We serve Coastal American cuisine with an emphasis on traditional New England fare, often infused with the Portuguese culture of the chef’s East Falmouth upbringing. The ingredients are sourced from local farms and fishermen when possible.

Led by husband and wife team, Chef Richard and Jennifer Warner, the Cove Coastal Kitchen team is a mix of culinary expertise that offers guests high-quality, thoughtfully prepared food, local beers, craft cocktails and wines from independent winemakers worldwide. The atmosphere is a comforting refuge in the storm of life. A hug from Rich’s grandmother Edith, a handshake from his grandfather Lloyd. The service is professional and friendly, like laughter traveling across the backyard on a warm summer night. 

The Chef was born in East Falmouth and raised in the kitchens of Cape Cod. He came from a long line of good cooks, but his first exposure to the restaurant world was from his maternal grandfather Lloyd Eldridge, a lifelong resident of Hyannis. Living not far from our restaurant on Pearl Street, he spent many night on Main Street. What a scene it was back then.

Lloyd was one of the first to introduce Bar Pizza to Cape Cod. He was a bit of a traveling pizza man. He set up bars and VFW posts around the Cape. Jack’s being one of the local legends. Chef spent many days and nights working with Lloyd. Starting at 10 years old, prepping and cooking, he was hooked. Then at 13 Rich started dishwashing and was running his first kitchen at 18.

I went on to work in several restaurants and hotels on the Cape until leaving to follow the love of my life, my wife Jennifer to college. We lived in the greater Boston area for the past 32 years and have owned and operated multiple restaurants and gourmet shops in that time. Longing to be closer to family and the natural beauty of the Cape, we decided to come home and feed our community and spread joy through our food and hospitality. Come to the Cove for some sunshine and shelter, great food, good vibes.
