Tonight I stumbled into Ripple looking for a glass of wine and ended up finding exactly what I…read moredidn't know I needed. From the moment I sat down at the bar, owner Matt and the bartenders made me feel genuinely welcome. They took the time to learn my name, offer recommendations, and check in throughout the evening without ever being overbearing. It's a rare gift to make a solo guest feel seen while still giving them space to enjoy their own company. The food was outstanding. I ordered the baked brie with the honeycomb (trust me, get the honeycomb) and every bite was delicious. The combination of warm brie, puff pastry, honey, and nuts was incredible. Matt's wine recommendation was equally spot on. What impressed me most, though, was the atmosphere. Ripple strikes the perfect balance between sophisticated and comfortable. Whether you're on a date, catching up with friends, or simply enjoying a quiet evening alone, you'll feel right at home. I arrived as a first-time guest and left feeling like a regular. Covington is lucky to have this place. I'll definitely be back.

The bread from Allez Bakery that comes with the board is outstanding. Look forward to visiting again.

I ordered their sauvignon Blanc on their menu - was quite delicious. We had also ordered the pick 4 charcuterie and it came with so much and it was so beautiful. You can see the pictures for yourself! I feel this is such a hidden gem in Mount lookout - people need to come here! They do their best to source their wines from smaller vineyards because the quality is just better where you don't end up with a headache or high blood pressure at the end of the night LOL.

We went to Cork N Crust on a Friday just before 6 p.m. and were seated right away, which was a…read moregreat start for a busy night. Service wasn't the fastest, but everyone was friendly and welcoming. What really stood out for me was the vegan menu. I was genuinely excited to see solid options, and I'd absolutely go back just to work my way through more of them. I ordered the Vegan Chardonnay pizza -- bianca sauce, roasted garlic, roasted mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes, vegan cheese, and rosemary. I'm usually not a white sauce person, but this one completely won me over. It was rich, flavorful, and balanced in a way that made every bite interesting without feeling heavy. The crust was also excellent -- that perfect mix of airy and crisp. Bonus: the leftovers reheated surprisingly well in a dry pan on the stove. The only downside was the garlic... and I mean seriously heavy. I smelled like garlic for a full 24 hours afterward, despite brushing, mouthwash, showering, and mints. Not subtle. Still, I'd order it again without hesitation. Worth it.

We wanted to try something new, to us…read more We decided on Cork N Crust for a meal with some friends. The pizza is very good. We had a Chardonnay and a Bellevue pizza along with an apple dessert pizza and some meatballs as an appetizer. The pizza was great. Generous toppings, nice sauces, thin but not crispy crust. The apple pizza was okay. Dare I say on par with CiCi's apple pizza, only smaller and much more expensive. The meatballs were tasty, decent marinara. But the balls were small. For the price I expected something bigger. Service was adequate. The dining room was comfortable. We found street parking right in front. Not sure if they have a lot. Overall, the move from three to four stars was the pizza. A little pricey, but worth it.

This place has been on my list for a good bit and I am happy that we finally got to go. We had a 6:15pm reservation and we were able to find parking right out front on the street. Paid for parking in the parking app. We walked in and we were greeted immediately. The hostess took us to our table and asked if we had been there before and then explained how everything would go. This is a slow food place, no hurry and no worry. You order everything up front and then they course it out for you, dining took us about 2 hours and 15 minutes. It was perfect. They brought their house made sourdough bread to the table to get us started and the butter served with it was super soft, don't you just hate when you get ice cold butter? I do so this was a great way to start. We also ordered a cocktail to start, my friend had the Newport Old Fashioned and I ordered the Yunque. I liked the Old Fashioned better than the Yunque but both were good. Later in the meal my friend had a glass of wine and I had the 30A Margarita, the marg was my favorite overall. The menu is prix fixe with some options and included 5 courses. We started with canapés and this was 2 bites, a brioche toast with smoked trout rillettes and pickled onion, and confit potato, beet, chive powder. My favorite was the smoked trout bite but both of these were a great way to start our meal. Next up was the starter and here we had a choice of a mushroom dish or fish fritters. My girlfriend and I went the opposite on this one. I chose the Bacalao fish fritters with remoulade sauce and a citrus jam. Tasty little fritters but these may have been my least favorite dish of the evening. I also tried her mushroom dish and I thought it had a cleaner taste and I liked it as well. Pasta was our next course and we both chose the Duck Agnolotti with fresh ricotta and fried sage. This dish was divine and my favorite of the evening. My friend had the same feeling about this dish as I did and she said were we not in the restaurant she would have licked the bowl! Delicious. Our main was the next course and again we both chose the same, Catalan Seafood Stew with saffron aioli, and friend polenta. This was a seafood stew in a rich tomato base. It included clams, mussels, and a firm white fish. Another plate licking dish. We then were given a palate cleanser of a rhubarb peach sorbet sitting in a pool of olive oil and surprisingly this worked! On to the dessert course, my girlfriend and I ordered differently here, I ordered the chocolate eclair with the flavors of s'mores and she ordered the berry laden quark cheesecake. The chef brought out our desserts and explained them, that was a nice treat. She loved her cheesecake and I am not a fan of cheesecake so I did not try it but I thought my eclair was the perfect size chocolate dessert to end my evening. We would definitely do this again. The menu changes monthly and can be found on their website. In addition they have the Mercantile across the street where they offer their sourdough bread on Saturdays so we will be back to shop and take home some fresh sourdough.
