Blue Cow kitchen & barThe ambience outside was aThe ambience outside was a young professionals scene from downtown, pretty much all looking to unwind after work. Several large groups. Seemed fun and energetic. The i nside was a little more romantic, but the noise level was still comparable to the outside. Food was ok, nothing crazy special, but not bad either5/10/2013 12:00:00 AMFood to shout aboutIn fact, you have to shout because it's so incredibly loud inside this restaurant, but the food is delicious! I eat here regularly and am always pleased with everything. The chef and bar folks take such care with ingredients and combinations; it's always a wonderful meal. If you don't like spicy food, be sure to ask before ordering as there is sometimes a kick to unexpected plates. Also, be aware that the pickling craze has definitely hit Blue Cow. Love that there's somewhere yummy to go in this area.5/7/2013 12:00:00 AMBlue CowOur group ( 4) went to Blue Cow for dinner prior to a concert @ Disney Hall. Great location, 2 blocks from the theatre. Excellent service; sensitive to our time constraints. Took server's recommendations and loved them ( flatbread app, great roasted veggie salad, pork and bacon sandwich. Only negative: pricey drinks were tiny; I expect a good pour for $$$. Would definitely go back, but would drink beer!5/2/2013 12:00:00 AMLove the food. Something differentLove the food. Something different and very tasty.4/27/2013 12:00:00 AMThe PlaceThis could be the best food in LA, though that is hard to prove. Still, for fresh, clean food, ambiance, and service, this is the place.4/27/2013 12:00:00 AMMust go!This place was packed went I arrived for lunch and I loved the vibe. I like restaurants that serve food with tons of flavors, sauces and ingenuity. I never eat french fries but their Baked Then Fried Potatoes were OUTSTANDING. I could not get enough of them. I shared the Turkey Club and the Short Rib roll and they were delicious. I loved the gruyere and the horseradish crème fraiche. There is so much more on the menu I must try!4/24/2013 12:00:00 AMThe food and bar drinks areThe food and bar drinks are particular good and great for the whole family. My twenty-something 'grown-up kids' enjoyed the food & drink selections as much as I did. It was a first for all of us, we'll go back for sure. Booking this dinner reservation via open table was quite convenient too.4/20/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat view of downtowns cityscapeGreat view of downtowns cityscape .

Maybe myLoved this place. Maybe my new favorite place in LA. Amazing, smart food. Great cocktails.4/17/2013 12:00:00 AMDelicious food and fabulousDelicious food and fabulous service. A little too much of the happy-hour scene for our purposes this visit, but that's not the restaurant's fault. Decor was a little contrived for me. Very much a downtown resto.4/15/2013 12:00:00 AMExcellent food with unusualExcellent food with unusual combinations of tastes. Excellent and prompt service. Great place to catch a bite before the theatre.4/13/2013 12:00:00 AMFun place with limited menuFun place with limited menu (more for light meals) and great drink menu. Definitely a fun find in downtown LA. All the food was excellent. Service was casual, friendly and fun.4/13/2013 12:00:00 AMWhat a surprise! Great food...fastWhat a surprise! Great food...fast service...fun atmosphere...perfect before the theatre!4/13/2013 12:00:00 AMVery popular place with unusualVery popular place with unusual menu items. Lots of people there enjoying Happy Hour when we arrived. Has items for vegans and vegetarians as well as omnivores like me. I had a great hamburger. Our appetizer was grilled purple cauliflower. We were having dinner before a play at the Ahmanson. I made our waitress aware of our time constraint and she accommodated us perfectly. The noise level might not work for everyone but I would certainly go there again. It was great!4/11/2013 12:00:00 AMOMG the burger! I order mineOMG the burger! I order mine with a fried egg & fries. A burger & fries may sound pedestrian, but I'm hooked on it. The bun is not "all bread"--the perfectly seasoned meat remains juicy & you can actually taste something besides carbs. It's spread with a spicy remoulade, the butter lettuce & tomato are fresh, & the fried overeasy egg gilds the lily. (You can also order aged cheddar, avocado, grilled onions or mushrooms on your burger.) The tasty fries are baked, then fried, & seasoned with something other than just salt, with smoky garlic ketchup and ranch dressing for dipping. The whole thing costs $17, so for salad-eater me, this is a decadent treat which doesn't break the bank. Oh, & the service is friendly and quick.4/6/2013 12:00:00 AMThe specialty old fashionedThe specialty old fashioned was superb. The duck wings app was out of this world. The beet & burrata salad was excellent.4/5/2013 12:00:00 AMLove the Blue Cow. It wasLove the Blue Cow. It was a nice surprise to find a gem like this downtown with good food and service. I will be back!4/4/2013 12:00:00 AMVegans and Carnivores RejoiceThere is something wonderful for everyone. Not too many places can give you a great steak sandwich as well as great vegan offerings but Blue Cow does it. And to top it off they make perfect cocktails at less than average prices for downtown. It took us way too long to try them out but since we live in the neighborhood I know we'll be back often. A great spot!3/30/2013 12:00:00 AMContemporary, ecelctic setting,Contemporary, ecelctic setting, nice outdoor seating. Food is good and fresh, nice variety, healthy size portions. Had a nice time.3/25/2013 12:00:00 AMThe food was absolutely delicious.The food was absolutely delicious. Duck wings are a must, the twice fried french fries were a bit too crispy for me, but the dipping sauces were amazing. The steak dish was phenomenal. I recommend the Old Fashioned. Service felt rushed to the point where my dining partner and I didn't have time to order another drink, however, the food was outstanding. I would go back and specify longer wait times on food delivery.3/16/2013 12:00:00 AM
