| - Cowboy Ciao...well...no. Yeah you have all heard the hype, excellent food, etc...! It was medicore at best. We had some small plates just to test the waters at this place. I have been wanting to try it for years and finally we got a chance to go. What a complete disappointment. We had the chopped salad, server upsold us from the $6 salad that seemed better IMO. The chopped salad was nice for about 3 bites, then it got boring. So boring I could barely taste it after the 4th bite. Not real strong in flavors, not enough salt to bring out the flavors, very blaaa! Next we moved on to the mac and cheese. YUK! Absolutely aweful. Dry, flavorless with a hint of spice. Boring. No real cheese flavor, totally disappointed but ate it anyway. Next we had the dungeness crab enchilada's....boring!! No real taste of crab in the enchilada even though I did have a OK amount in there. All I could taste is the spicy cream sauce poured on top. Very bland, never a taste of fresh crab that would have made the enchilada. Not good at all. We did have sampler desert plate (on the house) which was very good. The mousse was great, cheesecake was excellent but I was slightly disappointed again in the bread pudding that is so talked about. Not very flavorful, little dry and the compote overpowers the bread pudding, sorry but vanilla ice cream alone works best.
Overall, totally disappointed. Will never go back. I have had better....way better for the same price. Service was great though, our watress was wonderful.
