Our server Elle was welcoming, friendly, knowledgeable on the menu and attentive throughout our stay. Restaurant features a full bar with seating as well as tables and booths behind the bar area with a relaxing stay at home ambiance. The food topped off the wonderful experience. I highly recommend the fried cauliflower which complimented my Sierra Nevada Oktoberfest glass of beer . Both the California Chicken Sandwich was juicy and well seasoned while The Prime Burger was cooked to perfection and well portioned. Topped off with a couple of cappuccinos to end the experience. Overall a great restaurant serving delicious, well portioned and reasonably priced food and staffed with exceptional customer service focused team members. Definitively with a visit.

Decor was let's just say different, things to buy scattered throughout the restaurant. We got biscuits and sausage gravy, toast with chip beef gravy, home fries and scrapple.

I would have given 4 stars, but the cobwebs hanging from lights and food splattered on walls at booth really kinda grossed me out.

Walking up this place has great ambiance, perfect for a first date. The indoor seating was closed…read morebut the outdoor seating was great. The menu was quite promising. Ordered a cucumber chamomile gin and tonic, which left something to be desired. We started with the blackberry salad which on the menu said it also included avocado but there was none on the salad-despite this the salad was great. Our mains were good but not great. The biggest issue I found here was despite our server being very nice while ordering she NEVER checked in on us after anything arrived, never refilled waters either. So although she was nice the service was not good as there were times we wanted to order something else and one of the entrees didn't arrive as it was ordered but our server never checked in. All things considered I think I would only come here to grab a salad or appetizer.

Now my husband and I…read moremay not go out much, you know with life and kids and chaos all around, but we came here to dine for our 10 year anniversary yesterday. The food was absolutely phenomenal. The drinks were some of the best we've had, our steaks were cooked to perfection (we got the Wagyu and filet mignon) and the steak sauces were absolutely delicious. Each meal comes with salad and bread and we were licking the plates clean. For sides we had potatoes and brussel sprouts and these were the largest I've ever seen covered with apples and a delicious sauce and I've never tasted anything greater in my life. My husband and I sat at the table so filled with joy for what we were eating that we were LAUGHING. It was like our whole lives we've lived in a drought and someone handed us a coconut water. Our server Julie was so great, knew the menu, made suggestions and came to check on us often. She even gave us a free little drink to toast with for our anniversary. She was top notch. Now, don't get me started on the desserts. Crème brûlée and chocolate mouse were incredibly balanced, not too sweet and absolutely perfect. The atmosphere was lively, fun, and the perfect balance of fancy but not stuck up. I can't wait to come back. Thank you Black Cow for the amazing anniversary experience and the best food we have had in a very long time.

My first visit to Black Cow Chophouse left me with mixed feelings. The ambience is beautiful and…read morehas a great upscale atmosphere, and I really appreciated the staff accommodating our request to move inside after we had originally reserved outdoor seating. The service was excellent throughout the meal. Our server, was absolutely lovely. She was friendly, attentive, and genuinely made us feel welcome. She was one of the highlights of the experience. We started with the steak tartare. It was decent, but a little saltier than I would have preferred. My biggest complaint was that the accompanying bread wasn't brushed with butter or olive oil, which made it feel a bit dry and out of place alongside such a rich dish. One thing that was disappointing was the portioning of the shareable sides. The menu describes them as serving 3 to 4 people, but in our experience they were much more realistically sized for about two people. That was frustrating, especially given the overall price point. For our entrees, we ordered the ribeye, bavette, and New York strip. All of the steaks were cooked well, but I found them to be good rather than great, especially considering the price point. They just weren't particularly memorable. The ribeye, in particular, leaned a bit too far toward fatty rather than beautifully marbled, so there was more unrendered fat than I would have liked. The steak sauces were enjoyable, but they also didn't stand out in any significant way. They were well made, but nothing especially unique or memorable. Overall, I enjoyed the evening, the atmosphere, and the exceptional service. However, for a steakhouse at this price point, I expected to be more impressed by the food. Everything was solid, but nothing really wowed me or left me thinking, "I can't wait to come back." It is disappointing to have buyers remorse from such a nice restaurant.

Quick service for takeout, they bring it out to your car which is convenient…read more Texas Roadhouse is always reasonable for steak and burgers. Even though we got takeout, the steak was still warm when we got to the hotel nearby. They pack bread and peanuts for us too which was great, their bread is the best!

Our entrees were delivered steaming hot-and cooked perfectly! I had the steak kabobs and they were outstanding! My husband had the filet-and it was just what he had hoped for/perfectly cooked as he requested. My son had the sirloin and it was great! He really enjoyed the accompanying mashed potatoes...they alone are reason enough to return! On the way out-we saw Megan the manager again-and she told us that all the steaks are hand cut there by their in-house meat cutter. Nice to hear about all these details!

AMBIANCE We came in with reservation for a dinner with…read morefriends one evening. The place is easy enough to get to and we found parking luckily on the street. We strolled in, gave our name for reservation, and were swiftly seated in the back of the restaurant behind the bar area. It was a comfortable setting for dinner with most of the dining room in a pleasantly quiet a bit dark in a warm way but good enough for conversation and relaxing atmosphere for chilling out. FOOD We started with the housemade rosemary focaccia bruschetta ($14), and were recommended to order two servings for our table of four... so we did. About 10 minutes later, the appetizer arrived and the focaccia was a nice way to begin the meal, and was surpised it wasn't pre-cut but it was fine to cut it at the table with the cheese and share...it tasted good but was not especially remarkable for what you'd expect (forgot to take a photo) For our entrées, we ordered the grilled branzino ($39)...a bit overly oily for me, the fish of the night ($39), coastal tagliatelle ($28), and spaghetti pomodoro ($23). The dishes were solid portion and generally enjoyable. I suppose I expected more of a WOW that I didn't get from the menu options or the service...probably didn't help we were seated next to a large and very loud group in the back. Overall, the food was fine and satisfying, though nothing stood out enough to make the meal especially memorable. We skipped dessert. SERVICE Service was acceptable and kept the meal moving, but it did not add much to the overall experience... Overall, this was an okay Italian spot with a comfortable ambiance and a solid selection of dishes, but it did not quite deliver the exceptional food or memorable experience expected from a well-raved restaurant that others had hyped up. I personally wouldn't visit this spot again in the area for Italian food, knowing that there are spots nearby with warmer service and more interesting menu options....so this rating is relative to those spots.
