    The customer service at Space Cowboy was outstanding from the moment we walked in until the moment we left. I had made a reservation for myself and my 7-year-old son. Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed by the host, Kai, who promptly showed us to our seats. My son was immediately captivated by the decor and the sight of robots delivering food to other diners. Having visited Space Cowboy before, I knew there wasn’t a dedicated kids’ menu, but I wanted to introduce my son to new flavors and expand his palate. Our server, Kristyn, started by asking if I had dined there before and explained which meals could be customized to suit my son’s tastes. Her knowledge and attentiveness were impressive, and I appreciated her recommendations. The menu also highlighted which cocktails could be transformed into mocktails, so I let my son choose one for himself. For him, we ordered the Cowboy Ribeye Sliders, Stardust Sliders, and the Life Water mocktail. The sliders and fries were prepared without extra toppings, and ketchup was provided, which my son thoroughly enjoyed. The Life Water was a fun and flavorful choice—fizzy like soda but more unique and refreshing. I started with the Seafood Aguachile, a dish I fell in love with during my first visit in April 2024. Since then, I’ve tried aguachile at other restaurants, but none compare to the version at Space Cowboy. I was thrilled to see it still on the menu, as their offerings change frequently. The serrano sauce was thoughtfully placed on one side of the bowl so my son could try it. To my surprise, he enjoyed it, though he stuck to the shrimp. For the main course, I had the Piri Piri Chicken and Seafood Risotto. The chicken was perfectly smoked, and the accompanying sauce elevated the dish. It was generously portioned, enough for both of us to share. The risotto was our favorite—it was my son’s first time trying scallops, mussels, and clams, and to my deli

    The food was fantastic. The server knew his stuff He had really great information about food and drinks and offered some good suggestions. The only thing I didn’t like was because everything is delivered by a conveyor belt robot I feel like we weren’t checked on as often as we should’ve been, like after food was delivered to make sure everything was Okay. I would suggest a little more attention to the customers. They were not that busy so that wasn’t the reason.

    Atmosphere is very very cool! Food was okay but not mind blowing. Nothing really tastes that impressive and the drinks were just sugary. Service was amazing and it was a fun concept. To put into perspective, we ordered a ribeye and it came out in under five minutes. I think maybe all of the food is just prepped and ready. Spent over $200 and to me it wasn’t worth it.

    Okay, I rolled the dice and came up a winner. I was concerned that food quality would come at the expense of the clever “robot service” (retro future trollies). Not at all. Everything was A+, creative, and absolutely delicious. Look over the menu and you’ll see how inventive the cuisine is. When we arrived (6:30 p.m.) it was already dark and the restaurant sign wasn’t illuminated making it a small challenge to find the place. When we left it was on, so maybe someone just forgot. No big deal. Bottom line: Fell in love with Space Cowboy and will most definitely return.
