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 took a friend here to celebrate her birthday and it was such a nice vibe. It was intimate, the staff was super friendly, the selections of wine was expansive and the charcuterie/ bites menu were very good. 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. High quality stuff here!

We walked by this place on our way to the weekend art fest, and 'twas like 'huh, 1937 eh .. pretty…read morecool'. The place had a bygone era dignity, a european alfresco vibe (a la Sudova), a refined mediterranean food vibe (a la Abigail Street) and there was the whole 1937 thing. When we got there the owner explained this was the descendants of the founder of Gold Start Chili opening this as a homage to his vision of a restaurant as an elevated yet welcoming family place. The place it turns out reflects the fact that they bought what was a refined saloon (where the Brat Boyz might have met in the 50s), along with a decidedly modern vibe in the back. I could ramble on about the food, but the salad makes the point. Everything they have is familiar .. with a twist. The salad is extra fresh because it is a head of romaine artfully sauced with a test for herbivores to practice turkey carving skills. The other dishes mirror that sort of familiar-meets -twist take. Devilled eggs (something I decidedly avoid at buffets) was quite good, with a homemade chili oils and black salt. The staff was quite chill, engaging but not talking your ear off. Much of the staff were childhood buddies who decided (I guess successfully) to test their friendship by going into business to together. The only part I'd quibble is the '1937' thing (it's when the Gold Star owner was born, not 2020 when the restaurant opened). But you know, quibbles get muffled when uttered with a mouth full of Biscoff 'meatloaf' (thick cut) and home made OrangeCello.

The location has street parking that is easier than you might think because Annata does most of its business when the nearby businesses are closed, but there's also a public pay lot across the street. The staff is like Tim - kind and helpful. I love the shop because it's in an old building with real wood floors and plaster walls and it just feels like an actual PLACE. Plentiful seating inside AND there's a killer deck out back that makes you feel like you're in the trees. Chill. The prices are better than fair - they are realistically designed so that you can enjoy good wine without going broke. Food offerings are light and there are not a ton of them but what they offer is always perfect to nosh on with your glass. If you're looking for someplace to enjoy time with friends, get a drink with a date, poke around and get some wine education with Tim, or just enjoy being someplace where you can think and relax and enjoy being a human, for a super reasonable amount of $$, Annata is my choice.
