"Covey has brought a combination of neighborhood restaurant and elegant dining to a part of Wilmington that is devoid of both. The new American menu focuses on stellar renditions of classics like the Covey smash burger, a tuna tartare nicoise salad, and chicken and dumplings (with the dumplings in this case flavored with celery and plenty of black pepper). There’s a bar menu of small bites available after 5 p.m. to pair with a glass of wine or cocktail, making Covey a great stop for a quick drink and snack before heading home." - Matt Lardie
