When we arrived for our Wednesday 7pm reservations, the hostess was on the phone. She never looked…read moreover at us to even motion that she saw us. Then at least three servers walked by us and didn't make any eye contact nor did the bartenders who also saw us waiting. For a restaurant that says on their website, "we may be casual, but our service is upscale," we didn't get that feeling. The manager came by and then checked is in for our reservations and took us to a table. The hostess then wished us a nice meal. Luckily, our server Regan saved the day with exceptional service. She was friendly, attentive, and personable. Regan would accompany the guy dropping off the food to let us know the rest of the food was coming or just to check that we received what we ordered. Our appetizers came and we were given enough time to enjoy then before our entrees arrived, our plates were cleared, and our drinks were full. To begin the meal we drinks. Then we shared the BBQ Shrimp (GF minus the Cornbread and French Bread), Gumbo, Shrimp & Corn Bisque (GF), and Wedge Salad (GF). The BBQ Shrimp were cooked just right and had a great sauce. The salad was a good size loaded with tomatoes, cheese, and bacon. Then I had a 14 oz Ribeye medium rare to accompany my Dirty Martini. The steak was cooked perfectly and seasoned nicely. My son enjoyed the BBQ Shrimp Pasta while my husband really liked his Etouffee Empanadas. The Blackened Scallops with Lobster Risotto looked delicious and my brother in law enjoyed it. My mother in law shared a few of the dozen Charbroiled Oysters she had for her entree. They were plump and juicy with great flavor. We ended the evening with Dragonfruit Sorbet, Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream, Creme Brulee, and of course an Espresso Martini. We enjoyed the Creme Brulee that was crunchy with big pieces of sugar that were browned with a torch. Both the sorbet and ice cream were also really good. Regan and the food made up for the disappointing start to the meal.

Friendly service and a relaxed small town ambiance are standard here and tonight we sat near the bar and Jennifer took excellent care of us. Lots of Louisiana favorites on the menus and tonight my wife and I had one of our favs, the fried catfish, which was very tasty. Accompanying salads were also good, although croutons were somewhat stale. I had a refreshing draft brew and my wife had a Bloody Mary, which was a little watery. She mentioned this to staff and her second was primo. Morton's remains one of our local favored spots.

Our server was personable and checked on us often. We were seated immediately! The crawfish did take a while to come to the table, 20-30 minutes, but they were delicious. They were well-seasoned with some spice (which I like). The shrimp and crawfish were a good size and the crawfish had good sized claws as well. The side items were delicious but definitely overpriced for the amount. Overall, a great stop for some local crawfish!

For my entree I had the crabcake sandwich which was flavored well and the crab cake was not too bready which is how I like it except that due to the lack of filler fell apart quickly and I ended up finishing with fork so didn't work well as a sandwich. I would definitely get the crabcake again but on its own because it was messy as a sandwich. Someone else in my party got the Cobb salad sans blue cheese and while I didnt try it I would love to try on another visit.

Came here for Mother's Day to check out a new place for us. We were pleased. The food was really…read moregood for a place that seems to cater to music and drinks more than being a restaurant. There was live music and the band sounded good without being too loud. We had the boudin balls for an appetizer. Pretty standard now on most Louisiana menus, but they were done right.

She said it was excellent. My kids said their food was great. My 11 year old had the loaded fries. He was not disappointed. The server was great. She was very attentive and friendly.

It was a little odd, we were the only customers in the restaurant the entire time we were there! Yes, it was Easter weekend, but it just felt odd at 7:00 on a Saturday night and we were the only ones there. Any way...we get seated at our table and ordered crab cakes for an appetizer. For the price, we were expecting more than one tiny crab cake. It was just ok. We were served bread with their signature flavored butter which was good. For dinner I ordered the filet cooked medium and my husband ordered the trout special. My steak was decent, slightly undercooked for my liking, but good flavor. My husband's trout was the smallest piece of fish I've ever seen on someone's plate at a restaurant. He enjoyed it but was still hungry after his meal. We opted not to get dessert since we were the only customers in the restaurant we felt like the staff were waiting for us to leave. That may not have been the case but that's how we felt. Maybe we picked a bad time to try this restaurant so we will give them another try. I would say this a great place for a special occasion if you're looking for ambience. I wouldn't go there with expectations of great food.

They have done a fantastic job at refurbishing the place into a quaint little restaurant. We went on a Friday night and they had live music on the deck. I'm handicapped and found parking was a little difficult however, once inside the restaurant the staff was extremely helpful and attentive. Their specialty drinks were fantastic. I had a El jefe.which is their version of an Old Fashioned. To be honest I liked it better than the typical Old Fashioned. They have a great wine list too. My wife ordered the creamy goat cheese tapas (appetizer) and it great. Very light and tasty. My in-laws ordered the Setas al Ajillo. They are button mushrooms that have been and white ones and other spices and they were fantastic. On to the main course. My wife and I shared the seafood paella for dinner. And my in-laws shared the pan bronzed redfish. They were both exceptional. We will definitely be returning both for dinner and the occasional tapas and cocktails. PS. Please note that if you want to try one of the Paella meals that it takes about 30-40 minutes for them to prepare it but it's so worth it.

Valencia, near downtown Covington, is a stylish, contemporary presence featuring tapas and traditional Spanish cuisine, with a respectful nod to the local culture. Service was friendly and attentive today, with Dara providing valuable info on menu offerings and taking excellent care of us. Today we enjoyed their specialty tapas; a Valencia roll, fried calamari, and a brand new offering - fried chicken pesto flatbread. All were excellent, with the roll having a sumptuous glaze and the calamari packing a tasty jalapeño punch. The flatbread, which we found out that we were the first to try, may have been the star of the show; generously portioned, with a thin crust, moist chicken and a zesty , but not overpowering, pesto finish. Although we were too full for dessert, several appealing ones were available. A number of specialty cocktails were also featured. We enjoyed their sangria. We look forward to returning to Valencia!
