About This Spot

Stepping into COVE, you sense a familiar blend of ease and energy that perfectly suits a casual evening out or an informal gathering with friends. Nestled in the heart of Olympia, this spot carries the welcoming vibe of a neighborhood lounge where the pace is just right — lively enough to keep the conversations flowing, yet relaxed enough to settle in comfortably over drinks and food.

The room hums with friendly chatter and the occasional cheer from the many TVs that hint at a spirited love for the game, creating a backdrop that feels communal rather than impersonal. It’s a place where attentive service meets genuine warmth, so you’re reminded that hospitality here is about real human connection as much as it is about a good meal.

On the menu, you’ll find dishes and drinks that reflect this balance of care and approachability. The food offers satisfying takes on familiar classics and thoughtful twists that invite you to linger over each bite — from richly seasoned ragu that transports you to comforting memories, to burgers crafted with care and precision. The cocktail selection, from bright, tropical sips to subtly floral old fashioneds, complements the mood and invites exploration beyond just the basics.

COVE thrives on this subtle interplay of comfort and enthusiasm. It’s a spot to enjoy a game with a well-made drink in hand, but also to have quieter moments savoring flavors and company. Whether you’re drawn by the spirited atmosphere or the carefully crafted menu, it’s a place that quietly promises an experience where food, drink, and community feel intertwined and welcoming.

Really liked this place. Especially for watching a game. The atmosphere is great and the service is fabulous. Everyone is extremely friendly and attentive. I ordered an espresso martini and I have to be honest, it was pretty weak. My dinner was the salmon piccata which was really good. The salmon was cooked the way I like it and seasoned well. I prefer my piccata a little more sour/salty but it was still delicious. Definitely worth coming back.

Get the ragu! It was 10/10… it’s not even what I ordered. I got a smash with fries, it was good. Other half got the ragu, as soon as I smelled it i knew it would be great. Tasted like home! Drinks very great. We will return. Also: Nice happy hour specials!

if you’re looking for a quality dinner this is absolutely the place, the service was great and the food was even better. We ordered the single patty smash and I can absolutely say it’s one of the best burgers I’ve ever had, the steak was cooked and seasoned to perfection and the short rib ragu was divine!

Really great service, we came in around 1 pm. I loved how when someone was leaving the guy at the bar and the server's thanked everyone for coming in. I've been in the customer service industry for 21 years, so I loved seeing that. Was happy about the GF options as well. The clam chowder was delicious! And the California burger and the lobster roll!

Decent food, above average, but wasn’t especially busy and took 30 minutes for two burgers to arrive. Also the atmosphere is nice but unfortunately they covered every wall with a TV, so instead of having connection time with your loved ones, it’s basically a more relaxed sports bar. It’s on the edge of being a better restaurant than it is, could be a really special place with way less TV’s (people already have those at home) and a more attentive kitchen.

Went on a Saturday. 6 ish. Busy but still had no wait to be seated. Food & drinks were good. Service was a little slow, but good. They had a band on the night we were there. It was fun. We had the Pear Prosciutto Flatbread as an appetizer. Amazing! I had the western burger, my friends had the smash burger with salad and the Apple & Gorg salad with steak. We all enjoyed our meals. For drinks we had the Apple Whiskey Sour, Apple Pie Martini, strawberry bliss drop and a cosmo. The strawberry bliss drop wasn't a favorite but the other drinks were great. We each spent abt $75, but had several drinks while we enjoyed the band; a meal and one drink would probably run abt $35 per person. Definitely a nice experience and I would recommend.

The food was incredible. The brussels were VERY good. My husband got the crab risotto and I got the Cajun Shrimp pasta. I could eat either for dinner for the rest of my life. We finished with the whiskey brownie. Our server, Isaiah, was wonderful. So kind and attentive, and very patient with our 10 month hold helping write down our order. Thank you a great anniversary dinner!

Went during their happy hour during the weekday and got the single smash burger! It was delicious and full of flavor. The bacon jam and caramelized onions were great. Fries were perfectly seasoned too. Will be back!
