Our favorite restaurant in the area. I'd put their filet mignon up against any steak house. Atmosphere is very laid back but classy. Drinks are unique and excellent.

Very lovely place. Food was all delicious. Moscato & salted caramel cheesecake pairing for dessert is not to be missed. On our favorites list for sure.

Service and food was really good. Favorite was the flatbread pizza. Obviously a great wine selection. Server was friendly, engaging, and helpful in selecting items. The special this evening was gnocchi was excellent. We always enjoy going to this restaurant.

Wow, what an amazing place and experience! The food & wine were terrific and the ambiance was so lovely. We celebrated my niece's birthday there in the private dining room. Our server, Gabriella, was so friendly, welcoming, and provided simply top-notch service!! Kudos Ripple WB for a fantastic evening with family. We'll be back for sure.

Very cozy atmosphere, I definitely got girly best friend have a few glass' and spill some truths night vibes. The bartenders all seemed to be knowledgeable about the wines on the list, stopped thru after having had dinner elsewhere so didn't get to try the food but the menu certainly looked appetizing.

We ate at Ripple in Covington on a recent Friday night. Initially, I was uncertain about a reservation at the bar, but truthfully, I think I'd choose the bar next time as well. It was comfortable, spacious, and fun to see all the action.What I couldn't keep my eyes off of was the kitchen at the front of the restaurant. It is smaller than my apartment-sized kitchen at home! With three chefs or cooks! But the food was absolutely delicious. I didn't see or hear a microwave, but I imagine they have to prep a lot before the dinner rush. I couldn't figure out how they do it, but the food was fresh.The beef Wellington popovers were perfection. The dough was light, the meat was well seasoned, and the dipping sauce was just right. My son got the scallops and wouldn't share them, but he said they were perfectly cooked and the puree was very good. I had the mushroom pasta (which is an orzo) with blackened shrimp. The pasta was so good! Creamy, mushroomy, and with just the right amount of garlic. The shrimp are my only slightly negative comment. They were a bit small. I would have preferred fewer, bigger, and juicier shrimp. Oh, and we ordered the blackened brussel sprouts. Again, they don't seem to be cooking them to order, or the place would smell of blackened brussel sprouts, but they were good. Not too charred, tender, and flavorful.My son ordered the Candyman cocktail, and it was so yummy. I could develop a drinking problem if I had access to that drink all the time! I loved seeing the bartender taste the drink as well, to see if it was spot on. And it was. They have draft-type pours for the wine, and the variety is good but not so large that you cannot decide. You can also get half-size glasses if you want to try one or two.Our server, Mitch, was new but perfect. He was so kind and attentive. They seem to have a good crew there, which makes the experience even better. I will definitely be back -- and soon! Thank you Ripple for a lovely evening!

Cozy atmosphere, great wines, and the Scallops were top notch!Started with a charcuterie board, we each got a half cafe of wine, then split the perogies and Brussel sprouts. I had the Scallops as well. Fantastic meal!Sat in the loft, appreciate our friendly server running the stairs with our food and drinks.

I LOVED gathering with friends at Ripple! I loved that even though it's a "Wine Bar" the food completely stood on its own. In fact, it was nearly my favorite part-- tied with my unexpectedly delicious Bourbon Smash. Ripple accommodated us by pulling together a table night-of. We had the BEST, most friendly server from every individual (from hostess to server to busboy) and an absolutely great time! It was such a fun ambiance and cute place to spend an impromptu, fun evening with friends. I cannot WAIT to come back now.

We were lucky to grab an early reservation before a concert recently. Such a cozy, gorgeous space. It was busy and intimate at the same time. We had a table upstairs overlooking the small bar area. Our sever was super attentive and had great recommendations. The cocktail menu had many interesting options. We chose to eat light and share a couple items. The charcuterie was fantastic. Gluten free crab cakes are hard to come by and this one didn't disappoint. Looking forward to a return visit.

I struggled a little bit to give them 4 stars but to be honest it was only one thing that went wrong so you decide if its a big deal or not...First things firsts. The food is quality cuisine, fresh, different and tasty. The place is really chill, has a great vibe, awesome wine selection, simply a great place to relax and spend a couple hours eating and drinking with a couple of friends or in my case, with my wife, or at least that's what we where hoping for. It was our first time here so no idea how the place worked, we went in with no reservations, and where greeted with the option to wait an hour and a half or simply sit at the bar which was fine with us. We wanted to celebrate for a while a promotion that my wife just got so we where happy pretty much anywhere. After we ordered a couple of drinks and appetizers we where asked to either leave or relocate to somewhere else in the restaurant because of a reservation in the bar. The place was packed and they didn't know where they would move us so we ended up leaving.To be honest it caught us off guard, If they would told us in advance about the reservation at the bar we would've expected it and there wouldn't have been any issue at all, but my wife specially was enjoying the night and she was asked to leave or relocate. That just didn't sit well with me. Besides that the place is pretty cool.

One of the best places to eat in the area. Cozy atmosphere, delicious food and even better service. Amazing given that the kitchen is a tiny area behind the bar. I would recommend asking your server what's good and have them recommend, you won't be disappointed.Vegetarian options: Many options for vegetarians.
