The Cove – Seafood
Perched along the water’s edge where the breeze of Lake Michigan meets the rustic charm of the docks, this vibrant destination invites guests to tuck into steaming bowls of creamy seafood chowder and pristine fillets of local whitefish. The atmosphere hums with a relaxed coastal energy, pairing hearty hand-cut steaks and zesty tacos with signature cocktails like the garnish-heavy Chubby Mary or a refreshing Leland Lemonade. The experience finds its sweet finale in a slice of award-winning cherry pie, offering a nostalgic taste of the region that lingers long after the sun sets over the harbor.
