This is a solid spot for patrons seeking a limited menu with a chill vibe. It is important to note they have a rotating, seasonal menu, which also means you cannot locate their present menu online nor can you rely on that to decide what you'll have when you're there. I speak from experience as the hanger steak my brother saw online and wanted (which made us pick this restaurant) was not available this particular evening. On to the better stuff: I really liked their welcoming vibe and relaxed atmosphere. Complimentary sourdough bread was immediately served as well as celebratory champagne for my little brother's birthday. We started with the hush puppies appetizer and the French onion dip, which came with a bag of Zappo's potato chips. For dinner, I ordered the four cheese pasta, which I was informed is made in-house and is leaving the menu very soon. My only complaint was the size of the wine pours. When I inquired, they stated the pour was 6 ounces. The kind surprise was a generous top off when they sensed my disappointment. Their kids' menu -which isn't printed - is a little limited. Kids can pick from grilled cheese, chicken skewers, and a hamburger. One kiddo had a hamburger and my son snacked on their shoestring fries. All other adults ordered burgers and everyone seemed to enjoy their dinner. One more complimentary surprise showed up near the end of dinner which was a miniature Keylime pie in celebration of my brother's bday. Back home, we have very few restaurants that offer so many complimentary items. That definitely sets this restaurant apart from others. Also, having a small menu means they likely give lots of attention to the entrees they serve. Definitely recommend City Pharmacy! read more

Came here for dinner for our second night in Covington. Not too busy for a Friday night, we were able to walk in and quickly be sat. For drinks we ordered the cloud atlas (off menu) and a vodka gimlet, gimlet was good but a little off balance. Complimentary corn bread was pretty tiny and a bit dry. For entree we ordered the crab cakes and shrimp and grits, both very tasty and the stars of the night. Highly recommend. We still had some room for dessert so tried the chocolate molten lava cakes, mine not so lava like but still tasty! read more

This place is delightful! Located right in the Covington square the area offers plenty of street parking. The ambiance is so nice! The restaurant is so well decorated. It's versatile and appropriate for a date night or a business dinner. I went on a Wednesday evening and it wasn't too packed. I initially sat at the bar where I had the gin pear cocktail. It was outstanding! Then I sat at the restaurant area where I ordered the catfish with broccolini and sweet potato pure, two of the guests ordered the salmon and loved it and one of the guests ordered the daily special which was the meatloaf and it looked delicious (a bit on the heavier side side) for after dinner drink I had an espresso martini and it did not disappoint. Service was also outstanding. Servers and bartenders were knowledgeable and attentive. Worth every penny! read more

Super cute location but everything else was lacking. The food wasn't great for the price and our waitress didn't attend to us very well. All she did was fill our water glasses when we arrived and took our food order. We only had water and she never refilled our glasses. We were visiting from out of town for the day. This really could be a great spot but some changes need to be made. read more

Located in the charming square, this restaurant has all of your basic food and drinks and is worth checking out if you have a lot of time on your hand. The wait to be seated with no reservations on a weekend was fast but that's the last time they'll be fast. It took well over 15 minutes to be served water and an extra 30 minutes for them to take our order. Seeing as how they were packed, I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt and ordered something light and easy (Caesar salad) and unfortunately that took even more time to come out. Our waiter barely checked in on us while we were seated outside and it was not as pleasant as I would have wanted things to go. The food was decent but I wouldn't visit again. read more

Stayed in the area for a couple of days and adored the town of Covington! There were only a few restaurants in the town square area so we decided to try City Pharmacy. With such a unique name, we had to try it! Very cozy restaurant. It was during the dinner rush hour but service left a sour taste. The waiter did the best he could, but it was perhaps the kitchen that couldn't keep up. It took almost three hours to receive our burgers. Sorry to say, but we won't be returning. read more

This was my first time here and I will 10000% come back! The service was phenomenal and our waitress Aneissia was amazing. Super friendly and sweet. Originally we were seated next to a big party and asked to move (it was pretty empty) and they were more than accommodating. The service was 10/10.. which was surprising because I was literally in sweatpants and thought they would deny us. For drinks we got a bottle of wine (you can take the bottle home if you don't finish it) and I loved that! They gave complimentary corn bread and butter.. it was a little dry for my liking and also super tiny lol. I got the fried chicken and it was delicious! The green beans and potato puree complimented the dish perfectly. I did add some hot sauce and my mouth is watering just thinking about it again lol We got a side of fries which came with this bleu cheese sauce. SO SO SO GOOD! And this is coming from someone who HATES bleu cheese. The ambience was great! Definitely a great spot for a date night or girls night out. We had the best time! read more

I've been a long time patron of this fabulous establishment- I take my out of town guests here, it's wonderful each and every time. (Especially the service! Thank you Noah!) However, I'm a little concerned by the recent disappearance of several of my favorite menu items that I would assume were popular with other guests, as well. The Brussel Sprouts!? Risotto?! Scallops?! All gone. It honestly makes me question if I want to come back so often in the future; I was so sad tonight when I saw the absence of the Brussels. (SO good!) I worked in the restaurant industry in various capacities for many years, and I get that there are multiple factors involved in menu item selection, so I'm not judging at all. I guess I'm just disappointed that my favorites are all gone. Consider bringing them back?? Thank you so much! read more

We love to come in and sit at the bar and enjoy the atmosphere, I wished they would put one in our town of Monticello. It's a low key classy place that has nice adult beverages and chef prepared food. They often change the menu so it's a good surprise everytime. The prices can be on the upper end for the location but that also keeps the environment low key. We have been in 6-7 times and it has not disappointed yet. The staff is friendly and attentive. If you are looking to get out and enjoy a good meal that's not the norm you need to try City Pharmacy! read more

RUN DON'T WALK!!! Do not waste your time at this establishment. I won't call it a "restaurant" because it's hardly that. The waiter was ignorant, they were out of everything at 730, we sat for ONE HOUR before we received a morsel of food, and the food SUCKED. I'm not kidding you, trust me on this. Their "excuse" will be "it was Master's week". But sorry, Master's week falls at the same time every year. Don't act like it's new. The place is dingy and the waitstaff is SURLY! I rarely write reviews from the table, but this one was warranted. , read more

Oysters were fresh and cold, great items to add to them for some additional flavor. The wedge salad was very refreshing and flavorful. The shrimp and grits was yummy and well cooked. The silver pineapple was well balanced but a bit small in its size which was the only disappointment of the meal. Highly recommend and great service! Ambiance was modern with touches of vintage - cute furtive and bar. Great playlist also! I would definitely stop in and if I come back to Covington I'll be back for sure! read more

Perfect spot for a date night away from the kids or a classy girls' night out. The crafted cocktails are top tier--delicious, creative, and beautifully made. I especially love their brunch menu, and the dinner menu switches things up with fresh, seasonal options, which keeps it exciting. Service is always on point. The decor is modern with a touch of vintage charm, super cute and cozy inside. Whether you're going for brunch or dinner, it always feels like a little treat. Highly recommend if you're looking for great food, good vibes, and a break from the usual. read more

4th time in and our worst visit yet. Last time in the food was awful and half the restaurant smelled like bleach throughout our entire meal. super unappetizing. Our most recent (and last - we're done) visit started off with our server telling us he was exhausted and couldn't wait for the night to end. Weird way to welcome guests. The menu had been reduced to 4 entrees, and he neglected to tell us they were out of 2 of them. Everything we ordered (or tried to) they were out of, including one of their specialty drinks HE HAD SUGGESTED. Then the server tried to blame us for our "late" 8pm reservation (which the restaurant had given us when we made the reservation over a month ago). So unimpressed with the turn this spot has taken. We weren't walk-ins. You knew to expect us and you had several other parties come in after us. We could excuse away a bad night - it happens and we understand that. But repeated poor performances suggests a larger underlying issue. Sadly, it seems City Pharmacy is no longer viable or reliable. One star. Would not recommend. read more

Perfect service in a quaint location. The peel and eat shrimp were deveined which was a nice touch. Soft shell crab was a special item and a solid choice. Trout and tortellini were both enjoyed by our group. We made reservation and are glad we did I. read more

Came to celebrate my birthday. Both my husband and I ordered the filet. His came out perfect MED RARE however my MED came out as you can see. Server did have the kitchen re make it however then it can't out RARE. After the second time back to the kitchen it was perfect. scallops literally MELT in your mouth. Mash was the perfect consistency. I was also happy they were out of the usual carrots because I love asparagus. I would return for scallops and to try their oysters. But if I want steak I'll probably go to a steakhouse. read more

This is a cool New American spot on the square. We ate at the bar and enjoyed shrimp, oysters, and crab dip for appetizers. The shrimp was cold and fresh. The crab dip was really good...nice and cheesy. The drinks were trendy and reasonably priced. I had my first real espresso martini and it was delish! For my meal, I opted for a salad and the potatoes au gratin. Truthfully the potatoes weren't my fave and the salad wasn't as good as it should have been for one made with apples and candied pistachios. I think it was missing a better paired cheese like goat or blue cheese (it came with Parmesan.). My partner had beef tips, which he said was good. Our family also had the meatloaf which was a hit. Overall this is on my list when I visit Covington for the drinks alone. The service was also good - a very friendly staff! read more

So the first I went to city pharmacy I had their grilled pork chop with mash potatoes and it was amazing so I came back! This round of food really wasn't that great. I had the meatballs that were just okay. I also thought who can mess up pesto and burrata, wellllll. I wasn't impressed at all. I will say the drinks here are really good and so is the mash potatoes. My husband had the salmon and just like everything else it was just okay. It's a local spot so I will return to give it another chance since they hit it out of the park the first time we actually visited! They also have an outdoor seating area which is always lively during the summer. The inside decor is amazing and I also like the bar area. read more

The experience here was hit and miss. Though our server was decent. The hostess kept trying to cluster everyone right beside one another, and guests were asking to be seated at other tables. If it was crowded, I could understand, but it had yet to get to that point. Anyway, the Tortellini was apex, couldn't get any better, and the Brussel sprouts were very good, but the shrimp and grits were too thick and tasted too much like Rasta pasta. The shrimps were also overcooked. I had to switch meals with my date, because I had the Tortellini. I'd go back for the Tortellini. Definitely wouldn't order the shrimp and grits read more

What happened to you guys. Used to be our favorite go to for happy hour and out of town family. Now menu is chopped to nothing and happy hour is practically non existence.

My friend and I went in for dinner tonight with a reservation for 5:30pm It was a set menu, we knew that. No bread, no salad, we were told no food until 6:15pm and it turned out to be 6:40pm! 1 hour 10 minutes to get an appetizer. They served everyone at the same time, cruise style. Now it's 8pm and the 4th course finally came out: lobster linguine I spit my out, being from Rhode Island for 50 years, I know lobster! Well under cooked! 2 and half hours and starving - $200+ and still hungry! They turned people away at the door who could have had drinks at the bar. The kids burger and fries would have been fantastic! This food was too foofooshalay - tried to be fancy & it flopped big time Had they run their regular menu and bar service they would have made more $ and had happier customers. The customers were politely very disappointed as most were regulars and really like the manager & staff. read more

City Pharmacy FTW! Kalani and Russ are my go to bartenders, extremely welcoming, attentive and personable. They added beautiful new local art to their dining area, the ambiance they create here is a place you WANT to be.

My top few favorites are the oysters, meatloaf, and any of the daily specials the staff recommends! read more

Stopped in about an hour before closing on a Saturday night with a friend and got seated right away at the bar, which we preferred. Hostest and I'm assuming manager were nothing but sweet. Bartender was very helpful in answering my questions and helped me choose a great cocktail. She was also mostly patient when taking our order but it was a little obvious she was ready to leave. Understandably. The bar was packed when we arrived and the atmosphere was lively. Appreciated that they weren't pushing patrons out the door as closing time was approaching though everyone, including us, left on time. We didn't order anything to eat since we dropped by right after visiting Mystic Grill but the drinks we did have were very well made. Definitely will come back if ever in the area and will be recommending read more

Went last night with my wife and I have to say we were not impressed or unimpressed. We started with the Fire cracker shrimp....bland no flavor (the dipping sauce was the star there). She had the nachos, again no real flavor, not good nor bad. I had the shrimp and grits, grits were fine but the shrimp no seasoning which almost made them taste old. She had a lemon drop martini that was good. The wait staff was outstanding I must say. For the price we paid I would probably not go back on my own as that was too much for the quality we received. read more

Thankfully we had reservations as the restaurant was full! Our waitress came right over greeted us. She took our drink order. What's brunch without a few cocktails? We shared an "appetizer" of the bread pudding. It was delish! For entrees, the table was split. Two of us had the eggs Benny and two had the Sunday biscuit. The biscuit sandwich was huge! Fried chicken with pepper jelly on a homemade biscuit. Very savory and so large they couldn't finish it. Perfect combination of flavors. The egg Benedict is the most popular item on the menu and rightly so. Smoked salmon and capers combined with the hollandaise was definitely tasty. My only disappointment was my poached eggs were overcooked. Service was great and overall the meal was delicious. I would definitely come back. read more

Food is good. But service is TOO. DAMN. SLOW. We had a 4:30 reservation on a Tuesday afternoon. We are the only patrons at a table and it is 5:30 and we have yet to receive our entrees. (There are folks at the bar) What the what??? Happy hour specials/drinks are solid. But this is just crazy. It's been like this the last 2 visits. I'm not understanding what the hold up is. We ordered the happy hour oysters ($1/ ea), wings and firecracker shrimp. All were tasty. Entrees; Scallops, prime rib and kids cheeseburger were also flavorful but took almost 30 minutes to come out. After a couple of drinks, appetizers and a full meal, I excused my self to visit the restroom. There's a single stall in both the men and women's room and a server popped in just before I got there. After waiting for about 10 minutes and listening to her talk on the phone the whole time- I chose the men's room and relieved myself. It was clean. I came declined dessert and paid the bill. A bit pricey, but it was a celebration so, cie la vie. We won't be back for a long time. read more

I was visiting a friend who recommended we eat at City Pharmacy and I'm so glad she did. We each started with a glass of wine (the Riesling was great) and decided to share a few of small plates for our meal. We ordered the charcuterie, brussel sprouts, pumpkin gouda soup and a salad. Everything was wonderful, the charcuterie board had a great assortment of meats and cheese along with pickled and / or sweetened items. A bread option for the charcuterie would probably be the only thing I felt I was missing. The soup was hearty and filling and brussels were delicious as well. We were lucky to be seated right away and there are plenty of places to explore before or after you eat around the restaurant. read more

The ambiance was great. The eggs benedict would have been great had it been made with shaved ham (stated on menu) instead of horribly salty country ham. Twenty percent gratuity was added to our tabs.
