was about 6 months after our last visit and put simply I was left with the impression that prices have gone up and quality has gone down...The menu has been changed, prices seemed higher but we expected this was a seasonal change. However, when the food arrived the size and quality of the portions wasn't a match for the prices. So disappointing as quality has always been very good on previous visits.With newly refurbished restaurants opening in the main Patterson Lakes shopping centre, which we have been impressed with when we visited, unfortunately there are now better options in the area. Still good for drin...

I've previously posted this query on Facebook and the response was a little bit poor.When ordering the gnocchi dish last week, I was expecting to receive gnocchi (small dumplings), however I was served two large wedges of semolina, which did not look like gnocchi, yet alone the same texture of it. The response given by the Cove: 'This is our take on a non-traditional gnocchi'. If that's the case then the menu description should reflect that. It's a bit like advertising sirloin steak and serving oyster blade instead and excusing the difference as a your take on a non traditional sirloin steak. Serve what you advertise or just give full disclosure on the menu what your serving. It should deter...

We were seated on the "Deck" and enjoyed the water views, friendly/efficient staff and timely delivery of ordered food & drinks.The menu provided a number of dinning options and should accommodate the fussiest of eaters. On our visit, we tried the "lamb pie" & the "chicken parma". Both meals arrived hot and were fresh & flavoursome. The "chicken Parma" won the meal of the day, the chicken was moist/tender, tomato sauce topping was a delight, perfectly melted cheese and a good sized serving.We thoroughly enjoyed our meals, the atmosphere was laid back and seating was comfortable.

The night started with a waitress coughing on us, follow by a long wait for service for an empty restaurant. The food was very basic and pricey considering what was served. We ordered 2x $7 wines and were up sold wine that we were told would cost an extra $4 in total. When we paid our bill, the wines were over $12 each. The location is great though and would be a great spot for a drink in summer. Or even on a winters day, overlooking the water.

We had a family get together here recently, as we have on previous occasions.The setting is wonderful, the staff are great and the drinks are cold, but the food wasn't fantastic, especially for the price, my fathers porterhouse steak was tough, my salmon was over cooked and the two sauces on the plate had no connection with the dish, the corn & black bean base was nice.If you are going to charge higher prices, then present better quality food.

My family and I went here for a meal after my graduation! We have been before and it's been hit and miss, with food and slow service. However the staff are always friendly to their customers. As usual a lovely waitress on a Tuesday evening served our table. The food was really tasty, I had the lamb pie and my partner had the BBQ selection (definitely a meal for two). It's a shame they don't offer take away as the meals aren't cheap!

Our male server was fantastic in the indoor seating area. We shared a bbq platter enough for 3 girls to share and a decent beer tap selection. Overall an enjoyable experience we will be back. The gaming area is what you expect in Australia. Total including beer 96$ for 3 adults and 2 children all sharing plates.
