CōV Wayzata

American / SeafoodI was in the Minneapolis area and just so happened to have an old friend in the area. I mentioned I would be heading west which took my right through Wayzata so he suggested we meet at Cov for dinner.It was off season already when we met up and there were plenty of tables available. I got there first so took a look around while waiting for my buddy- there is a very large bar to the right as you walk in- good water views from the bar area. The decor is sort of "new England-ish" lots of white and wood -it gives you that summer vibe.We grabbed a booth in the main dining room and started with some fried calamari and glasses of wine. Calamari was on point.When in Rome, so the saying, do what they Romans do... so after the waitress hyped up the walleye fish & chips - I went and ordered the Walleye fish & chips.Food arrived in what I would say is the proper amount of time - and everything was definitely fresh. The Walleye was decent enough - I don't think it was the best thing I've ever had, but it was a solid meal and a good sized portion.All in all, this place seems like it is a probably a hot spot in the warmer weather, which I am sure it is.Give it a shot if in the area.

What a fantastic spot! Having spent a few years in Boston, the decor really brought back that New England vibe.My group settled onto the patio, which offered stunning views of the lake, and I loved the eclectic mix of music--from Frank Sinatra to Janet Jackson--filling the air.The staff was incredibly attentive, and the food was excellent. I savored a Foggy Geezer IPA alongside my sausage flatbread. My wife opted for the lobster roll, available hot or cold, and my sister tried a spicy yellowtail roll that came highly recommended. Everything was on point.

Absolutely stunning restaurant. Upon entered the decor makes you feel you are on the water in a relaxing spa. But the restaurant is perfectly situated on the water and can see lake Wayzata perfectly. The menu was amazing and there's something for everyone!The waiter recommended the sushi and the turkey sandwich. I ended up going with the lobster roll because this place had me feeling I was on the east coast.

What a great location. I was excited to see sushi on the menu and it did not disappoint. The sunrise roll and hamachi nigiri were so good. Service was timely with a great attitude given our large party. Really pretty themed restaurant with fireplace as well. I hope to bring a client back to use the reserved spaces outside.

Cov is an excellent spot to hang out with friends and loved ones! While we did need to wait about 25 minutes for a table, it was worth it! The hostesses were friendly and were friendly when I asked for an update after 20 minutes. Happy Hour was delicious! Our waitress was prompt and friendly. She took our order and the evening went by smoothly. The burger was juicy. The crab cakes not overly bready or gummy texture. Very nice crab texture and flavor! The prime rib sliders were my personal favorite of the 3 sliders tried. Great bite, flavor, heat, and the pickles are stellar! The chicken wings are good. The ribs are cooked well, but a little tight in texture to my personal liking. The shrimp were cooked perfectly and had a good amount of spice!

I had the turkey cranberry sandwich, one of my favorites. We also had the smoked salmon appitizer is always spot on and could be enjoyed as a meal.The HH chicken strips are great, ask for buffalo sauce and some bleu cheese or add them to a the wedge salad.Service is always great, very attentive and accommodating. How can you beat a patio on a summer day in MN looking at the lake and enjoying a great lunch!

Great location, consistent quality and service, but very pricy. This place is great for work team and client dinners, and needs an advanced reservation. I prefer CoV in Southdale in Edina - it has a younger vibe.

Cov in Wayzata is outstanding! From start to finish, the experience was impeccable. I started with the lobster guac, which was creamy, fresh, and had the perfect amount of lobster. The walleye fish and chips were crispy and perfectly cooked, and the roasted chicken flatbread was packed with flavor. To top it all off, the brownie dessert was decadent and the perfect end to a fantastic meal. The ambiance is wonderful, especially with the restaurant being right on the water, offering beautiful views of Lake Minnetonka. The downtown Wayzata area adds to the charm, with its vibrant, lively atmosphere. The service was top-notch, making the entire dining experience memorable. Highly recommend Cov for a delightful meal and a great location!

Sat outside on a Friday night it was so beautiful and the sunset was gorgeous on the lake. The menu items are a bit pricey. So I'd suggest going for happy hour if you're on a budget. My friend and I split a chicken flatbread which was really nice. It had roasted tomatoes, a nice zesty lemon mayo, spinach and back . And of course you can't beat the location!

This place is frustrating. The food is always good. The ambiance and service excellent. The prices are astronomical. $38 for a French dip. $32 for a single crabcake $20 for a slice of cake $61 for a tiny filet. These restaurants should be embarrassed by their price gouging.
