Best Historic Restaurants in Covington

Subito around the holidays is a must-see. The service and food are always spot on as well.

Been going to the Dickens, brunch for over 20 years. There’s a reason we’ve been going that long,the food ,the atmosphere,and the service. The Christmas carolers sing table side and the decorations do help put you in Christmas spirit.

The special French dinner was wonderful. Each course was prepared with great attention to flavors. Portion sizes were filling. Ryan Rachel and Andrew made sure everything flowed smoothly. Would definitely do this again.

Our group of four enjoyed an exceptional dining experience. We sampled a variety of dishes, including wine, beer, oysters, grilled artichoke, lamb shank, shrimp and lobster scampi, mussels, and Cioppino. Overall, the quality of the food was impressive; however, the oysters and lamb shank stood out to me. The oysters were outstanding, the best I have tasted in Cincinnati since The Anchor closed. The lamb shank was substantial, though I would have preferred it cooked a bit more towards medium rare, yet it was still very flavorful. The prices were reasonable, and the service was exemplary. We look forward to returning.

This is my 2nd visit to Alcove. They do a great job of making great food without being pretentious. The menu is varied in that you can spend a little more money, but also have a tasty sandwiches. This meal pleased all - dad with steak frites (a perfect med rare!), massive chicken sandwich and cod sandwiches for the kids, and a lovely chicken with pumpkin gnocchi for the Mrs. These were enjoyed by all. Dessert was cheesecake and chocolate cake were very good and just the right size. I don't want to forget about the "... by MadTree" part - the drinks and cocktails are anchored by MadTree craft beer as well as Sway. I went with the classic Identity Crisis and Holly Days. The kids loved their mocktails. The cocktail look great and perhaps next time I will venture that way.
