    Avocado toast and grits with debris at Girls Brunch
    Tami D.

    I had a great time here for Sunday brunch. The girls requested cranberry mimosas and wow, were they good. Of all the things on the menu, I got the avocado toast and a side of grits and debris gravy. The avocado toast was good with a balsamic drizzle and the grits and debris were good, as well. The next time I visit, I'm getting the biscuits and gravy and a side of bacon. I got to sample one and the white gravy was outstanding.

    Love their spinach & artichoke dip! Especially the gigantic fried tortillas to dip with! This place never disappoints. Been coming here for years.

    My wife and I returned to the Fat Spoon in Covington and enjoyed another great breakfast. She had her fav the Greek omelet and I had the Eggs NOLA specialty. Both were great, as was the coffee, and the service was friendly and efficient. Can be crowded and a little noisy at times, in diner-like surroundings, but the Fat Spoon is one of the best breakfasts on the Northshore.

    I wanted to give them a higher score, but.... Took my husband here for his birthday. I wanted to try a new place. You could see the restaurant from the he street, very bright and big sign. Parking was great, its in a strip mall. The restaurant was clean inside and out. The restroom was also clean...tv's on all 4 corners of the restaurant. So, why did I give it a 3? We walked into the restaurant and was not greeted. The girl behind the counter never acknowledged us. We took a seat because you can pick your own seat and it. But none of the staff greeted... It took a minute before the young lady came, she was nice but I wouldn't say friendly, but cordial. The food was good. I had the avocado toast, which was tasty, but I could have done without the balsamic that was drizzled on it. It was really thick. My husband had the grits, eggs, sausage and a waffle. He liked it, but he said the waffle was a little dry. Oh yeah! They only have whole milk, no other options. It's not a bad spot, I would say try it because you might have a better experience.

    This location is pretty bad I won't be back. I simply ordered two eggs over easy, a biscuit, ham and hashbrowns. The biscuits come out cold because they sit in a basket on the shelf in the kitchen because the Cook is too lazy to keep them warm. He's also too lazy to make fresh hashbrowns because he takes frozen french fries and cuts them up a little pieces, and they're terrible and cold for some reason the ham even came out cold. The only thing decent were the eggs they were cooked perfectly. I'd fire the Cook get somebody somebody in there that knows what they're doing and it might actually get better but the staff is not very friendly either. They've got lots of problems that's all I can say.

I certainly appreciate them making it work. Crazy Pig has an excellent menu for breakfast with lots of different options We went on a Sunday morning I got one of the omelettes I think mine was the lean omelette Everything comes with bread and or biscuit I can't eat bread or biscuit so our waiter offered me avocado and tomatoes, which were a perfect choice to go with my omelette Most restaurant places that I've been to usually just remove the item without offering a substitution I was so happy with the alternate options I spoke with the owner to let her know that I appreciate having the tomato and the avocado instead of the bread and the biscuit. Then she told me that they just had a class on food allergies This is really exceptional that a restaurant is taking up their own initiative to learn about food allergies so that they can service their customers with better care While the food is definitely excellent with the capacity to offer different options for the different dietary needs that people have and the staff is educated, I just wish that they had better coffee at the Mandeville location like a cappuccino or a café latte Still an excellent choice

    Met some friends out for dinner here, and we were really excited about finally trying this place…read morebased on the Yelp reviews and pics. It was better than we had expected. The establishment itself is located in a cozy little spot in downtown Covington. Tastefully decorated and full of natural light, The Gloriette is a charming, upscale little spot that boasts "a taste of European tradition, a touch of Louisiana soul." And they're not wrong. Our reservations were for 7pm and we were promptly seated upon arrival. Our drink and appetizer orders were taken by our server shortly after arriving. To start, the four of us decided to share the honey goat cheese spread and confit pork belly (of which, I somehow neglected to take pictures for some reason...). Both were spectacular. My Sazerac was perfectly made, and my wife really enjoyed her watermelon sugar cocktail, which she specifically noted as not being too sweet. I'm not big on presentation because I'm a pretty simple guy. But when our entrees arrived I couldn't wait to dig in. Everything looked absolutely delicious. My wife chose the braised beef short ribs, our friends chose the filet mignon and the blackened gulf fish, and I opted for the grilled red fish. I only had a small bite of my wife's short ribs but it melted in my mouth. And my grilled red fish paired with the basil pesto pearl pasta was phenomenal. The North Shore is loaded with great restaurants and The Gloriette falls right in line with the rest of them. Truly a great experience from beginning to end.
