    Ms. Destin is the best server we have had anywhere in the world in a very long time. She knew her menus, friendly, prompt, and just all around a good person with good energy. This was our first time visiting the restaurant and we will definitely be back for her and the good food.

    It was a holiday so extra noise was expected but one large table was very noisy. Management addressed the situation and was very concerned about our dining experience. We really appreciated their acknowledgment of the situation. We will definitely return as the service and food were excellent.

    Outstanding as always! Service and food were over the top! Might be the only restaurant in Covington that even when crowded, does not seem so. You can actually care on a conversation at your table without raising your voice! Always a treat to be there!

    The Papillion salad and special spinach salad were wonderful. The duck confit was one of the best I’ve had. The shrimp scampi was good, but at $35 for five shrimp over pasta, it earned the low rating for value. Our server, Savannah, was extremely nice and greatly attentive. The manager stopped by to say hello. A nice touch. Overall, a beautiful experience. I do wonder if in the future the menu might include different seafood dishes. We’d be more tempted to return if there were more seafood choices.
