    Duck

    The Hamshire is hands down one of the best dining experiences in downtown Covington. From the moment you walk in, the service is five-star: attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely welcoming without ever feeling over the top. The food? Incredible. The steak tartare is a must-try. Perfectly seasoned and beautifully presented. The steak eggrolls are absolutely addictive and such a fun, elevated twist. And the duck... truly the best I've ever had. Cooked perfectly with amazing flavor! I'm still thinking about it. Their brunch is probably the best I've had in downtown Covington. Everything is fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared. Portions are generous, and the prices feel more than fair for the quality you're getting. If you're looking for a place that consistently delivers amazing food, great portions, and top-tier service, The Hamshire is it. Can't recommend it enough!

    We wanted to try this with my husband's two siblings and their spouses. They don't clearly advertise they open at 4 pm for happy hour. We got there before 5, the signs at the front door advise opening hours of 5 pm. We walked in because the door was ajar, and the hostess and bartender both warmly greeted and welcomed us in. We loved the bar and the drink service we received. The six of us were seated in the dining room. We had reservations for 5:15 pm. The server advised that we needed to put our dinner order in at the same time as our appetizer orders. When questioned why, she advised that is their policy. Felt like we were on a cruise ship. My husband and I both had their filets. They were perfectly cooked, however, the heavy salt content was overwhelming. When we commented to our guests, they advised the sous- chef came from Pardo's. Which made perfect sense to us because we went one time to Pardo's and never returned due to the heavy salt content on their dishes, which we did advise the waiter. When a gentleman at Hampshire asked how we liked our meal, we did speak up and advise about the way too heavy over salting. He said he would talk to the chef. Even our side of spinach was heavily over salted. The restaurant seating and the bar are very attractive.

    We really enjoyed this place! To start, we both got a cocktail, and they brought out complimentary cornbread with a lemon butter. It was great and a nice southern touch! I will say we did wait about 20 minutes until the manager came to our table to ask for our drink order. However, they were pretty busy that night and had only been open for a month. For an appetizer, we got the steak egg rolls which were fantastic!! The sauce on it paired well and the steak had great flavor. I got the lemon-caper chicken which was really good and the broccolini was cooked great. The lobster pasta was okay. We think it was a little bland and needed more seasoning. To end the night, we got the snickerdoodle crème brûlée! It had a slight touch of cinnamon and 2 snickerdoodle cookies on the side. Wow!! The restaurant was pretty big, and they had a couple of private rooms which were nice. They had a pretty decent size bar as well as what looks like an oyster bar. We can't wait to try once oyster season hits! Overall, we enjoyed our food. I will say maybe wait a little bit so their servers and employees can adjust and get the hang of things but we can't wait to go back!

    If you're looking for a place that actually delivers on flavor, this is it. Every single dish tasted like it was made by someone who truly cares. The chef is very personable and the general manager/owner even stopped by my table to make sure everything was great. On top of that, the service is outstanding. The staff is warm, attentive, and genuinely makes you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. They check in without hovering, know the menu well, and make the whole experience feel easy and enjoyable. Between the incredible food and the top-tier service, this restaurant has absolutely earned a spot on my favorites list. I can't wait to come back.

    Our visit to LUMORA was such a great experience. The restaurant is beautiful, very aesthetically…read morepleasing, and has a really nice atmosphere. We started with the chicken wings with honey barbecue sauce. The wings were cooked perfectly and had a good flavor. Next were the bacon wrapped shrimp and these were one of my favorite items of the night. The hot honey sauce was so good and the presentation made them even better. The cheese pull and sauce dripping down really sealed the deal for me. Easily a 10/10. The brussels sprouts completely surprised me because they were SO good. They were topped with pecans, cranberries, pepper jelly, and parmesan cheese, and all of the toppings worked so well together to elevate the flavor of the brussels sprouts. Perfectly cooked and full of flavor. I've been back just for those alone. 10/10. I also tried the Bayou Mac & Cheese which was creamy, flavorful, and cooked well. My only complaint is that it was topped with tomatoes, which wasn't listed on the menu, so I would've asked for it without them, but no big deal. We also had the Cajun Pasta which was good as well. Everything came out hot & Overall, the service was excellent, everything we had was really enjoyable, and the experience matched the aesthetic of the restaurant. I'd definitely return.

Lumora is…read morerelatively new and is by the same folks responsible for The District in Ponchatoula, which is one of our favs. Located on Highway 190, Lumora has a stylish, contemporary persona that is decidedly upscale, but still possesses a comfortable, laid-back vibe that is quite appealing. Service was friendly and efficient and Taylor took excellent care of us. General Manager Josie dropped by our table to share info on Lumora and her visit was appreciated. There is a full bar and a wide selection of specialty cocktails. Today I had a Blood Orange Mezcal Margarita and my wife had an Ex-Presso Martini. Both were great! I highly recommend the Mezcal spice served up on the Margarita's rim in place of the standard salt. We then enjoyed the Zydeco Eggroll appetizer, which the pepper jelly garnish made truly memorable. I then followed with the Buffalo Chicken Pinsa and my wife had the Hot Honey Pepperoni Pinsa. Both were excellent; hot, pleasantly spicy, and generously portioned. We took home a lot of food. Although we had no room for dessert, several on the menu looked quite sumptuous. In short, Lumora Kitchen and Bar is highly recommended! It's a great spot for lunch, happy hour drinks, or a special date night. We will return.

    We really enjoyed Tchefuncte's!…read more They have their own parking lot, so it made it very easy to get in and out. You just park, the go inside, and the restaurant is on the 2nd floor. The service was phenomenal! It was for an anniversary, and they made sure to tell us happy anniversary, and add it to a little sign that was left on our table. Now for the main part: the food. Fried Oysters and Pork Belly - very good, if you get this make sure you eat them together (that was our "best bite" for that serving). Wedge Salad - one of the best wedge salad's we have had. The blue cheese dressing was creamy (rather than chunky blue cheese). It had crispy shoestring onion strings that almost acted as the croutons. I loved every bite that included lettuce, tomatoes, onion, and bacon. Delmonico Steak - this was probably our overall favorite item. Just a great steak, and large enough for both of us to enjoy. Redfish - this was good, not great. Would probably try something else other than this if we went back. Tchefuncte Potatoes - they almost were like a twice baked potato (flavor wise), but they are super creamy and fluffy and then turned into a lightly fried ball. Good and very unique. Crème Brûlée - if you like crème brûlée then you will enjoy it here. A classic dessert that was delicious. And to top it all off, the ambiance was great. It is right on the water, and service was very attentive.
