The Cove
111 West River Street, Leland, MI 49654
Body
Unique setting in Leland's historic Fishtown, overlooking adjacent dam waterfalls, Lake Michigan & Manitou Islands. Outdoor dining provides beautiful views, ability to accommodate a private party with a banquet menu. Rick's own secret recipe has been a well protected secret for decades! This New England style clam chowder will be sure to bring you back to the Cove for years to come.
A Michigan Wine Restaurant serving a selection of Michigan wines.
