    The Wednesday night prix fixe menu is consistently enjoyable. A choice of interesting appetizers, three entrees and two desserts. The staff is attentive and the ambiance nice.

    Went to the Covey Grill for the Wednesday night 3 course Prix Fixe menu for $59 per person. The room was nice and fairly quiet with a fireplace. The waiter was attentive and friendly. The choices we decided on was the Waldorf salad presented in cups so it could be eaten by hand, the Swordfish that was tender and juicy as it was coated with Panko and the chocolate caramel dessert with blueberries. The pre dinner cocktails were good and there is an extensive wine list by the glass. Great experience.

    A very enjoyable New Year's Eve dinner celebration for my partner and me. We both relished each plate of our meal. The food was exquisite, and the service just perfect. A lovely evening that we both found to be a wonderful way to say goodbye to the old year and to look forward to the new one..

    Dinner was amazing, delicious. The best steak I’ve had in years. A creative butternut soup both fun and yummy. Nothing like the chef presenting your dinner with final plating touch. We had such a fun delightful time.

    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.
