This place has been on my to do list for a long time.. Beautiful atmosphere but lacked on customer service in a big way. Arrived at 4:30 for an early drink and apps at the bar, the shrimp cocktail was spicy and delicious, and the biscuit was amazing! House salad was basic greens and the dressing was very good, but I felt like an inconvenience and had to ask for things that should have been addressed.

This restaurant has a wonderful atmosphere. The food was tasty and flavorful. The staff are polite and helpful. Great place to go with family and friends.
It was my first time at Covey. We had octopus and it was delicious! Potatoe Pave - good. My friend and I split the 22OZ KC 45 day dry aged. We ordered medium rare and the temperature was fine. I thought the steak was slightly underseasoned. My friend thought it was seasoned OK. The fries and broccolini were good, but nothing I'd rush back for. Our server, Brook, was great. The right amount of attentiveness and engagement. We tried the white chocolate tort and affogato. Very good. Overall, the food was good, not great.

Everything we ordered was perfect. By far the best biscuit and fried chicken I’ve ever had. Oysters on the half shell, potato pavé, salad, tri tip special and drinks - entering was amazing.

This was my 2nd time at Covey, each time at the invitation of a friend. The place is definitely going for an elegant, upscale kind of vibe. The food (we only had appetizers) was ok, but nothing special. The wine was excellent, service was so, so. I found it too expensive for what it is.

This is one of my new favorite places to go to treat myself. The decor is beautiful. Great ambiance and attentive servers. The biscuits are so good. The potato pave is a must get! Caesar salad is delicious- very flavorful. I’ll definitely be back.
I held my birthday party there in their private room with 14 people and they were phenomenal. Great service, great food and so accommodating. I booked it a few weeks in advance and they stayed consistently to touch with me all the way up to the event to make sure my needs were met. We had a great time and it was even half price oyster night which was perfect!
WOW! Everything was AMAZING. Covey is easily a top 3 restaurant in Wilmington. I didn't get an opportunity to take pictures of everything (::crying face::) but l was blown away by every single menu item we tried. We had the oysters, potato pave, blistered peppers, cavatelli and the fried chicken. The fried chicken was PERFECTLY brined and fried, the setup was collards and mash that were also excellently executed. The cavatelli was clearly fresh and if you like spicy this was DEF the move. The portions were nonpretensious and the quality was perfect, validating the price. Drinks were excellent as well. Although we were on the brink of being rolled out the door, we had to round out the night with the banana pudding suggested by our server. WE WERE IN HEAVEN. The bruleed bananas on top were more akin to marshmallows than fruit! To die for! And I would be completely remiss if I didn't mention the incredible service provided by Josh B. Josh BE doing the doin the damn thang! Thank you all for a wonderful date night experience.

Went here for date night and was pretty impressed! Beautiful restaurant inside and the food was really good. Had the crab dip special appetizer and my husband got the squid ink pasta. I had the ribeye and it was cooked perfectly. Also those biscuits are fabulous!

I wouldn't go out of my way to revisit. Luke warm shrimp and grits, terrible gin and tonic, and the service was missing. A9sking If we wanted dessert while half way through our dinner. Not what should be expected for the prices.
