About Covey Kitchen + Cocktails

Covey Kitchen + Cocktails offers a mix of experiences. Located inside the Eleo hotel, it is convenient and has a nice atmosphere with outdoor seating and free valet parking. The restaurant features beautiful views, including floor-to-ceiling windows in half of the room. Some guests find the place more suitable for older people, especially those staying in the hotel, and note that it is not very trendy but still a solid 4-star spot. The service is friendly and attentive, with staff who often go out of their way to ensure a good experience, making it a place worth returning to.

While some reviews mention that the prices are high and dishes may lack flavor, others highlight the exceptional food and good drinks. The food presentation is praised, and the beef/caramelized onion starter is noted as wonderful. Guests enjoy dishes like the French onion soup and tuna tacos, though there are occasional comments about the steak being overcooked and chewy, and the vegetables undercooked. Despite these inconsistencies, the overall vibe and customer service are positive. Many guests appreciate the spacious seating, the outdoor patio facing fountains, and the welcoming staff, including efforts to remake dishes if necessary. Covey Kitchen + Cocktails is a place where the atmosphere and service often leave a good impression, encouraging repeat visits for drinks and appetizers.
