“The Baker's Table continues to impress me. We recently signed up for and attended one of their wine pairing menus, the Beaujolais and Duck dinner. It was superb. From the five course meal to the wines, it was perfection. They do an absolutely spectacular job with ingredients and taste profiles. Just, wow. We also thoroughly enjoyed the service, attention to detail, and enthusiasm of, well, everyone! I adore this restaurant and I am so pleased to call it part of our neighborhood community.

3. Otto’s
521 Main St., Covington
“Stopped in for lunch on our way south for a getaway. When I looked at the reviews I had decided to try the tomato pie. When we were seated the waitress told us the special and I was hooked. Artichoke bacon grilled cheese and it was awesome! High quality bacon and large pieces of artichoke. I very much enjoyed the butternut soup, so sweet and spicy all at the same time. The cinnamon garnish on it was a pleasant surprise as well. My better half had the short rib sandwich and fries. … If you want superb food and service give them a try.” -Christy D.

2. Wunderbar
1132 Lee St., Covington
“When I lived in London, my husband and I had a "local," a neighborhood pub where we felt welcome at any time. I'm so excited that Wunderbar is our new local! The staff is wonderful and quickly set out to get to know us. It's got a lovely outside patio area for warm sunny days and a cozy inside space. I've sampled the burgers and the sausages and the food is really, really good! My mushroom Swiss hit the spot and the side of zucchini was remarkable. Doggies are allowed outside … There's a fabulous rotating beer list and so many vegan and vegetarian options. Bonus points for all the great bands that play inside and out. Recommended!” -Nannette B.

1. Coppin’s Restaurant & Bar
638 Madison Ave., Covington
“When the hotel restaurant's bar menu is twice the size of the food menu, I get a little nervous tbh. But, we quickly learned they just focus on doing what they do really well. Try the Liquid Knowledge cocktail. Essentially a mule, but next level. It was served in a custom Rookwood Pottery mug with a gorgeous floral garnish. Our gnocchi was perfectly prepared as was the salmon added on top. Presentation was gorgeous!
Their best seller had to be the burger. We saw so many being delivered to nearby tables. They're HUGE. Imagine a burger piled as high as Marge Simpson's beehive. Yup. If you go after dark, the magical, twinkling lights add so much charm.” -Susan O.
