The Cove Waterfront Restaurant and Tiki Bar

Set on the Intracoastal Waterway at 1754 SE 3rd Court, this waterfront restaurant has operated under a couple of names over the years, most recently rebranding from Two Georges at the Cove to The Cove Waterfront Restaurant and Tiki Bar. The physical location and phone number have stayed the same through the change, and the restaurant continues to trade on what has long made it a destination in this part of Deerfield Beach: direct water access, a marina alongside the dining room, and a laid-back tiki bar atmosphere that caters as much to boaters pulling up to the dock as to diners arriving by car.

The menu covers familiar waterfront territory: seafood, sandwiches, salads, and soups, served in a casual setting with both indoor seating and an outdoor patio that looks out over the marina. The restaurant markets itself around fresh flavors and a tiki bar drink program that includes craft cocktails, frozen drinks, wine, and a rotating beer selection, the kind of menu built for sipping a drink slowly while watching boats come and go on the Intracoastal. That dock-and-dine setup is a real feature here, not just marketing language, since the restaurant sits on a working marina where boaters can tie up and walk straight into the dining room.

The restaurant occupies a stretch of SE 3rd Court known locally as The Cove, a small waterfront district in Deerfield Beach that has for years been home to a cluster of restaurants, bars, and a marina just off the Intracoastal. That location puts it a short distance from the beach and the Hillsboro Inlet, and it draws a mix of local regulars, boating traffic, and visitors staying nearby. Under its former name the bar side of the business supported a full happy hour on Fridays, and the layout accommodated both casual solo diners at the bar and larger groups looking for banquet-style seating for celebrations.

Because of the recent rebrand, some details published under the previous name may not perfectly match current operations, so anyone planning a visit should confirm hours directly before heading over, particularly since a change in restaurant identity often comes with updated hours or menu changes. Under its prior name, the restaurant kept relatively long hours, open from late morning into the evening seven days a week, with extended hours on Friday and Saturday nights.

For anyone exploring Deerfield Beach’s waterfront beyond the ocean itself, The Cove offers a different kind of water view, one built around a working marina and the Intracoastal rather than the open Atlantic. It’s a good stop for boaters looking for a place to dock and eat, and for anyone who wants a laid-back tiki bar evening without leaving the city limits of Deerfield Beach.
