Ripple Wine Bar - Covington

Super cute space with two floors of seating. The kitchen is on the first floor near the window and if you are seated upstairs, you can look down and watch the food being made. They have half-glasses of wine for purchase, making trying several different varieties easier. We ordered a charcuterie board for starters made up of cheeses and meat that you choose from the list. It came with spiced nuts, pickled think cucumber slices, and herbed butter for the amazing fresh rustic bread chunks. Everything was delicious. We also ordered the truffle popcorn. It came with fresh shredded parmesan on top. Not really a fan. The truffle flavor was great, but the actual popcorn kernels were lacking- quite small and really no taste.I had the shrimp and grits for dinner which was an incredibly unique take on this classic dish. Lots of shrimp and sausage atop the creamy grits.Apparently this venue is hard to get into, we had to opt for a 4:30 pm time, but it was worth it!! I highly recommend checking out Ripple Wine Bar.

Fun vibe and awesome service! Ripple serves a standout charcuterie board with amazing local cheeses and perfectly toasty bread. We did a tapas style and loved the savory, hot honey flavor on the Sicilian flatbread. It wasn't as crispy in the middle as we had hoped but the flavor made up for it. We also had the chicken meatball, which were fine, but they lacked a standout flavor. Same with the pirogies. Not pictured but also delicious were the brussels sprouts and truffled potatoes. We ended up waiting for these for most of our meal and they only came out at the end. Our server made up for it by bringing out some wine to enjoy with dessert and removing the two items from our bill.

Came here due to a yelp drop in event nearby. Interesting place. Smaller menu. We got the charcuterie board. chose 6 meats and cheeses. Accompanied bread was very good. Small wine pours for the price. Black truffle popcorn was a fail. Not worth it and nothing special. I got the french bread pizza with chorizo. It was ok. My wife liked her shrimp and grits and son liked his mushroom pasta with shrimp added. Service was fine. Needs to have iced tea.

I had another wonderful meal at Ripple. This time it was a girls night out and it felt perfectly festive for the holiday. Our server was attentive and happy to make wine recommendations for us. The Malbec was expensive but so good. We shared the baked Brie for an appetizer. I am not usually big on Brie but this melty treat with the pieces of garlic bread hit the spot. I had the ricotta gnocchi for my entree. The creamy truffle flavor with mushrooms was perfect. I love this little Covington gem and even though it can be pricey I think it's worth it for the excellent wine selection and homemade food.

Definitely a place to go if you're into wines either big time or just starting out. I'd say my wife and I are somewhat seasoned amateurs when it comes to wine. We know what we like and dislike. Ripple had our choices dialed in.The server was friendly and knowledgeable. The restaurant was set up differently with a loft upstairs over looking the kitchen.The dinner menu was simple yet offered a choice for just about anything.We would definitely visit Ripple again as there are so many other wines and menu options to try.

I went here for restaurant week. Their menu was perfect. Roasted grape salad scallops with chorizo and corn and chocolate flourless torte. All of it perfection My friend ordered off the menu Napa flatbread. Flatbread with Brussel sprouts genius. The wine delicious. Our server was so sweet. She offered us a fan because it was a little warm.

I would give them 10 stars if I could! The place is beautiful for starters! The service was good and the food was excellent. I got one of the flatbreads with the hot honey which was sweet and delicious while my friend tried the spinach flatbread which is more savory. We loved them both!! We also tried the Brie and it was truly some of the best I've ever had. I've heard they get pretty busy in the late evenings but we went around 4p when they first opened and had the place to ourselves for a while. It's great for a girls night, book club meeting, or date night! I will certainly be back!

Have tomake reservations even to sit at the bar. great wine selection, food is good a bit pricey but overall cute date spot

I've been to Ripple since my initial review & I had another great experience! I have loved everything I've ordered & they have a great wine & cocktail selection.

Enjoyed meeting up with a friend late night at this spot. Sat at the bar and the tender was very knowledgeable about the wines they had on offer, plus scored street parking right in front!
