Today, we enjoyed a Valentine's Day lunch at Lumora Kitchen and Bar in Covington. Lumora is relatively 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. read more

The food was delicious,except the bacon wrapped shrimp under cooked. Unfortunately, the service was incredibly bad and really took away from the experience. We were a table of 7, ordered appetizers, and were brought the check immediately after--before anyone ever asked if we wanted entrees or dessert. It felt extremely rushed and unwelcoming. The servers were rude, inattentive, and made us feel like they just wanted us out of there. To make matters worse, we were overcharged, and my credit card was run before I was even shown the final bill, which is completely unacceptable. Great food, but the service needs serious improvement. Sadly, that alone would keep me from returning. Disappointed coming from southshore for Christmas dinner.. owner of this restaurant, really needs to get with his staff! read more

Went for a girls night out for a birthday dinner. So good! All the things: the vibe, the table settings, the atmosphere, the drinks, the food, the service- it was all so good! The food portions are generous and the drinks are fun and good. The manager, Esteban is so friendly and made sure we were taken care of. The entire wait staff did a great job. Nice to have a fun place that is opened on a Monday! Will be back. read more

Went here last night for a Galentines the decor and atmosphere was intimate. Low lighting and really cutesy. Our server was amazing and handled our table of 10 with ease. She knew the menu well and helped us make tie breaker decisions when we wanted it all lol . The food was really good the only notes i had was the seafood dip was described as creamy but it came out more soupy. A few of our dishes came with mashed potatoes and the consistency of the mash was more of a potato soup. The flavors of the dishes were definitely on point so we only exchanged the mash for fries. I truly enjoyed my experience so i will be back read more

Glad we found this restaurant. The ambiance is amazing. The service we received was over the top. We love trying different versions of Brussel Sprouts and Lumora has easily one of the best versions we have tried. The menu has some unusual offerings from fried rice to bayou mac and cheese. They offered a loaded baked potato soup that is more like a casserole than a soup. The Mac and Cheese was very rich with seafood and cheese. They have a very attractive bar and we look forward to trying it out on our next visit. Pricing was reasonable. read more

LUMORA - Espresso Martini - New American Near Me - Covington, Louisiana

Another great restaurant located on the Northshore! When you first walk in you will notice a modern decor. The ambiance is perfect for a date night, drink with the girls, or just dinner. My sister hosted her birthday dinner here which was also a plus. They are great with large parties and the food comes out very fast. Our server was amazing. He was able to recommend some tasty items on the menu anf let us know what othet customers have be raving about. For appetizers we started of with the eggrolls, seafood dip and honey bbq wings. (Thats what i took pictures of) we also ordered buffalo wings. Every appetizer that was ordered were awesome and very flavorful. The wings are a great sizenot those drumlettes size. The seafood dip was hot and creamy with tons of seafood. For entees: we ordered the Cajun pasta, smothered catfish, hot honey pepperoni flatbread, cajun chicken fried chicken, truffle butter skirt, and crawfish and shrimp gouda grits. When I say everything was amazing I mean everything. If I had to say my least favorite it would be the skirt steak. Its small and the truffle butter was different. But besides that the actual steak was good. The reason why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 were based on drinks. The mix drinks were very disappointing. There was no consistency in the drinks. I ended up just ordering a bottle of wine. I do think they should add more white wine to the list. Besides that, this is a great restaurant to try. Will def be back. read more

Great ambience it would be a really good place to bring a date. The lighting is very romantic. The booths are velvet so they're very comfortable. I think it would be a great place to go for drinks and has a beautiful bar but unless you like new age very out of the box thinking for food it's probably not gonna be your kind of place. In fact they cannot even serve you french fries as a side I don't understand that at all. read more

Food was so so good!! Drinks were really good too, shower pretty over priced. But, you are paying for the atmosphere, which is definitely worth it. I went for my birthday and it was a great experience. I will say, service was slow, but I'd still definitely go again! read more

Awesome food atmosphere and staff are amazing. Prices are very reasonable for the experience Craftsman cocktails amazing read more

I had lunch there today. The restaurant is beautiful inside and feels like a fancy happy hour spot. I arrived at opening so it was slow as service was ramping up but the server was very kind/helpful. I tried the zydeco rolls and the pistachio salmon which came with a strawberry balsamic salad. The food was good and this restaurant deserves its spot on the northshore. I hope to try LUMORA again for dinner with drinks as I think that is the true experience test. read more

Lumora is seriously impressive. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between upscale and inviting. I had the seafood dip and buffalo chicken wrap, both were packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. You can tell they take pride in making guests feel right at home. Prices are surprisingly affordable for how nice everything is. The interior is beautiful, modern, and thoughtfully designed. You get a fine dining feel without the steep prices. I'll definitely be back. If you're anywhere near Covington, this place is a must visit. read more

If you're looking for a good date night spot then this is it. I only have a few small recommendations. First, I would take your time ordering. They ended up bringing all of our food out at the same time. Starters and entrees came out at the same time. Then rushed and took the plates away when we weren't finished. Their French fries, Brussels, and drinks were amazing. The bread pudding was soggy and the shrimp appetizer was just basic (great presentation). We felt super rushed. Ruined it a little due to it being our once in a blue moon night away from the kids but all in all was good. read more

Great food and atmosphere! Would recommend to anyone! Their chicken Cesar salad is 11/10 I will be back! Great service as well!

My coworker and I were looking for food one day when searching up online and we came across this. The first time that we ordered online, we were happy and surprised to see that the General Manager had checked/bagged our bag. We had the bacon wrapped shrimp and it was absolutely amazing especially when we found out that there was a little bit of spice from the poblano pepper. We have been ordering online every Sunday while we're at work read more

New to me. Sunday lunch, not Brunch. This restaurant is 6 months operational and a welcome addition to the Covington US190 corridor. A large, clean, attractive dining area (formerly Mellow Mushroom) --excellent waitstaff, well groomed, attentive, competent resulting in excellent service. The food/menu is a diverse array of fairly traditional items known to most Northshoreites. My choice was the Pork Fig hamburger. Outstanding. Small cut fries, brioche bun, well seasoned. Gouda cheese, fig jam...well --all good. Great drink selection. This is the place to keep coming home to. Bravo Lumora!! read more

I seldom try a brand new place but my husband and I were in the neighborhood at lunchtime so decided to give it a go and I'm glad we did. The restaurant is beautifully appointed (albeit with more a nightclub vibe than fine dining) and the service is fine. The menu is limited but interesting. The salads are fresh and delicious and the fries are among the best I've had. My only quibble is the burger patties were a little tasteless (nothing beats Kelly's wagu burgers to me!) Anyhow, they will be expanding the menu soon and we will definitely be back for dinner once they've been up and running longer. This is the kind of endeavor I like to encourage on the North Shore! read more

Excellent Choice for a Birthday! We celebrated a birthday at the new Lumora last night, and it was a fantastic experience. The atmosphere was vibrant and beautiful, setting the perfect mood for a special occasion.The service was a highlight of the night. Our server, Ashe, was incredibly knowledgeable and attentive. He offered fantastic recommendations and was always there when we needed something. Overall, Lumora is a fantastic new addition to Covington and an excellent choice for a special occasion. We'll definitely be back to explore more of the menu and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great dining experience. read more

Absolutely loved this place! Amazing food and drinks! Our waitress Hannah was fantastic! read more

Throughly enjoyed everything about this restaurant Food and drinks were so good service and restaurant also premium

Lets just start with don't waste your time or money at this restaurant. They don't have the decency to serve you well or at all.... My group and I (10 people) attended Lumora with high expectations based on what we have heard and read about the place. What we got in return was a scratch of the list for us. 4 of our friends arrived early to the restaurant about 15-20 minutes before the rest of us and were seated as we had a reservation. They were not greeted when arriving and no one make contact with them after they sat down. The total time that it took for a waitress to come to the table for the first time was over 30 minutes and we had to go track someone down. The waitress was rude and could care a less about actually taking care of us or getting our orders right. We placed drink orders and appetizer orders to start. The drinks took 30 -40 minutes to arrive to the table and we all got them at different times and we had to ask about the drinks multiple times as they acted like they forgot what we even ordered. The waitress had to go behind the bar and become a bar tender to get the drinks out t us. The drinks the ladies ordered were fine however this restaurant has no idea how to make an old fashioned. The appetizers came out before the drinks which was not that big of a deal but having a drink would have been nice. The appetizers were fine but its all cheese seafood cream related so if you don't like that then this is not the place for you as everything has this in it including the mains. We placed our order for the main dishes and to be honest its not really all that. The burgers were frozen patties and the fish was absolutely imported. You own a restaurant in one of the seafood capitals of the world and you cant get fresh seafood but you have prices as if it were fresh.....We ordered second drinks and they also took 30+ minutes to arrive to the table. One of our group members ordered a simple hamburger and they forgot to make it and wanted to give it to him after he asked about it several times and then cancelled it as everyone was already finished eating then the best part tried to charge him for something he never even got. No manager came to discuss our issues after voicing our dissatisfaction many times nor did we get a sorry for the issues at all. This was is an absolute swing and a miss. If you are looking for quality food and service DO NOT GO HERE. If you want to look cool ordering a $15 drink that comes in a bird shaped glass to impress your friends than i guess this is a good spot for you but otherwise don't waste your money. Very disappointed in this place and we will not be returning. read more

i got brussels sprouts and it was so so good 10/10 recommend. i also got the lychee cocktail and it was also a 10/10! staff was very nice too, great service. read more

This place has a lounge vibe but the food was surprisingly good and the service was fine at 5p on a Sunday. The waitress did mention their best chef had not shown up in 2 weeks so staffing could be an issue. The salad was delicious and the pinsa (sort of a French bread pizza but lighter and more crisp) was pretty good. The Dubai chocolate martini was just okay and the lovebird cocktail, served in a bird shaped glass, was good. They have cocktails that smoke, bubble and light on fire. I'd go back for sure. Prices were reasonable considering the price of everything these days being exorbitant read more

Great experience and great service! Enjoyed the bacon wrapped shrimp as well as the seafood dip and devoured both. My husband got the truffle butter skirt steak which he thouroghly enjoyed (very well seasoned no need for salt) that came with fries(absolutely delicious). I got the pistachio salmon and omg to die for so good. No matter what temp the flavor of this thing is insane. Which came with the strawberry salad(strikingly awesome with spring mix) very refreshing! Finished with the bits off bread pudding and that was I would say the best part. Perfect way to end the evening and had me yawning. Amazing meal and amazing service. Will definitely be back again! read more

The food was good but the service needs a lot of work! We were here for 1 1/2 hrs and seen our waitress Hannah twice the entire time until it was time for the bill. We had to ask other staff to bring us some appetizer plates when we ordered two of them. They took about 30 mins to get to the table and then another hour for one catfish plate. read more

One of absolute favorite restaurants. The appetizers, the entrees, the cocktails, the staff, the ambiance, are ALL top notch!!! Love it here!! read more

Could not make reservations... sat a 4 top at a 2 top... said it would be be 30 min... no prob... bartenders 2 ignored... when we Finally were greeted by bartender bc my sister in law engaged... we were told no dirty martinis bc no vermouth.... Send someone down the street please this is basic... sat at a two top, told hostess we were 4... it was SUPER dark the bar lights were not on... understaffed heard the bartender complaining that her trash was full... all in all took 3 hrs for a very basic meal... no temps were asked for salmon or skirt steak... overdone to say the lease! I wanted to like this place... but should have left when the bartenders acted like we had the plague! read more

Hubby and I were looking for a Sunday night dinner date and stumbled upon this gem! Beautiful modern interior yet very cozy and chic! Hubs had the salmon and I had the fig and prosciutto pinza. We split the Brussels sprouts. Delicious! So many more yummy dishes we want to try. The drink menu looked amazing but we will save that for a Saturday night! I'm glad we have a new place for Sunday dinner. Go try it. read more

I wanted to like this place. I really really did. When we first entered the hostess asked if we had reservations and grimaced when we said no, but then directed us to the bar to wait. No problem, we don't mind having a drink and waiting. Sat at the bar with only 5 or so other people and after 10 minutes of being ignored finally had to ask the bartender if we could order to which he said "I was about to get to you." It was Hard to read the menu at the bar as the lights weren't on/didn't work. Finally got a drink just in time to be sat. The booth was beautiful, until I scooted in and realized there were crumbs/food all over the seat. Did the busser just wipe everything onto the seat and not properly clean up? But still, we were resolved to give it a go so here we were, patiently waiting. Saving grace was our server Ash, cool guy with great attitude and service. BUT... then there was the food. We ordered the shrimp and Brussels for an app. The shrimp were delicious, but the Brussels that have received so much praise were oily and overcooked. Tasted like fryer oil covered in Parmesan cheese. But still, we were there to give it a fair shake. Ordered the pistachio crusted salmon and the truffle skirt steak. Ash didn't ask us for a temp on the steak, but when we requested rare he graciously said no prob. Still we waited and were optimistic for our dinner entrees. Unfortunately, the disappointment continued. Well done steak and dried out salmon. The highlight was the truffle aioli with the fries and the strawberry salad served with the salmon. Overall, the atmosphere was nice and intimate, Service was hit or miss, and the food was disappointing. Paid way too much money for the experience we had. I hope this place can turn it around, but I won't be back read more

The food and ambiance was a five along with the cocktail menu. We had pinsa(pizza), fried fish, a pear salad and chicken Caesar! All was delicious. Very diverse drink menu with awesome presentations. The only reason I am not giving them a 5 is the service. First l, we asked to sub mash potatoes for French fries. The waiter told us that the computer does not allow substitutions. So we asked for a side of fries. The waiter said they don't sell a side of fries and was directed by the manager. I would have thought the manager could have stopped by and explained or brought fries. We got one round of drinks before the meal and the waiter never came back to see if we wanted another round or check on the meal. I think this was the waiters first job or he was just not trained well. It was not that busy so that is not the reason. If they can improve in customer service, Lumora will be a hit! read more
