    Tavi lunch menu
    Mike H.

    Dined at Tavi in downtown Covington on a Sunday and as always, it was quite good. My wife and I started with the Tahini hummus appetizer with fresh warm pita and it was great. We each followed with the Fattoush salad. Crisp and tasty! As we have come to expect, service was excellent and the surroundings tastefully comfortable. Excellent desserts and a full bar are available. Tavi is the go to place in Covington for elegant Mediterranean dining.

    We had such a great dinner at Tavi in Covington. I got the salmon and my husband went with the lamb burger. We started with the fried chicken hummus and it was amazing. Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. Even my husband, who usually isn't into Mediterranean food, said he loved everything and would come back. The pita was so fresh, the service was excellent, and the ambiance was beautiful and inviting. Definitely a 10 out of 10 and we'll be back for sure.

    The food was delicious! Have to come back and try more items on the menu. Ask for Mark, he was our server and he was on top of everything!

    Came in for a cocktail and appetizers on a Friday evening. Busy location, lively crowd, prompt service. The martinis were fresh and delicious. The fried chicken hummus was absolutely the star of the show-- the warm naan, date salsa, spiced crispy chicken hummus all of it came together perfectly.

    A+ 100 meal! Everything was so good! I loved that they had options to do a demi size of the hummus so we could try more of them.

    Was came to Tavi because everything else was closed...and I'm so glad we did! The food here is amazing. Everything we had was delicious. The best thing was the chicken thighs on aromatic rice. The chicken was cooked perfectly and tasted great. The rice was phenomenal. The spices they add to the rice made it so flavorful. I would come back just for the rice! For dessert, we had the chocolate and tahini mousse, which was so tasty. Tavi has amazing food, great service and a warm atmosphere. Make sure to try it out!

    This has always been a 4/5star place- but tonight was very disappointing. Our first round of pita was t hot- the fried chicken hummus...chicken was not hot and you could tell it had been sitting for a while. Why you ask? Because they were severely understaffed tonight. if you don't have enough server help, don't fill up and sell out your restaurant. I don't fault the servers, I fault the management. Not the best experience...cold food and slow service. Our server had at least eight tables, and two parties of seven people. You just simply cannot be at all tables simultaneously and provide good service.

    Well, we have a new favorite ice cream place on the North Shore. Epic shakes and creamery. The ice…read morecream is Hershey's ice cream and they have such a wide variety of wonderful flavors. The service was excellent and it was basically half the price of marble slab ice cream.

    I just happened to be attempting to "clean up" my phone and messages, etc., and when I checked into…read morethe "yelp" site here, I find a response to my review here almost a year ago which for some unknown reason I cannot pull back up and post. I really wish I could because although I had not thought about this review or the business at all within the past year, obviously someone else did. It would seem to be someone associated with the creamery who decided it was a good idea to completely validate my experience as being an honest report stating that the employee closed up early to go home before the storm, of course this employee nor the responder considered that they did not bother to admit that their competition just a few doors down that DID NOT and received my business that night nor did this person or employee consider that a simple note on the door explaining the situation would have been an appropriate response BUT felt it most appropriate to inform me that there was "NO NEED to leave a one star review." I noted there were 4-5 other ONE STAR REVIEWS further noted here and was curious if they were also informed that there "ONE STAR REVIEWS" were "not needed". I reread my review and it was not offensive in any way and their response validated my experience so rather than attempt to obtain a potential customer's business, this obvious owner or manager elected to chastise me for daring to leave a honest, respectful customer experience. As someone who worked service industry and lower level management waitressing tables to pay my way through college and medical school to become a physician, I find this type of attitude both baffling, insulting, rude and very much "not needed". I not only wish that YELP would make it easier for others to read this response to my review and whether the 5 OTHER ONE STAR REVIEWS received the same type of feedback. I have not thought of EPIC CREAMERY or my experience or to attempt to return and MOST CERTAINLY at this point am quite glad and will continue to do so as EPIC CREAMERY has clearly expressed that they have "NO NEED" for business. What a puzzling business strategy to express in this economic climate and even more discouraging behavior to model to young employees. I wish you all luck in your future endeavors as I will continue to have "NO NEED" to of spending my money or encouraging others to do so there when there are so many much more welcoming and EPIC ice cream shops in this area.

    This place is small, and full of local items for purchase, usually a table in the middle with…read morebakery items for sale, and two long counters full of cakes as well as other baked goods. Not a lot of room to sit, but there is a bit. I have to tell you, the baked goods from this business are absolutely delicious. There's something about the dough that turns into the best king cakes, danish, etc that you'll ever want to eat. There is really nothing I've gotten here that I didn't love. But, what I will also tell you is don't expect overly friendly service. I've been in numerous times, and I can't say that I've been treated greeted or treated with anything other than what felt like I was a just a "next" on the list of things to do. No smiles, no niceties, no happy times, no kind looks. Almost as if helping me was an interruption in their day. And Even when no one else is waiting, there's a feeling of being rushed to make your purchase. Once they even left out part of my purchase in the hurry. I do love the bakery goods here, but I have to ask myself if it's actually worth the feelings I have after each purchase, that comes from the service. This is a 5 Star bakery, with 2 Star Service. Because of these things, It averages out to a 3 in my book.

    The website and Yelp say they are open until 5. Just went there before 4pm. They do NOT stay open…read moreuntil 5! They were closed and one of my options was to come back at 7 am. I'm leaving town tomorrow and came all the way here from Arkansas to get their petite fours but I'm not doing that so I went elsewhere.
