We finally made it to the Cove on a Sat eve. Sorry to say we were'nt that impressed by anything. Its unique that a casual, organic serving restaurant offers a laundry mat, car wash, live local music & fun 'n games all at one location. Make a nite of washing and eating if you like. About the food, we ordered the seafood sampler which includes a fish taco, shrimp taco & spinach salad & the Cate salad which has grilled apples, goat cheese, walnuts & added chicken to make it a meal. They're famous for their fish tacos, I don't see why. The taco barely had any fish in it, mostly cabbage mix 'n sauce and on the small side. The shrimp taco also on the small side, had three smallish shrimp, cabbage mix 'n wasabi sauce. The spinach salad was your classic baby spinach, fresh sliced mushrooms & red onion, nothing special. My date was still hungry after this plate. The Cate salad was pretty tasty though, mixed greens, grilled apples, creamy goat cheese, walnuts & enough chicken to fill you up. I figured I could make this at home now. I also make a mean shrimp taco. That nite there was a live rock band that sounded pretty good and a big mix of people. On the plus side they do serve organic foods, Texas raised meats, and offer entertainment at a reasonable price. I just would'nt eat here if I was really hungry. And I'm not going to pay $7.50 for bean 'n cheese nachos when the rest of the city offers them for half the price & twice the amount.
Pros: Organic, Texas raised meats
Cons: parking, limited menu
