    Excellent for brunch. I had the chicken salad and potato pancake and my aunt had the casserole and tomato soup. We both loved it. Will be back!

    Just moved to Covington and trying new restaurants. Service was outstanding, friendly staff. The foot was good I had scallops and my husband had the halibut. The only reason we wouldn’t go back is the noise level. The seating is so close to others that I could not have a conversation.
