 The Cove’s interior evokes the bow of a pirate ship, with a long boat-shaped wooden bar complete with cotton sails and rope jutting from the wall. Oysters may be ordered on the half shell, Casino-style (cooked with bacon and sherry) or Rockefeller-style (topped with fresh spinach scented with herbe sainte and Parmesan). Even pizzas are topped with oysters, along with artichoke, bacon and goat cheese. Not a seafood fan? There’s plenty for vegetarians and seafood-weary meat-eaters. The Big Cheese is a grilled pizza with four cheeses and bacon, while vegetarians will enjoy the hummus pie. The limited wine selection offers a few moderately priced labels, but the Cove is known for its inventive cocktails, such as a traditional New Orleans-style Sazerac or Pimm’s Cup. And the Vampire (a Bloody Maria served with sriracha hot sauce and balsamic vinegar) might have you sweating in your seat. For dessert, we suggest the chocolate truffle (gelato with a zabaione cream center) or the blonde butter brownie.
