The Cove holds a D-minus grade and ranks in the bottom tenth of similar restaurants in the county, indicating performance well below typical standards for food service establishments. The facility has demonstrated a persistent pattern of high-risk violations centered on improper food storage and temperature control, with bare hand contact with ready-to-eat foods cited repeatedly in September 2023 and July 2025, each triggering mandatory follow-up inspections that initially failed. While violations were resolved within a month of each incident, the same critical safety issues have resurged across multiple inspection cycles, most recently in February 2026 with improper cold holding documented again.
