    This was my first time dining at Black Cow Chophouse, and it was an excellent experience. We were there during happy hour when drinks are discounted and at least one meat entree is, so if you chose, you could get a very delicious meal and beverage for under$30. The menu is varied with delicious sides served family style. Our salads came with our steaks and were excellent as was the fresh bread and butter. The desserts did not disappoint, particularly the cherry crème brûlée. Service here is top notch. The vibe is cool and unpretentious. We did feel slightly rushed to finish so the next seating could begin, but I get that this fabulous restaurant has high demand, as it should. My compliments to the entire staff.

    The food was amazing! The steak was literally, like butter. The caesar salad was delicious, dressing had just the right amount of tang. We had the lobster Mac n cheese, smashed red potatoes and brussel sprouts. Would repeat every one of these dishes! The cherry crème brûlée was unique but not outlandish! Loved the luxardo cherries on top! Our waitress was lovely, made great recommendations and checked on us often. Will definitely be back.
