The Cove At Drummoyne

WOW! DO NOT GO HERE!! My partner and I had a voucher to use (which now we wish it had been for any place other than here) Upon arriving we were ignored for atleast 3-5mins. people looking at us and kept ignoring, we then asked for a table for 2, to which the waiter replied "do you have a booking?" To which we said no as we were there for lunch and walked in right on 12pm we didnt think we'd need a booking, he rolled his eyes and rushed off in a hurry, there was a table of two near the door and he hurrily took the peoples money and shipped them off, he then prepared the table for us (as i sat down the table had stain all over it in my spot), pointed at us and then pointed at the table as if there you go sit down, he hurrily pointed at the specials board and disappeared. Other tables by us had ordered, one a family of 4 the kids and father had ordered the burgers (which looked tiny) and the mum had ordred a pasta, the pasta was wrong and had to be sent back and we over heard the father saying how small he burgers were and how his children had gotten bigger burgers than him... if this was any indication of how our lunch was going to pan out we should have left then and there, we ordered our meals and drinks, i ordered a ''fresh" orange juice and my partner a bayberry crush... they arrived at our table almost minutes after ordering, i have to say the orange juice could not have been freshly squeezed, we were right near the kitchen and did not hear anything that sounded like a juicer and it was prepared so quickly and it tasted horrible like out of a bottle for $6 it was a complete rip off, my partners bayberry crush tasted bitter and like nothing he even put sugar in it to help the taste but in the end only drank 1/2 of it. Our meals came out very quickly as well, we ordered 2x chicken burgers and wedges, the wedges were the best part but were very far off being nice, they were barely hot and all soggy, the chicken burger was the most disgusting thing ive ever had in my life, for $23.50 it was so small, the chips were again soggy and cold, the burger was dripping oil, the avacado was a spread and not real, the chiken was covered in some paste and tasted so dry, by the time you got to the second half the bun was dripping from oil and it was unedible (mcdonalds make a better chicken burger) The waiter was so rude and at one stage scratched his bum in the resturant in front of tables (fully up his bum and looked like he had pulled out a wedgy) as people arrived he rushed around, all people with no bookings got the rolled eyes and grumpy attitude from him, a lady with her elderly mother wanted to sit outside, so he pointed at them she asked for a table in the shade and he just walked off and they had to move it themself, another couple just wanted a coffee and were told it would be a 1/2hr wait, 3 people went to sit for lunch and mentioned how expensive it was and just ordered drinks then left, and when they said they wouldnt be eating the got an attitude from the waiter, the waiter was yelling 'lauren' all the time, as people arrived and said their name for a table he walked to the bookings then yelled over the resturant the real name for it. after all this happening there were 3 people waiting for a table so he came to us and took our plates as if he wanted the table from us but we wanted gelato so he wasnt happy, we ordered the gelato the 2scoops that came on top of eachother (HOW ANNOYING) and they only had 4-6 basic flavours there were no beautiful light summer flavours, the gelato didnt taste like gelato it tasted like bad ice-cream but all you could taste was the syrup it was so disgusting! This place is a complete shambles and we will never be back! save yourself the money and tastebuds and go somewhere else.

Great location but not a nice experience. There is a over stressed, angry waiter who is guaranteed to ruin your day, especially if you take children into the restaurant

I was there for a networking event. The asparagus was very tasty, and they had good lighting and a great view of the water. I enjoyed my experience there and will return.

One of the best Sydney Waterfront Restaurants I have been too. Well worth a visit rain, hail or shine.

Food was overpriced, very small serves and basic. Not restaurant quality, most people could make better at home. Service was fast, but a bit too fast - we felt like they were hurrying us out of there to turnover the table which meant the coffees were burnt and bitter and plates were taken away as we were putting our forks down - very uncomfortable. The only good thing about this place is the location and view. WON'T be back.
