| - I am in love. This restaurant does everything a good restaurant should. Ambiance, service and product were good. The only disappointment I had was with the hour wait on the Monday we went without a reservation.
My party of four had an excellent time celebrating a birthday. Two had the short ribs. Tender to a fault, served with delicious Bar-B-Que sauce and pecan grits. One had the fillet with a spicy aioli and delicious potatoes.
My meal was a huge pork chop, stuffed with Maytag bleu on a ancho bread pudding.
For an app I split the chop salad. It deserves special mention and I do recommend it, but it is not a sustaining salad, more of a amuse-bouche. For dessert we split the peanut-butter cheese cake, delicious.
The beverages deserve some mention. The wine list is this restaurants' only fault, it is tooooo long. There is a smaller, delicious by-the-glass selection. The beer selection is well crafted. I had two of my favorite beers, Dogfishhead Chicory Stout, something I had only had by bottle, wonderful.
I normally don't like high-priced eateries b/c there is often a lack of creativity, Cowboy Ciao doesn't disappoint. Recommended over any Capital Griller or Flemmingsery for creativity and value for dollar.
