Cove is a fine-dining restaurant opened by chef Flynn McGarry at 285 W Houston Street in the Hudson Square neighbourhood of New York City. The restaurant offers multiple dining formats, including an eight-course set menu served in a dedicated room adjacent to the kitchen and an à la carte menu available in the main dining area. The menus evolve frequently and are built around seasonal produce sourced from local farms and McGarry’s own garden on Long Island. A wine pairing programme is available, featuring selections chosen to complement the tasting courses.
The dining room is arranged around an open kitchen, and seating includes a main dining room and a private dining space. Cove’s food reflects influences from Californian sensibilities and East Coast ingredients, with dishes that may include local fish and vegetables alongside preserved and foraged elements. The restaurant’s design incorporates natural materials and a minimalist interior palette that aligns with McGarry’s aesthetic.
