Excellent in ambience, with fresh ingredients including their produce and homemade pasta. We cannot sing the praises of the Covey enough. We booked dinner reservations during the busy Trailing of the Sheep Festival weekend. While this cozy modern elegance meets farmhouse restaurant would have been an ultimate experience for a date night, our expectations were FAR exceeded with our family of four (including two younger children). We enjoyed the mafaldine, lamb cassarecce, and butterleaf dishes. They accommodated a delightful simple pasta for our youngest one, and encouraged them to create artwork while we waited for our meal. Their artwork was proudly framed and tastefully displayed on the wall by the bar. The evening ended with a delightful sweet surprise by the chef/owner and his dog. We will be back, with our family, friends, and for a date night!
Great food, including a nice pasta section. The clam starters were great. The octopus we liked a little bit less. For mains, the wagyu bavette was so good, though it didn't come with any sides, just a little bit of sweet potato puree. The eggplant was delicious, my favorite dish. Lots of fun cocktails and mocktails as well. Overall, great spot for dinner
If I could give this ten stars I would. They made our children feel like they were the most important people in the room, put us at ease, and even gave our doodle a spot to hang so we could enjoy a meal. It was the best experience we have ever had. The meal was exquisite, balanced, delicious, and fabulous. The best we have had in a long time. Thank you so much for making our girls feel so special.
My first visit two years ago was as spectacular. When you can enjoy a meal this good and feel like your in your back yard with friends in a comfortable homey atmosphere it’s 5 star Even the restrooms are beautiful
Pleasantly surprised with this place! The food was excellent and so was the service. I was able to get in on short notice and highly recommend supporting this place!
We were hesitant about bringing our 2 year old with us to dinner but we are so happy that we did. The staff was so kind and welcoming to us and especially our daughter which made for such a pleasant dining experience. The food was great but the service to our family was extraordinary. Other restaurants could learn a lot from the owner on how to make families feel welcome. Thank you!
I typically refrain from reviewing, positive or negative, but we had an AMAZING experience, so I felt compelled. Food: top notch Vibe: rambunctious but fun! Personal touch: unmatched Thanks to Jesse, and his team, for keeping my family engaged while my wife and I enjoyed an amazing meal! Plus, the cocktails didn’t suck, which is a plus...
I was initially apprehensive about bringing three kids under five to The Covey but our families were met with open arms. Not only did they provide high chairs and coloring materials but the owner took our daughter and let her sit at the kitchen bar to “help” him expo. It was such a sweet experience and one our daughter won’t forget. In addition to the kindness showed to our children the food was divine. The steak tartare was the best I’ve ever had, the handmade bucatini incredibly flavorful, and the cheesecake is actually indescribable. Nothing but great things to say about this place, the food, staff, and the owner. I can’t wait to go back!
