The atmosphere made it a fun place to relax and enjoy the evening. Service was good and the staff were attentive and welcoming.

I would definitely come back.

The Greyhound has always exhibited a polished ambiance, but I noted tonight that evening brings an enhanced air of elegance. It's really quite nice and very suitable for a special occasion or a date night. Service was excellent as always and I enjoyed their very crisp and tasty kale Caesar salad and an excellent French onion soup, accompanied by a nice white wine. Dinner at the Greyhound is supported by a full bar, a good wine list, a nice selection of specialty cocktails and a selection of sumptuous desserts. The Greyhound is high on my list of fine dining spots in Covington.

No flush, no sink noise (maybe hid there for break time) our waitress was rude during ordering. Food was not very tasty. Our party of 3 felt underwhelmed, especially for the price. We live in Mandeville and our friends in Covington...said they always skip this place, I now know why. The burger was one of the worst, the tacos were just average and good luck getting any refills on a drink.

I was going to get the redfish till I inquired if it was wild caught or farm-raised. It is farm-raised. Really?!? We live in Louisiana and the dish is $38! Boulevard needs to make a change there. Instead I opted for the kale salad and a side of broccolini. The broccolini was hard and a bit biter. We did have the spinach and artichoke dip for an appetizer and that was delicious! I was surprised that the waitress brought the receipt without even asking us if we needed anything else. I think she was ready to leave as her shift must've been over. I won't be running back here anytime soon. I feel there are plenty better options in our area for a good meal.

Noting specifically special, but their service is where they stand out. Cheyenne was our server and she was great at remembering everything and serving us in such a quick and efficient manner. The reason why I am writing this is truly because we all watched the halftime show together and it felt like an experience I would have in my own home.

Celiacs, rejoice! There's a spot in town for us…read more My husband is Jewish and has wanted to try Tavi for awhile. The problem is we live in Houston and only come to the area to see my parents twice every year. On our final night, he said he wanted to go to Tavi. Wish granted. We got a reservation on Open Table (highly recommend) and headed that way. Will was our server (and was also the bartender). He was incredible. He explained how the kitchen has a dedicated fryer for gluten-free items so celiacs and gluten intolerant folks won't react. Words cannot express how much that means to us. Additionally, they could do the fried chicken hummus and use rice flour to bread it instead of wheat. We ordered it. Upon arrival, it was so incredibly good. They brought fresh vegetables (crudite) to use instead of pita (it's $8, but they are homegrown and fresh). My husband, who can have all the gluten in the world, enjoyed his with pita. He put it on his plate. The pita also came with olive oil and is made in house. You can watch them bake it in the wood-fired oven. The pita is also the base for the flatbreads. When it came time to order our real food, I got the shrimp and subbed couscous for the rice. It was like a fried Israeli rice with pistachios. Lots of crunch and excellent. The shrimp came in a New Orleans style bbq sauce. I could have drank just the sauce (and taken some years off of my life cause it was butter). My husband had the lamb shawarma since they were half off on Saturday. His came with fries. He was so impressed. If you come and split an appetizer, you could easily split a shawarma. The portions are huge (not on the shrimp, though). You definitely need reservations if you have a larger party. It's not too loud inside, but there's ongoing chatter in the background. I'd also recommend planning on staying at least an hour. They won't rush around. Parking can be a pain, so allow extra time for that. We will definitely be back!!
