First timers to Cowfird Chophoise and we weren’t disappointed. Started our visit in the rooftop for some drinks and appetizers. Drinks were excellent and the meatless and bacon appetizer were fantastic. We were then seated on the second floor and our server, UNBELIEVABLE BTW, continued our wonderful experience by thoroughly going over the menu and guiding us to the best choices . The food was all served at the same time and there was not one complaint about the taste or quality. Definitely a restaurant for a special occasion but also fun to get the well priced happy hour at the bars. Love that they have valet parking

If you have shellfish allergies, ask for their special menu listing items safe to order. It is not intuitive on the main menu since sauces can frequently use oyster sauce and cooking methods can introduce cross contamination. The special menu is a nice innovation.

The food is excellent; however, the service was very slow. I have eaten here 3-4 times and had not experienced an issue with slow service, both with the entrees and the drinks until this time.
