| - Cowboy Ciao used to be a spot I went to about 8 or 9 years ago. I decided to go there again due to nostalgia reasons, and it didn't live up to my expectations at all.
To start off, the food was not as great as it used to be. The scallops had a sour after taste to them which I attributed to being in the smoker way too long, and they needed a better sear. The wild boar meatballs needed more seasoning. The duck confit relleno was pretty good, but the batter was oily and fell right off the chile.
Next off, we got seated in the brightly lit room to the left as you walk in. The room resembles nothing of the ambiance of the rest of the place. I was turned off by the faux wall artwork. The waitress seemed rush every time she came to us, and it showed with her missing our mushroom pan fry order.
It's hard to explain what it was like being there. Have you ever gone to a restaurant, and you just wanted to leave after being there for 10 minutes? Bad service, so so food, and being in a room that reminded me of the olive garden leads to wholly bad experience.
With so many other good restaurants such as NOCA, FNB, Herb Box near by, I won't ever recommend this place to anyone again.
