    I was looking for a lovely dining experience with an upscale menu and a romantic ambiance to celebrate my husband’s birthday. Covant was perfect. I made early reservations and when we got there we were able to move to the courtyard. The evening was gorgeous and their courtyard is special. We had trouble deciding what to order because everything on the menu sounded fantastic! We decided to split several things so we could taste more. Nothing disappointed! And the bartender made wonderful drinks. The evening and the experience at Couvant could not have been more perfect, but it would not have been nearly as delightful without our joyful, helpful, and friendly waitress, Shay! We will definitely be back. And next time we’ll bring friends.
