Carli Clesmere Edgewater just got a new waterfront dining spot with sweeping Hudson River views and a prime location along River Road. Taking over the former Pier 115 space at 115 River Road, the new restaurant is called Cov and brings a fresh dining option to the Edgewater waterfront. With its waterside setting and views of the Manhattan skyline, the space is already one to have on your radar. Read on for what we know so far about this new waterfront dining spot in Edgewater, NJ.
About Cov
Blu on the Hudson teased the project earlier in 2026 on Instagram, sharing a video of the waterfront space at 115 River Road with the message “coming soon from the team behind Blu.” The new restaurant has taken over the former Pier 115 Bar + Grill space, a longtime Edgewater spot at the same address. Blu Hospitality Group is the team behind Blu on the Hudson at 1200 Harbor Boulevard in Weehawken and Blu Livingston at 277 Eisenhower Parkway in Livingston.

COV’s menu is designed for sharing, with dishes arriving at the table as they are ready. Diners can expect chilled seafood selections like oysters, scallops, snapper ceviche, and shrimp aguachile, as well as hot bites such as grilled oysters, crispy calamari, fish tacos, and pork belly lettuce cups.
Heartier options include lobster pasta, a ribeye sandwich, lobster rolls, grilled skewers, roasted Maine lobster, and steak frites. The drink menu features creative cocktails, frozen signatures, and a curated selection of wines by the glass.
What Used to Be at 115 River Road
Before Cov, 115 River Road was home to Pier 115 Bar + Grill, a longtime Edgewater waterfront restaurant known for Hudson River views, casual bites, sushi, drinks, and a lively going-out scene. Pier 115, LLC filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the District of New Jersey on March 12th, 2025.
The case was later dismissed on April 28th, 2025, and terminated on June 24th, 2025. Pier 115 was a familiar name for many Edgewater locals, especially for waterfront meals and Manhattan skyline views. Now, the arrival of a new Blu concept means the riverfront address will once again be home to a dining destination.
