“We have dined at Don's in Covington multiple times. The food is consistently fresh and delicious, and the servers are exceptional. During our recent visit, we were served by Emily. She was very professional, intelligent, and focused. She was patient and pleasant to converse with. We were impressed with her knowledge of the restaurant and the menu. We truly enjoyed our dinner, and Emily provided excellent service.”

“My family and I have been to Del Porto many times for both lunch and dinner. The food is always fresh and tasty, with seasonal menu changes so nothing ever gets boring. There's always something new to try. The cocktails are on point too, the martini specials this summer were delicious. We've always had impeccable service too. I especially want to point out Ben - he's been our waiter a few times recently and he's great, extremely friendly and attentive and he remembers us! I hope every time we visit we can have Ben as our server. 👌🏼”

“Crumbl is a great dessert place that never disappoints. Whenever you think of I need that, they are there with their signature flavors that are just as you remember them. So next time you get the late night munchies go to the Covington crumbl for all of the good tastes.”

“Just wanted to drop by and say that we had an amazing experience at Turgeau's this morning. Our youngest son is newly diagnosed with celiac disease and just starting to feel better. Going out for a meal causes some nervousness but he REALLY wanted pancakes (I just miss having pancakes 😔). Not only were the staff well educated on cross contamination precautions, they were also very helpful with making sure his selections were safe. Plus, they have a catering menu for Christmas dinner. We will be back!”

The food was amazing- we had: wild mushroom/tahini/fried chicken hummus sampler and the falafel platter for appetizers, delicious fresh baked pita, mezze bowls, lamb burger and kofta plate. Everything was delicious and well- spiced with very satisfying portions on everything. We will be back!”

“We have been about 6 times with friends and everyone loved everything we tried. The food is fresh with multiple layers of flavor. The negative ratings are about service or wait times. (Which we have not had a problem with) But the food is what matters! I recommend the poblano rice and plantains as sides. Nachos as an appetizer or entree because it is not a hunk of cheese melted on old repeatedly fried chips we find everywhere else. The guacamole is the best I have ever had. But, as a dessert gal, I have tried them all and there is not one I would not get againm(hint: the chocolate cake with flan on top is my favorite)”

Dustin was incredibly easy to work with responsive, flexible, and kind throughout the planning process. The food was out of this world. Every dish was packed with flavor and beautifully prepared. Guests couldn’t stop talking about how good it was! And the portions….wow. They didn’t just feed us, they abundantly fed us. No one left hungry, and we had plenty to enjoy afterward. It felt like they truly cared about making our event special. Highly recommend Palmisano’s for anyone looking for top-notch catering with heart, flavor, and fantastic service!”

“We’ve made so many great memories at The Southern Hotel over the years. Our son’s wedding was held here, and it could not have been a more beautiful or special experience for our family. From the atmosphere to the service, everything was handled with such care and professionalism. My wife and I have also enjoyed several staycations here in downtown Covington — relaxing by the pool, enjoying the charm of the property, and taking in everything this historic hotel has to offer. Our business has even had the opportunity to paint different interior areas within the hotel, including portions of the ballroom — which makes it especially meaningful for us to see guests celebrating their own special moments in such a beautiful space. We’re incredibly grateful to have such a wonderful venue right here in our community. Whether you're celebrating a major life event or just looking for a relaxing getaway, The Southern Hotel is truly something special. Highly recommend! — Southern Dropcloth Painting”

“We came in today like a sweaty, chaotic whirlwind after spending the morning at Global Wildlife. Our server, Brooklyn (I believe was her name & if I’m wrong I’m so sorry, I was frazzled) was incredibly patient & friendly from the very start. Our 6 year old son is autistic & was NOT a fan of GW. He was on the verge of a spiral & the only thing he could verbalize was that he wanted pizza. Brooklyn & her manager came to our table, we came up with a game plan and they makeshift created a “pizza” on the spot for my little dude with no hesitation. Y’all truly don’t know how grateful I am to the staff of this restaurant today for helping make this mamas day just a little easier. They accommodated us with a smile, when they easily could have said, sorry we don’t have pizza. Brooklyn & her manager provided absolutely stellar service!! Make sure you ask for her section & tip her big, cause miss Brooklyn deserves a RAISE!!!”

“Visited today for the first time. Upon arrival we were welcomed by Greg at the front door offering High 5's, and were promptly walked through the process of how to order and what to expect. Appetizers came out quickly, (which the fried pickles were perfect), and the entrees came out quickly after that and were also incredible. Customer service was phenomenal all around. From the beginning to the end, staff were attentive and engaging. Greg even showed us the wall of hot sauce that is available for customer use. After our meals we opted to purchase some of their sweet goodies that were near the register, which turns out are crafted by someone who works there and were out of this world! Overall, the experience was one of the absolute best we have had at a restaurant. We will definitely be back next time we are in the area.”

“Im not a Keran, but it is extremely dangerous in this day and age for a person to be on their phone, responding to messages, then touching the food obliviously. He never washed his hands.
He never acknowledged the fact i was looking dead at him. Hiding behind the oven changes nothing.
The cashier? Excellent! No quarrels. Expeditor on oven, no quarrels.
Food was hot and fresh... but now i have to worry about what was on his hands and cellphone??
Look into it. Press rewind for proof.
Will give this establishment 1 more go in a week or so. Dang man 😔”
