"Chef Flynn McGarry is known for his focused New American cuisine, courtesy of his restaurants Gem, the now-shuttered Gem Wine, and Gem Home. The latest is his Hudson Square restaurant, Cove, where he and his team showcase East Coast ingredients through a West Coast lens - though you'll pay top dollar for both the tasting and a la carte menus (the latter of which I got as a solo diner) and a well-curated natural wine and after-dinner drinks list."
"The pumpkin schnitzel ($42) surprised me. The giant slab of the gourd is fried in a way that maintains its shape, balanced well with hazelnuts and chanterelle mushrooms. Don't skip the celery root-passionfruit cake ($17), which my server described as similar to a carrot cake, which was correct. The two-layer half-cake wasn't overly sweet, where the celery root bits in the cake added crunchiness to the dessert, and the exterior was doused in a passionfruit syrup with whole seeds."
Chef Flynn McGarry's Cove in Hudson Square centers focused New American cooking that foregrounds East Coast ingredients interpreted with West Coast sensibilities. The restaurant offers both tasting and a la carte menus at premium price points alongside a curated natural-wine and after-dinner drink program. Signature preparations include a Jonah crab custard served with toasted bread and egg yolk, a pumpkin schnitzel paired with hazelnuts and chanterelle mushrooms, and a celery root–passionfruit cake finished with whole seeds in a passionfruit syrup. The dining room features blonde wood, Impressionistic wildflower paintings, preserved herbs, and ingredients sourced from a Long Island garden.
