    From me: let me paint you a picture. First, think of the most idealized version of a strawberry/basil martini and that’s what was delivered as my drink. It truly lived up to the hype the waitress claimed. Next, the pork belly actually wasn’t just fat. It came with actual meat to chew and enjoy and the sweet potatoes it rests on is to die for. The steaks lived up to all expectations with the peppercorn crust and piping hot plate to keep it warm throughout the meal. But lastly, the star of the show was the cheesecake. If I had to describe our meal, it would be a ramp where the very top of the experience was desert. We’re talking about locally sourced honey on top of a light and airy chiffon cheesecake with just a dollop of champagne icing and a scoop of fruit. It was incredible and totally worth every penny. Our serve staff Jaxson and Stephanie were exceptional and the managers were so kind to check on us multiple times. We love this place and recommend it to anyone interested in a high end meal that’s worth the price. From my wife: GET THE CHEESECAKE!!!!!!!! seriously though, you won’t be disappointed at any point in your meal. It’s phenomenal food, amazing drinks, and the best staff you could imagine.

    Our experience at Tavi last evening was outstanding as always! Tavi has become our go to restaurant in Covington for all dining events- holiday or just a casual lunch. Walking through the door into the warm white, airy, tranquil aesthetics brings instant comfort along with friendly greetings as you are seated. Service is immediate with a warm Welcome and cool delicious tall waters. The menu selection provides an array of simple cuisine (all fresh ingredients, warm oven baked pita) and fabulous desserts. The ambiance of atmosphere combined with the friendly hospitality, divine foods, drinks and remarkable service sets the tone for every visit to Tavi! Mr. Mark and Misty always give amazing, professional service with amiable conversation and smiles. We will be back soon!

    The experience was great. Maddy was very kind,attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. The food was excellent. Having the grill items come out on a sizzling plate with butter is a wonderful touch. The smell of brown butter cooking with steak stayed with me all evening. Will be going back this weekend we loved it so much.
