Excellent service and atmosphere. We were an hour early for our reservation but they sat us right away and gave us our choice of table. The cocktails were very good. The food could have used a bit more seasoning. We had a tuna dish that was heavy on the lime and could've used a touch more salt but it was extremely fresh. Food and drinks are 3.5 stars, service was 4 stars. read more

We enjoyed a delicious dinner here during our one night in Edgartown and loved everything we ordered. Highly recommend the gnocchi and mushroom pasta if on the menu! read more

Literally.....everything on the menu is the best you ever had. Great service, amazing atmosphere. We will be back!

Really great meal. The spicy cucumbers, smoked beets, and pasta were highlights. Excellent cocktails and great service, even with Covid-related staffing shortages. read more

Wasn't good. Period. Paid $80 for a crummy steak. All in over $500. Sucked. Waited forever..

Evan was fantastic! Great service and friendly. Portion sizes are small. We had the shishito peppers which were good, the cheese appetizer which was small and came with honey but was honey on a teaspoon. Very minimalist. The mushroom and pesto pastas were very good but nothing exceptional. We personally loved Isola much more! read more

Nice location on main street but should have realized why there were so many outside tables available. Service was perfunctory and menu suitable. Drinks came out and a wine pour was equivalent to 3 sips. Waiter told us to talk to the manager who said that's their standard pour and that's it. Dinner was okay but portions again were weak. We are not big eaters but do expect a reasonable plate of food. Restaurants differentiate themselves by service and food. Neither was acceptable. Choose one of many other options in town to feel like a valued patron having a meal of value. Not here. read more

Wonderful restaurant to spend an evening. Everything about this restaurant was excellent. We had amazing food, drinks, wine, service, and dessert at the Covington. I would absolutely recommend this restaurant, and look forward to a chance to eat here again. read more

One of the best meals I've had stateside in a long time. I had the panzanella, which had very fresh peas, a mix of herbs and pea shoots, and it was seasoned perfectly. For an entree, I had the mushroom ragu, which was so savory and also perfectly seasoned over homemade pasta -- yum! They have a vegan menu as well as several choices for vegetarians (like me) on the regular menu. They also have plenty of meat and fish options for my friends as well. The atmosphere is very peaceful, with low lighting and an almost fantastical atmosphere, with rustic planking on the walls and whimsical decorations and various lighting fixtures, including lots of candles. There's a small, lit patio with tables for 2 -- very romantic when the weather is warm. Staff were friendly and down to earth. Our waitress was helpful without being intrusive. Bottom line: Go here. You won't be disappointed. read more

The menu is very intimidating. However the wait staff was more than willing to answer any questions we had without making us feel like we were stupid. We ended up with tuna, and Cubans. Both of which were out of this world. The wine and spirts list was great the waitress gave us some samples to make sure we make the correct choice for out tastebuds. read more

BF and I decided to give this place a try after walking by and checking out the menu They have outdoor seating - check Friendly and attentive staff - check Great menu that utilizes local food - check Quick service - check Reasonable prices - check I highly recommend and pretty sure we will be back as well! read more

Great farm to table food, cool vibe and good drinks. Loved the tequila cocktail with the chili and sea salt. Definitely hits on all cylinders and a bonus, service was fast and while it is definitely not that young child appropriate, they had noodles to make my little kids happy, which was a nice touch and allowed us to have an awesome civilized meal :) Perfect date or group spot and was one of our faves. read more

Do not leave the Vinyard without this dining experience. This was hands down some of the most exciting food I have eaten on island in years. The restaurant itself is charming, airly, and intimate. Kelly and her husband have created a truly marvelous restaurant. I will be eating here again, and again and again! read more

My favorite spot in Edgartown! I had to go back one last time before I left the island, specifically for the Katama in the afternoon drink. The bartender Trevor was an artist! The staff was so friendly!! It was great to see the manager helping his team and even working the hostess stand. I highly recommend stopping in to the Covington! read more

We love this place!! The decor is gorgeous, the staff and service is always phenomenal, and the food is great. Perfect place for a quiet dinner or an evening cocktail. It's the chill version of its sister restaurant, Port Hunter. Highly recommend!! read more

If you are looking for fresh, delicious food, give it a try. If you are looking for a fine-dining experience, don't go. Atmosphere is hot and loud. Booth was cramped and we still had trouble having a conversation. If you decide to give it a try, go a cool evening and sit outside. Food is creative but not in an over-the-top way. Nice, fresh flavors. If you're having wine, just be prepared that the servings are small. (I think the menu said 5 oz.) Flourless chocolate cake was amazing. read more

Great place to get drinks. Bar staff outstanding Limited seating great beers on tap read more

My daughter and I ate at The Covington last night and really enjoyed our meal. We elected to sit at the front outside tables and enjoyed watching the vibrant street scene. We loved our waitress Mari! She was extremely professional and friendly. We decided to pay the $3 for the bread and butter and it was delicious! It was a toasted sourdough with creamy butter- yummy! Mari said that the bread was from Morning Glory Farm. I know that there were many reviews about the extra charge for the bread and butter but thought it was totally worth it. We shared the arugula salad (very tasty) and each had a pasta dish. I thought that my pasta, penne with summer squash, was a Winner! Very fresh, light and flavorful! My daughter had the rigatoni with red sauce which she enjoyed. The only criticism is that there was too much red sauce in comparison to the amount of pasta. The portions were perfect. I know that people were complaining about their $22 glass of Chardonnay but there were plenty of other choices of wine by the glass. My Sauvignon was only $12 and delicious. We ordered one of each of the 2 desserts on the menu. The best of the 2 was the honey pie and vanilla ice cream. The chocolate cake was a little too rich and drowning in raspberry sauce but still delicious. We had a great time at The Covington and expect to return. read more

The best meal we had in Martha's Vineyard. Very fresh ingredients, great cocktails, and all around amazing experience. Don't miss this spot!

Great small plate variety and the best selection of whiskeys on Martha's Vineyard. The bar tenders are excellent at their craft of mixing excellent cocktails! read more

If zero stars were an option, I would have chosen it. Martha's Vineyard and Edgartown have become a shakedown, especially dining. The Covington is just the latest, cynical iteration: derivative, overpriced, and insubstantial. If you don't walk out wondering what you just spent $200 for 3-4 people, you obviously have money to burn, because that's effectively what you just did. Saturday night, we waited an hour for the privilege of being seated, famished after driving all day. I finally asked for some bread and butter, and the server stared at me like it was the height of presumption. In fairness, he's been trained to squeeze out profits, by people who feel very entitled to them. They brought exactly 5 tiny pieces of bread. One for each of us. Then we waited. And waited. From the first time they said it would just be another minute, we must have waited 30 more minutes. I can't remember ever waiting like that. One dish was inedible from an excess of salt. $36.00 for their version of the same salmon fillet as everywhere else? All I wanted was to pay and get out as fast as possible. I urge everyone to consider what else they could be doing with that $200, like donating it to a soup kitchen, which could use it to provide 10X more nourishment to 10X more people. This place is just pure vanity. read more

FALSE ADVERTISEMENT. Very overpriced for a piece of kale and some chopped up octopus on my plate. It was fine though props to you.

My two teenaged kids and I ate at The Covington last week and absolutely loved it. The daily special of seared yellowtail on braised greens was the best meal I had during our 10 day east coast jaunt; a dish that would go over quite well in Los Angeles, our home city. Service was superior, helpful and attentive--our waitress brought out two different wines for me to try before serving my fish, really appreciated the effort. The squid ink pasta and mushroom ragu were very good as well. My kids loved the place and food and they are quite discerning when eating out. Can't understand the poor reviews here . . . . read more

Absolutely exceptional at every part of the dining experience. Well mixed cocktails. Incredibly fresh ingredients. The staff were super personable and responsive, always checking in at the right time. Never too long between drinks. It was such a step above some of my recent dining experiences at other island restaurants at this price point. They definitely deserve the business. read more

Phenomenal! My wife and I are there last night. The servers were amazing; the hostess was thoughtful; the food was amazing. Highly recommend the squid ink pasta and the fettuccine with clams. A nice selection of wines by the glass included a Sancerre rose and a Sangiovese red. We'll definitely be back! read more

Try to keep your socks from getting knocked off. There were five of us, and we all loved what we ordered. The broccoli and broccolini, both crostini, squid ink pasta with smoked trout roe and egg yolk, scallops out of the shell and served with its own roe, fluke, and even the steak for two were all sublime. Every bite was tasty and well planned. The service was friendly but not overly so, prompt, and efficient. The decor was casually elegant. I'd go there every night if I could. Highly recommend for any special occasion. read more

Easily the best restaurant on the island. From the wine list through the dessert, everything was perfect. The outdoor seating is off of the Main Street and under a pergola which makes it quite fun. read more

This is probably the best restaurant on Martha's Vineyard this year, slightly above my previous favorites, Beach Road and State Road. The food is rustic--so not a competitor of the high technique Michelin starred type of restaurant. Everything we had was interesting. The stars of our meal were the pickled honeysuckle oyster crostini, the ceviche, the pasta with pork ragu and the broccolini. The restaurant space is very attractive and pleasant though too noisy for my taste. read more

It is clear that the chef values and accentuates the quality of the locally grown ingredients. The oyster crostini is unlike any other. A must have. The porterhouse for two was the best steak I've ever had, my girlfriend ate the whole thing. read more

This place was wonderful! The ease of making a reservation, the follow up phone call in confirming my reservation, and the food was fabulous!!! The atmosphere was lovely! Mari was our server and she was TOP NOTCH! We will most definitely go again! The only reason that I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because I would have liked to see more menu options, but hey, that's just me. read more

Had a small bite to eat at the bar. Thought the pasta was very good. Lucy, our bartender was great. She was charming and very knowledgeable. She made us two Boulevardiers that were perfect. It's refreshing to get a properly made cocktail on the island. Very friendly service by all. read more

Quite good. New this year. Chef owns a farm and provides some ingredients. Friendly staff. Great outdoor space for people watching. We had pork pasta dish. Delish. We'd go back. read more

One of our favorite restaurants on MV, always amazing food. The pastas are my favorites and they have a wonderful wine list as well. To top it all off the service and management are impeccable! read more

Meh, two scallops and two small pieces of lobster and some diced potatoes and 15 pearl onions... Not much flavor, disappointing meal for $32. Growing up on Cape Cod this was not up to par... Cerviche was great tho... read more

First time at The Covington. Brought my family of 5. We were happy to be seated quickly with no reservation. But it went down hill from there. I ordered a glass of Chardonnay and my husband a mixed drink. There was practically no alcohol in his mixed drink and my glass ended up being $22 for a single glass. My meal was tasty but the portion of protein was very tiny. My husband and son ordered the duck and got a huge plate of sticky rice and very little duck. If you want bread and butter be prepared to pay for it. I'm used to high end restaurants but we were all very disappointed with portion and price. I hope they work out the kinks. read more

YAY- Looks like there is another new winning spot here for us in Edgartown. Impressed on all counts = Cool space / atmosphere. Warm service and the CUISINE IS PHENOMENAL. Chef Chris has a stellar reputation and boy did he deliver - PERFECTION! Looking for an exceptional FINE dining experience - don't miss The Covington read more

We had dinner there tonight and had the chopped vegetable salad, the Carolina rice and the chicken. All were excellent! This place will be another big success just like the Port Hunter. Great addition to Edgartown ! read more

Delicious dinner for two! From our Burrata appetizer to the lobster pasta special and sea scallops we split this was one of the best dinners we've had on the island! While we saw families with kids, I'd recommend this restaurant for adults. Delicious cocktails and very good service. Really enjoyed sitting outside! read more

Wow! The Covington turned my night around. Having stopped in after a poor experience at another establishment, I thought I'd get a nice glass of wine and maybe a light app if something looked good. Well the Burratta was amazing. This is a mozzarella filled ball with fresh basil, miniature tomatoes and balsamic vinegar, but it's the toasted crustini lightly dusted with salt that brings this dish together. Chef Ted Courtney nailed it. There were 4 pieces, and while I wanted more bread, it actually was exactly the right proportion for what was served. From the hostesses to the bar tender, to the ambiance -can't get enough of the mint owl and other copper pineapples and flamingos, and tea lights it was amazing. read more

The food was delicious and the setting was lots of fun. All of the dishes were very flavorful and fully created out of local ingredients: lobster on homemade pasta with a tomato cream sauce, local Morning Glory tomatoes and other veggies, black sea bass with a Japanese sauce, potatoes and veg, and a Cacio e Pepe of squid ink pasta, lemon, Parmesan, smoked trout roe and egg yolk. Small plate salads and roasted little peppers and pea pods were all really tasty, too. Call for reservations or hang out in the bar while you wait. It's popular. There were people of all ages, young, old, families. read more
