    Through Open Table we couldn't tell that it was a set menu at $59 per person with only three choices for appetizers and entrees and two choices for desserts. There were no salads available, just red meat and seafood. We wouldn't go back.

    It was a Friday night and very quiet. Only a few patrons in the bar and only few of us in the dining room. Dinner was great, the tuna appetizer was delicious and the butternut squash soup. The ravioli was also very good. The endive and pear salad was served "deconstructed," which I don't prefer. I like a fully chopped salad with all the fixings. But, the flavor was good. Service was excellent and it was a slow night.

    Excellent meal. We had Thanksgiving dinner at Covey Grill and it exceeded our expectations. Food was creative, well prepared and flavorful. Service was attentive but not intrusive. Prices were reasonable for the quality. We were very pleased.

    Fantastic meal for our first anniversary. Arnel was a great server and very attentive, we had shishito peppers to start and the Quail burger and spinach & artichoke ravioli for mains. All food was excellent. Had blueberry pie for dessert, so delicious!

    Great chef, great service in a nice comfortable setting. Even better when it warm enough to sit outside.
