Partially inspired by Dalton’s time in New Orleans, the eclectic menu features a full seafood boil, lobster rolls, tuna tostada and calamari sandwiches, in addition to multiple non-seafood options, including wings confit, a New York strip steak and more.

Like both Veritas and Speck were, Cove is located at 15 E. Winter St. in Delaware. The building, according to Mitch Coale, Veritas Front of House Lead and Administrative Assistant to Dalton, serves as a restaurant “incubator” for the prolific Columbus chef’s new offerings.

“The space acts as an incubator for culinary concepts that excite Josh, primarily based on his travels and what he thinks there might be a want/need for,” Coale said. Both Both Veritas and Speck have gone on to find permanent homes in downtown Columbus following their launch in Delaware.
