The highest quality food you can get in Covington for sure. Steaks, salads, soups are very good. Onion rings are second to none! Burgers

Dragon's Breath Gourmet - Chicken Caesar Wrap

Dragon's Breath Gourmet

Currently located across from the courthouse, this business is quickly outgrowing its shared space…read moreand is looking for a larger spot to host its customers. Though it gets its name from the liquid nitrogen used to quickly make your ice cream, the menu has a variety of salads, sandwiches, and even sushi! So, after driving around western Indiana all morning, I was intrigued by the unique name and was pleasantly surprised that they had so much variety of food items beyond the ice cream. I placed an order at the counter for a Chicken Caesar Wrap (which comes with your pick of chips). The staff quickly went to work on assembling my lunch and brought it out to my table (there are very few tables. All are round 2 tops.) Although the wrap description mentions the chicken (cubed), greens, Parmesan cheese, and Caesar dressing, there was a lot of flavor especially from the dressing/sauce. Very tasty!! I also had to try one of their ice cream dishes. They have a huge variety of flavors available so I was a bit indecisive. I asked what was most popular and was told the Turtle. So, that's what I ordered. Before long, I saw them making the ice cream with the liquid nitrogen right then. They then topped it with chocolate fudge, caramel, and pecans. Another Yum! The only thing negative was that the fudge and caramel were cold and stayed somewhat clumped instead of melting over the ice cream. But the flavors were great. The staff, including Trudy who runs the place, were very friendly and were sharing information about points of interest in the area (which I took them up on). The service brings the food to your table if you are dining-in and only charge you when you are finished. I did pay at the counter instead of waiting for a bill to be brought to my table. Parking is convenient on both sides of the street (free and angled in). The elevated entrance does have ramps at the half blocks for those challenged by steps. Good food, good people, and an overall good experience for a nice price. Review #947

I will admit that when my wife suggested sushi in Covington I was more than a little apprehensive…read more But I am happy to say I was amazingly happily surprised. The location is a little different but it works out well. The menu has a nice variety and everything is made fresh. I ordered the Thai chicken satay and my wife ordered the dragons breath gourmet crunch roll. Of course we shared. Everything was delicious and I don't throw that expression around loosely. Portions are good size. But most of all the service is excellent. We will be back soon.

Martinellis is such a cool place for Champaign to have. I love that it's a cafe, bakery, store…read more There's nothing there that isn't good or well crafted here and it's made fresh! It can be a little bit pricey but I definitely think it's worth what you're paying. They have a great outdoor idea to sit in if you have a dog with you and the staff is so friendly. I love seeing their specialty items in their grocery section as well. They clearly pick those items with a lot of thought!

I usually really enjoy visiting Martinelli's: they have fun snack aisles for one to browse through,…read morebread samples, yummy dessert options and a freezer full of goodies. Its got a lot of natural light, plenty of seating and has a really nice ambiance for a quick lunch or coffee date. We stopped by for their delicious foccacia pizza but were informed that they don't serve it after 1:30 pm. We settled on the tuna melt but were disappointed by that; cold tuna salad, greasy soft bread (ie not toasted enough), and a slice of unmelted cheese. It really didn't work. We also ordered a few baked goodies but were disappointed to see a bug flying on the cookies. I'm giving them 3 stars for the overall vibe of the restaurant and past experiences. I'm hoping that today they were just having an off day.
