Best Southern American Restaurants in Central Business District

We stop overnight in Covington a few times a year and it’s always a treat to have dinner at Bouquet on our trips. The food is always unique and excellent. Last night the beet salad and pork with rutabaga and cauliflower mash were delicious and the almond basque cake was incredible. Don’t skip the pickle board, with different flavors every time! Service is always great. Grace is an outstanding server, very professional and engaging. She handled a full room and made it look easy, appearing relaxed and friendly all throughout.

Happy hour has good value for food and drinks. The group had various dishes and a variety of drinks (wine flights). The wine choices and recommendations by the waitress was excellent. Here are some of the food reviews: 1. linguine with shrimp had a little too much lemon, otherwise it was good, 2. Shrimp and scallop with risotto was excellent, 3. Salmon was a little on the salty side but the au gratin potatoes helped Balance it out a little, 4. Warm Brussel Sprouts was excellent as an entree or side, 5. Hamburger and fries was good. The portion size was good as well. We went on a Thuraday and very unexpectedly, the place was nice and quiet where you can actually hear the conversation, atmosphere was great. Will definitely return.

The food was amazing. The portions were large and needed to take it home. The fried green tomatoes were great and the short rib grilled cheese was amazing

The best fried chicken ever! Service is outstanding. The sides are sooooo good.

New favorite Cincy restaurant… can’t wait to return in April for the new menu. Such a different fun menu. Amazing flavor. Must try!
