| - Frankly, 3 stars may be a little generous, and all 3 are for the ambiance. The restaurant is beautiful, and there is a great patio with views of Camelback mountain. That's unfortunately where my good experience ended. I was there on a Monday night, and we were the only table in the restaurant when we sat down, and the service was still slow. I ordered a glass of wine, and it tasted like the bottle had been open for 2 days. For dinner, I ordered a calzone with salami and ham. Apparently at the Cove, "calzone" means "pizza folded in half." I was seriously disappointed. The best tasting part of the meal was my daughter's spaghetti and meatballs! By the time we were done eating, the restaurant was about half full, and the 1 server working kept falling further and further in the weeds, so I'll cut him some slack for taking 15 minutes to get us our bill, but whoever is managing the place should have been more prepared. All in all a disappointing experience, which is too bad because I live so close and like to eat at places in my area.
