Editorial Review for Cova – by Citysearch Staff
In Short
The folks at Cova make it easy to spend the day browsing through the well-stocked shelves. Buy the whole bottle or sample by the glass or taste. In the evenings, customers can also sample from a menu of small and large tapas (raciones). Cold offerings include organic beef carpaccio and artisanal cheese plate. Braised oxtails with chipotle potato puree; New Zealand lamb chops with a savory flan and pressed panini comprise the more substantial entrees.

Know Before You GoCova charges a $10 corkage fee, but if you don't finish the full bottle, you can always take it home with you.

If you want to eat anything at Cova, go for something they don't have to cook like the cheese and meat selections. The menu is incredibly pretentious and execution is underwhelming at best. A "mushroom napolean" was a pile of sauteed mushrooms over salty waffle potato chips. I was informed that the name had recently changed from the "mushroom tower". Tower or Napolean... it sucked. I've been to Cova several times and been satisfied with the wine selections but the food consistently disappoints. When you're paying that much for the wine you would at least like to have some decent food with it. Chips and salsa from the mercado across the street would be an improvement.
Pros: Outdoor seating
Cons: Food, food and the food

in the mood for over priced wine lockers and bad service, this is just the place for you ! I have spent thousands of dollars at this place and they don't care...go somewhere where they appreciate your business ...Try Max's wine dive, the wine is great and the food is great...
