You’re trying to sneak out for a lunch cocktail or two, so let’s just get to Covina, the large, colorful
place where you’ll be enjoying a friendly group dinner tonight and for the foreseeable future. It’s open
now at the Park South Hotel.
The team from O Ya, the omakase spot also in the hotel, is responsible for this. And here, they’re
pioneering the field of industrial-old-world-damask
design, meaning a zinc bar protecting a huge wood-burning oven in a spacious dining room lined with
Technicolor botanical banquettes.
Your mission: bring more than one person. It’s going to be like one of those scenes from a
chain-restaurant commercial where they film over a table covered in plates of fish and myriad appetizers and
pizza, then cutting to jovial folks laughing hysterically at seemingly nothing together and passing
everything around.
