Grilled Caesar Salad was phenomenal. Izzy was our server and was great for recommendations and great service. Recommend the dessert with homemade cinnamon bread, pecans and ice cream. Delicious. They serve a small skillet with homemade cornbread drizzled in honey. I highly recommend this place and we will be back! read more

Both Excellent food and service. Nice ambiance, Covington is rocking another great restaurant!

I really wanted to like this place but the moment you walk into the bar, not the restaurant at the front door. You're confronted by very loud voices. It's almost deafening. Once into the restaurant it doesn't get a lot better. It's still very loud. I really don't understand the decor with picture frames on the wall without anything in them. The other parts of the decor are really poorly done nautical pieces inside of frames. It doesn't make a lot of sense it is a steakhouse after all my steak was undercooked and sent back to the kitchen to be redone. It didn't have much flavor and it was quite grizzly. The lobster bisque was lukewarm not cold or hot so it's like they didn't know which one to go with the carrot cake was topped with pecans, but be careful with this one because there are pecan shells in there that I almost broke a tooth on not a good experience as you can imagine so I probably won't be back read more

The Hampshire - Shrimp and grits - Steakhouses Near Me - Covington, Louisiana

The Hamshire is hands down one of the best dining experiences in downtown Covington. From the moment you walk in, the service is five-star: attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely welcoming without ever feeling over the top. The food? Incredible. The steak tartare is a must-try. Perfectly seasoned and beautifully presented. The steak eggrolls are absolutely addictive and such a fun, elevated twist. And the duck... truly the best I've ever had. Cooked perfectly with amazing flavor! I'm still thinking about it. Their brunch is probably the best I've had in downtown Covington. Everything is fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared. Portions are generous, and the prices feel more than fair for the quality you're getting. If you're looking for a place that consistently delivers amazing food, great portions, and top-tier service, The Hamshire is it. Can't recommend it enough! read more

The ambiance was beautiful--perfectly blending Southern class with a modern touch. It was a little cold inside, but nothing a jacket can't fix. The bathroom décor was also really cute. The service was just okay. Our entrées took a long time to come out, and when the steak finally arrived, it was overcooked. After sending it back, the wait for the remake was also long, and there wasn't much acknowledgment of the inconvenience. The food was hit or miss. The steak eggrolls and grilled Caesar were amazing, but by the time the corrected steak came out, our mac and cheese and toppings were cold. Overall, it was okay, but not somewhere I'm rushing back to. read more

We have been here 3 times- loved the first time but were not as impressed the 2nd time. We thought we'd hit it for the summer fixed price menu this month. we ate lobster bisque (tasty but not hot-actually it had developed a skin on top so...), steak n crab and they didn't have the key lime icebox pie - they said it would be ready in a half hour so they subbed a chocolate cheesecake -good but too heavy. however, they should have told us this before we ordered. there were only 3 parties dining, 3 wait staff and an army in the kitchen so why were the mashed potatoes, asparagus, crab cake and soup cold? the only thing at good temp was the steak. steak was the star-perfectly cooked. this place could be great but needs better quality control on what is delivered to the table. sorry I left a 24$ tip to the waitress that spent most of her time helping take pics of food and relied upon her colleagues to deliver our food. read more

We wanted to try this with my husband's two siblings and their spouses. They don't clearly advertise they open at 4 pm for happy hour. We got there before 5, the signs at the front door advise opening hours of 5 pm. We walked in because the door was ajar, and the hostess and bartender both warmly greeted and welcomed us in. We loved the bar and the drink service we received. The six of us were seated in the dining room. We had reservations for 5:15 pm. The server advised that we needed to put our dinner order in at the same time as our appetizer orders. When questioned why, she advised that is their policy. Felt like we were on a cruise ship. My husband and I both had their filets. They were perfectly cooked, however, the heavy salt content was overwhelming. When we commented to our guests, they advised the sous- chef came from Pardo's. Which made perfect sense to us because we went one time to Pardo's and never returned due to the heavy salt content on their dishes, which we did advise the waiter. When a gentleman at Hampshire asked how we liked our meal, we did speak up and advise about the way too heavy over salting. He said he would talk to the chef. Even our side of spinach was heavily over salted. The restaurant seating and the bar are very attractive. read more

Glad to have another choice in Covington. Food was very good. Staff attentive. Ate in the bar. A little confusion behind the bar but they just opened. Could use a little warmth in the ambience. Planning to return. read more

We really enjoyed this place! To start, we both got a cocktail, and they brought out complimentary cornbread with a lemon butter. It was great and a nice southern touch! I will say we did wait about 20 minutes until the manager came to our table to ask for our drink order. However, they were pretty busy that night and had only been open for a month. For an appetizer, we got the steak egg rolls which were fantastic!! The sauce on it paired well and the steak had great flavor. I got the lemon-caper chicken which was really good and the broccolini was cooked great. The lobster pasta was okay. We think it was a little bland and needed more seasoning. To end the night, we got the snickerdoodle crème brûlée! It had a slight touch of cinnamon and 2 snickerdoodle cookies on the side. Wow!! The restaurant was pretty big, and they had a couple of private rooms which were nice. They had a pretty decent size bar as well as what looks like an oyster bar. We can't wait to try once oyster season hits! Overall, we enjoyed our food. I will say maybe wait a little bit so their servers and employees can adjust and get the hang of things but we can't wait to go back! read more

Great service, food, and overall experience! We've been a few times now and will continue to come back. Great fine dining experience

Disappointing visit for fine dining restaurant. Food was mediocre and overpriced for quality. Crab appetizer was mostly artificial crab meat, $60 steak was overcooked, pork chop entree was lukewarm and too salty, overcooked fish entree. Extremely long wait time between first and second course. Very noisy in dining Room which made dinner conversation difficult. Won't be back. read more

Excellent dining experience! Every aspect of our dinner was wonderful - the service, the atmosphere, and especially the food! It's the perfect spot for a date night or nice business dinner. There's a great bar area for drinks too! I would highly recommend! read more

If you're looking for a place that actually delivers on flavor, this is it. Every single dish tasted like it was made by someone who truly cares. The chef is very personable and the general manager/owner even stopped by my table to make sure everything was great. On top of that, the service is outstanding. The staff is warm, attentive, and genuinely makes you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. They check in without hovering, know the menu well, and make the whole experience feel easy and enjoyable. Between the incredible food and the top-tier service, this restaurant has absolutely earned a spot on my favorites list. I can't wait to come back. read more

The Hampshire - Soy Maple Braised Pork Belly Bowl - Steakhouses Near Me - Covington, Louisiana

Tiniest filet around. Overcooked, unfortunately. We have some great steaks in the area restaurants and these steaks are maybe a 4 out of ten. For $50, we expect a beautiful thick steak, not a 3/4 inch tough piece of meat. Sorry to have to give this review but hoping that some changes can be made. we might give this restaurant one more chance, because it's truly beautiful inside read more

Sorry to say my Saturday night meal was terrible. I heard so much about The Hampshire and invited 2 other couples. A crabcake app on menu for 1 crabcake for $35. FOR AN APPETIZER! Did not like their cornbread. Couldn't put my finger on the seasoning used but thought it was like an old bay seasoning. I ordered crab and avacado appetizer and realized it was imitation crabmeat. The waitress said she mentioned in the description some other name but I guess I missed that description as well as another lady. Can't believe a nice restaurant would even serve imitation. They did take it back. The rest of the meals for the 6 of us was disappointing as well and pricey. Had duck that was dry, husband had redfish overcooked and other couples were not happy. Would not go back read more

Service was excellent, drinks were amazing! we were well looked after, never waiting! Comfortable but classy atmosphere and friendly staff! All of the food was impeccable, not one miss! We will be back again and I highly recommend it! read more

Always awesome. The food, service and atmosphere are all top notch and more inportanty, they are consistent. Ryan was our waiter last night and he went above and beyond to be certain were were happy and had everything we wanted. The owner, Johnathon is on the premisies to be sure all is perfect. read more

Services was wonderful. Atmosphere is fantastic. Drinks are delicious. Food is good, but not amazing. I don't mind paying higher prices if the food is delicious. Everything was good, but not somewhere I'm rushing back to. Hubs and I had one app, shared the surf and turn and had 2 drinks each. That was over $200 before the tip. read more

Just tried The Hampshire on Saturday. Loved it!! Started with a nice glass of prosecco at the bar. Moved into the dining room with friends and ordered the mussels which were to die for! Then the lump crab cake which was ALL crabmeat topped with a yummy mango salsa. We tried the salad with pecans cranberries and pepper jelly vinaigrette which was great! Our friends had the puppy drum special and a vegetarian pasta with veggies which they said was awesome. Nice wine list! We will definitely go back and highly recommend!! read more

Visited the Hampshire with another couple and we thought we had a reservation; however, we accidentally made it the next month. The hostess sat us anyway. Our server was great as were our meals. Will definitely return. read more

I have been to Hampshire several times and the food is always excellent and the service is very attentive. Let's start with then bar Hannah and Amelia are your bartenders. These girls on a busy bar hustle. They both concoct delicious libations which will delight any palate. Amelia makes a great balanced Old Fashion which any bourbon snob would love. The bar is stacked with well to high end liquors. The ambience in the restaurant and the bar are relaxing and fulfilling to the senses. The crab cakes are amazing and worth every penny you will not find fillers in these cakes. The steaks are cooked to perfection each time we have ordered and the lobster bisque is a must. Do yourself a favor and go by and see Hannah and Jonathon the owners. They have made this a up and coming place to be. It doesn't hurt that the happy hour is from 4-7 daily. read more

All I can say is that I've eaten at some of the finest restaurants in the US and Europe. Without a doubt, our experience at The Hampshire was totally amazing; the food, impeccable, the service perfect, the ambiance, beautiful! The prices, very reasonable for the quality!I cannot recommend the Hampshire enough. One of finest restaurants in the country! read more

The steak tartare and shrimp and grits are honestly life changing, and the bar is top notch. Our server was super knowledgeable and struck the perfect balance of being attentive without being overbearing. Can't wait to go back! read more

Attended opening weekend with the expectation that the front and back of house would be working out kinks. The front bar area was speedy and made a solid old fashion. Then after being seated the service and food were great. The Hampshire has a ton of potential, I am looking forward to going back after the grand opening! 5 stars based off my experience. read more

Food , service, and ambiance was AMAZING! If you haven't visited, you are missing out.

I had dinner here for the first time last Saturday and what an experience! The place had a great vibe and full of energy. Even though it was packed, we were seated right away, and our server Elizabeth greeted us almost immediately. We ordered the ribeye, the duck, the lobster bisque and crab cake. All were amazing! You can tell this restaurant is going places. Can't wait to come back! read more

The staff was very nice and accommodating. The ambiance while new is really strange and kind of boring. It's like a big vfw hall. Finally the food. The menu is strange and the food just wasn't good. I hope they turn it around but my initial experience wasn't great. read more
