We loved our meal at Covey last night. The food was excellent, and the portion sizes were on the bigger side for a nice restaurant like this. The servers were all friendly and professional, The atmosphere was chic but not stuffy. Highly recommend.
Enjoyed the roasted duck tonight. Meal was amazing. Every detail of experience was excellent including service, food, beverage and ambiance. Thank for a great first visit!

Covey offers a unique and upscale dining experience with amazing food and top-notch service. The complimentary biscuits are soft and tasty, while the oysters Rockefeller and octopus dishes are delicious and perfectly cooked. The ribeye, ordered medium-rare, is cooked perfectly and highly recommended. The duck fat fingerlings and new lobster rolls are also great, rivaling what can be found in Boston. The banana pudding dessert is exceptional, and the lemon dessert is unique and enjoyable. The atmosphere is beautiful and refined, with a relaxing feel, perfect for a romantic date or a special occasion. The seared duck, tuna, and donut with duck leg are crafted with care and 10/10 delicious. Prices are slightly higher but worth it for the quality. The smash burger is a must-try, and the bar offers a great selection of cocktails, with martinis filled to the brim.
The food at Covey continues to receive praise from customers, with the fried chicken being well above average, accompanied by excellent regional sides. The staff is friendly, professional, and attentive, providing a great dining experience. Reservations are honored promptly, and the knowledgeable waitstaff, like Avery, are helpful with meal suggestions and wine choices. Guests can mention special occasions, such as a retirement or anniversary, when making a reservation to get lucky and be seated in one of their beautiful private rooms. The thoughtful touches make the evening feel even more special and intimate. Overall, Covey is becoming a regular choice for many, known as one of Wilmington’s top food spots for its great ambiance, food, and service.
