We have become major fans of Chef Basarov. Under his regime, I firmly believe that the Covey Grill may have become the top of the "haute cuisine" chart for the entire Monterey Bay Area. Each and every item we have ordered from his menu has been superb--not just in presentation, but in the surprising explosion of tastes in the mouth. In turn, the service is excellent--every time is a happy event, a badly needed escape during these troubling times.

we had a great meal tonight at the Covey. Staff was terrific especially Emerson and Plu. They took great care of our large group. Chef did great job. Outside of Carmel by the Sea, the Covey is worth a visit.

Valentine's Day dinner was excellent. This is the fourth time we've been here and the chef keeps us happy. Each menu is different and not repeated. Looking forward for future dining adventures.

This is our third time experiencing the Prix Fix Wednesday menu. Once again, outstanding value, astounding choices and the Chef is amazing. The ahi appetizer was generous and perfectly seared, the lamb loin was fork tender, Chocolate banana bread pudding with sliced bananas was devoured. Looking forward to exploring further Wednesdays.

Quail’s Live Thy Neighbor event every Wednesday at the Covey is a fun evening and a great value. The recently remodeled dining is a nice setting to enjoy a high quality dinner and the menu changes each week. Absolutely worth a try.
