Cat Owl Steak Seafood - Covington

We went on New Years Eve afternoon w/my brother sister in law. This was my very first visit I've lived in the area for at least 35 yrs?! The restaurant was quaint, the service was good so was the food. I think the location is not good the restaurant is a little outdated. However, for a very nice meal service, the prices are reasonable I will definitely be going back??!

My best friend and I had a delicious meal last night. We started with fried oysters for our appetizer. They were cooked to perfection. We both had a 5oz filet and charbroiled scallops. Everything was cooked perfectly. The steaks melted in our mouths and the scallops had the char on them like we like. The service was wonderful and the dirty martinis were too.

The staff was the friendliest and really fun. The food was great except for the lobster bisque. It was horrible! I've had lobster bisque many times and yours was nothing like I've tasted or seen. Super thick, weird flavor and color. You should really consider making it homemade or eliminating it from the menu. Will definitely see you again. Everything else was great and again, I can't say enough about the staff!!

There was only one server covering all front-of-house responsibilities, but she was congenial. We waited forever in the bartender-less bar for our table in the only 1/3 full restaurant. The women's bathroom was dirty (grime on the changing table was especially gross). The food was edible but plain with zero flair (worse than an at-home meal), and the seafood seemed like it was frozen grocery-store fare, definitely not fresh. The whole experience was bizarre and overpriced. The server was super nice, though, which is the only reason this is not a one-star review. Definitely do not recommend.

The Cat Owl is an excellent restaurant. We had a great experience. The food was delicious, the server was friendly, prompt and made us feel special. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.
