I love the Cowboy. I've been going there since about 2016. It's my favorite place for steaks. The steak and corn is the bomb! Also, there is no corking fee for local wines which is a huge savings.

We go to Petrini’s about once a month; it’s close to our house, convenient, they almost always have room for us, and kids are welcome. Pretty standard red-sauce Italian restaurant, with a few exceptions. Of note, they do an excellent job cooking their pasta, which is never limp and overcooked. They’re selective about the pasta types, and don’t have linguini - angel hair, spaghetti or fettuccine. The menu is a bit more compact than most Americanized Italian restaurants, and they try to make fewer dishes that are a bit better. Lately (post-Covid and Biden inflation) the prices have jumped up, like all restaurants, and it’s a bit harder to justify the visits. But they’re always welcoming, the food is very consistent, portions are large, and it’s easy. Good place to take a big family or visiting out-of-town relatives.

The food was plated so nicely. We had lunch and the calamari was delicious as was the hamburger. The garlic parmesan fries are the best! Try them! It was fairly busy when we were there but service was good and the food came out quickly. Perfect for our lunch hour!

Nice place at this Hilton boutique hotel. We came in for breakfast and the food had a very creative twist on basic breakfast staples. I had their corned beef hash which was delightfully unexpected. We would dine here again when we get a chance to visit the area again.
