| - To preface this review, we eat out often......very often and was waiting for The Covenant to have sometime to get it up and rolling before we had our visit. We had two join us for dinner, cocktails and dessert.
If you like bling and great service, this is the place; however, if it's food you're wanting, go elsewhere.
Had the octopus appetizer that was cooked fine, but without flavor. We also had the scallops and "chorizo chili relleno".
Notice the relleno is in quotes due it falling short of one. I am undoubtedly a relleno connoisseur. At best I would label it as a stuffed pepper loaded with potatoes and sprinkled with some chorizo. Heavy on potatoes, light on the chorizo and lighter yet on flavor. Very disappointed with the lack of flavor and overstuffed with potatoes. The corn sauce the chili sat in may have better been enhanced with bits of roasted corn kernels throughout.
Scallops, cooked to perfection, but again lack of flavor in its sauce. The roasted vegetables save the dish from total disaster. Don't think you can mess up roasting veggies.
Friends had a salad and sandwich, which they were less than thrilled. I was told the salad was just that, a plain ordinary salad and the chicken sandwich had great flavor.To prefe
Overall, great smiling service and attentive, hence 3 stars, and of course a comfortable atmosphere. If they can only ramp up the food to wow you at their prime pricing, this place may do well.
