We went to Coffee Rani on a Friday morning and the line was pretty long, but it moved quickly…read more Someone came around asking for drink orders in advance so they could start preparing them, which was a smart idea and helped speed things up. We sat outside, which was nice, but the service didn't come around very often. My companions got their meals after waiting a while. I asked the waitress about it and she said she would check, but I ended up going inside myself after waiting longer. One of the staff members was a bit rude, while the other three were very nice, so it felt like it really depended on who you got. The tuna poke salad never arrived. At one point, they said we never placed an order, but they were able to reorder it and get it ready quickly. I ended up not reordering since everything was fine, and my friend shared her Greek chicken salad with me. The food overall was really good-the hummus was delicious. The pistachio cake was amazing . I brought my husband the next day so he could experience the place, and we had a much better experience with the service. Overall, mixed experience with service, but the food was enjoyable and I would still consider coming back and try the Tuna Poke Salad

I have a gluten allergy and know there are slim pickings on the menu, but the cauliflower crust is gluten free, and some of the salads are as well. When we walked in, it wasn't busy at all, but the staff was extremely friendly. The restaurant isn't large, but there are tons of seating options. Our food was served shortly after we ordered at the counter, and my pizza was piping hot (as desired). I wish Newk's would get gluten-free bread, but until then, I'll just get the cauliflower pizza. We'll definitely be back!

The wife, Natalie, cooks the foods and I promise you it's very delicious. I tried a matcha drink, because I'm love matcha and I don't know what she made but it was delicious I had the pancakes and my husband had the potato and spinach tacos. We shared so we can both have a taste. The pancakes were delicious! I added the blueberries and whatever that syrup was...it was sooo good! The tacos were not what my husband was expecting, he genuinely loved them. The cook suggested a mixture of sweet and russet potatoes and they made the taste buds dance. Topped with some pico de gallo, the right addition. The restaurant was clean, bright and airy. I'll definitely be going back!

I had the strawberry cashew cream cheese toast and the vegan Reuben (made with turnips!), and both were incredible. No processed meat substitutes -- just creative, whole-food plant-based cooking. The space is beautiful, set inside a restored historic building with cozy indoor seating and a peaceful outdoor courtyard. My dad and I loved everything we ordered and can't wait to come back. The owners, Jeramee and Natalie, have amazing energy and a great story -- you can feel the passion behind this place. They close at 2 PM most days, so be sure to stop by early. Highly recommend!

I'd been wanting to try this place for a while and finally did. It emits a "natural, health,…read moreearthy" vibe, which I thought was cool. The staff was really friendly and helpful. I ordered the veggie wrap with tofu added. I excluded the carrots and cucumbers because they do heat the wrap, so I didn't want warm cucumbers/carrots. I should have gotten the hummus on the side because the warm hummus wasn't my thing. Had I done this, the wrap would've been perfect!! I'll make that adjustment the next time. I also ordered a funky monkey smoothie made with rice protein. The presentation was nice but it lacked any flavor at all. I'm going to give them another try though. I'm sure it'll be a super awesome food experience when the aforementioned adjustments are made. Give this place a try.

Truthfully the only positive of this experience was our server, Brennan…read more The crab claws were a nice size on the appetizer but the butter sauce or whatever it was entirely overpowering. The veal was overcooked and the risotto it came with was salty, dry and mushy. Inedible honestly. I was very excited about my triple tail, but it was soaked in heavy cheddar; cheddar grits etc where it was hard to find the fish.

Not the case! Our server, Shelby, helped me find a few really good choices and I went with the fish and grits (called something else on the menu). It was outstanding. Rich but not too rich. Large enough portion that I took half home. One friend had the fried chicken and raved about it. (Order early because it takes time.) Another had fried cheese ravioli Several had the Mac and cheese and everybody raved about their dishes. Took home some seafood-stuffed cornbread for my husband. The atmosphere adds to the experience. It's right in the heart of Historic Downtown Covington at the trailhead with huge windows and natural light. Really lovely! They were crowded (on a Tuesday night) but the service was great and the owner popped by several times to check that everything was okay. Already planning a return trip with my husband!

Today we enjoyed their full bar, excellent service, and tasteful decor, which combine to impart a comfortable, welcoming ambiance. I had their chicken Marsala, which was prepared in the traditional style and was tasty. My wife had their signature muffuletta, which although unusually prepared on French bread, was good. Salads were somewhat wilted, but iced tea was quite good. Mandina's is worth your attention and we will return to try some other Italian favorites, including their lasagna, which I hear is excellent.

We ordered eggplant parm with marinara over angel hair, fried jalapeño ravioli with meatball sauce over spaghetti and chicken parm with pesto over angel hair. Let me tell you, that fresh basil pesto was incredible & one of the best I've ever had in my life. What a nice option to add to a menu! The fresh, toasted and buttered French bread served with the pasta was delish & full of flavor. We took 3 cannoli home & placed them in the freezer as instructed: the cannolo (pastry shell) was yummy, fresh & flaky. We all thought the ricotta texture was a little runny but couldn't ignore the freshness. Overall, it was delightful; the quality of using good & fresh ingredients for all the dishes & desert cannot be overlooked. That's rare these days. The three of us all have more vowels in our name than there are letters in the alphabet, know authentic Italian and plan to go back soon. Great job to the Gallodoro famiglia
