Captain’s Cove

This is a great location with good food… but with terrible management. I used to go for lunch and enjoyed their limited sandwich selection. Wait staff was young and inexperienced (same owners as the convenient store next door), but I would forgive them because of the lake location and quaint setting. Then the day of «s**t» service came. Waited 45 minutes for a sandwich… When inquiring about it, I got a vague answer. It had been 1 hour for my party already (we were the only patrons), so I decided to pay for the salad that actually made it to our table and talked to one of the owner, explaining gently the situation. Reaction: OK. Not a sorry, not an apology… It causes me great concern when an owner actually do not care about the well being of their business. I used to be their number 1 fan.

The Cove is closed, as of ¹²⁄₀₉.

The panini sandwiches at this restaurant are AMAZING! The view is fabulous, and the staff is friendly. The only complaint I would have is that you will wait for about 20 minutes to get the food you ordered. If they can learn to expedite their service, I would give this restaurant 5 stars.

Some friends and I came on a Saturday night at 5 and stayed till 8. There were very few patrons, which was too bad because this place has a lot to offer: decent organic food, a nice view of the lake, live jazz music starting at 7. Unfortunately, with little advertising or visibility, I worry about its future success!
While I generally recommend Captain’s Cove, I must warn against ordering the «World’s Healthiest Dessert» featuring the Xocai chocolate the restaurant hawks. It consists of a medium-​sized chocolate cookie, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and a square of the chocolate itself. The cookie is gritty and has a horrible flavor, and this dessert will set you back $ 14 — the same as most of the entrees on the menu! Yikes! Do yourself a favor and order one of the cheesecakes, which are quite nice and reasonably priced.

My friend thinks this place is the bomb but it has a limited sandwich type menu for lunch w average food. The water view, though artificial, is still nicer than no view at all & it was nice to sit outside. It was very quiet with 3 tables occupied for a Sunday brunch in October (when we did go) while it was still 75 – 80 degrees out.
