New owners, the father and son team of George and Philip Iordanou, have created a dramatic new restaurant located in the Brewer's Marina, in the Hempstead Harbor. This chic, casual, and comfortable waterside restaurant and oyster bar delights guests with its varied menu, friendly service and captivating ambiance. The amazing view of the marina, boats and gorgeous sunsets makes you feel like you're at a waterfront resort, dining on a spacious patio.

The dining room boasts natural reclaimed wood treatments, high ceilings, wood tables, exposed brickwork and nostalgic Edison light fixtures.  Plush grey suede fabric on the walls is above comfortable banquettes. There’s a long wood bar and a chef’s table in the bar area.  Over-sized doors open to the outside for a view of the water and boats. An additional outdoor bar offers taps, frozen drinks and fresh fruit cocktails.

Philip is a graduate of NYIT with a degree in hospitality, culinary arts, and wine. George has 20 years experience in Manhattan's famous fine dining French American restaurants, Greek restaurants, supper clubs and nightclubs. The menu offers American Seafood with a Mediterranean flair. Our favorites included Greek meatballs, made from a family recipe; and whole branzino, simply grilled with fresh lemon and olive oil. Raw bar selections; and linguini with clams are popular menu items. There's an international wine list and a variety of creative cocktail like the Next Fig Thing, awesome and refreshing. Our favorite dessert, rice pudding, was sweet, creamy and delicious.

This casual waterfront restaurant is an exciting and busy place filled with an eclectic mix of people enjoying the outside and the view, and live music or DJ music and dancing. For romantic dinners, business lunches and dinners, office parties or just a fun night out, The Cove Restaurant and Oyster Bar is the perfect place.
