“ Stopped by for a late lunch on Saturday during the Galleria flower show, they were quite busy and we had a half hour wait to be seated. We tried the Lobster Tartine (lots of food, not much lobster), Crispy Chicken Sandwich with fries (as expected but was too messy to pick up to eat, coleslaw on it?), the COV Roll (very good), the Dragon Roll, and I had the Brisket Sandwich with fries (why is this on toast and not a nice bun? I didn't enjoy that part). Overall, the food was good and the service was great - although kinda spendy at $24-30 for each of our entrees. Desserts are extremely expensive so we skipped that ($17 for key lime pie, I believe it was $12 for ice cream?). ”
“ COV Edina is our go to place for lunch when doing our seasonal shopping trips. The food is definitely elevated and the atmosphere makes you feel like you’re in an east coast seaside restaurant. ”
“ had an amazing experience at COV Restaurant while celebrating my friend’s birthday. From start to finish, the service was top-notch. Our server was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. The manager was incredibly welcoming and even treated us to some new rolls crafted by the chef—they were absolutely delicious! The ambiance was perfect, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. I highly recommend COV for a fantastic dining experience. I’ll definitely be back! Thank you Alex and Tom!! ”
“ We came in around 6:40 p.m. to celebrate my mom's birthday. Before we walked in the first thing that we saw was a person that was supposed to greet was scrolling through his phone. He looked up for about 3 seconds to just say "Hi, welcome in" and immediately after that went back to his phone. I ordered baby back ribs and in my opinion for the price that you pay the ribs were really dry. Probably the worst coleslaw that I ever had. It was way too sweet and just tasted like an apple. My wife got French dip and that was very delicious. Our server was barely checking on us after we got our food so we had to ask a completely different server to get us refills on our drinks. We were at the Wayzata location before and the experience there was wonderful which I can't say the same about this one. ”
“ This place has a lovely, quiet patio area although you can't order Happy Hour there. That's fine, we have such a short patio season in MN that it's imperative to take patio seating whenever possible lol The atmosphere was good, they had music playing in the background but not too loud to interfere with conversations. We just ordered some appetizers this time-- and they were enough. Both flavors of chicken wings-- the Hot and Mango Habanero were delicious. Neither were too hot, but probably Minnesota hot haha I enjoyed the char on the wings which add another layer of flavor. We also ordered the lobster guacamole. It was a large portion that we didn't even finish the whole thing! In the end, just appetizers and drinks cost over $120 . We came at around 730 which was surpringly not busy on a Saturday. There were plenty of patio and indoor space available. Our server was not easy to get ahold of during this time, he disappeared in and out of the restaurant a lot. We saw the runner more often but couldn't order extra cocktails or wings when we wanted. As such, we will probably try the other restaurants in the area before we come back to this location. ”
