    Really cute casual spot with an interesting combination. Love the menu offerings. Our server was super nice. The food was pretty good. The only thing not to our liking were the milkshakes. The cookies and cream tasted like cream and when we ordered the chocolate shake it also tasted like cream- no chocolate. The birthday cake was also super delicious. We'll definitely return 🙌🏻

    Pleasantly surprised by how great my experience was! The food is delicious, the burger was flavorful and juicy, and the sushi was fresh and flavorful! I love the atmosphere too! It's a fun, unique blend of westerns and eastern, with a giant aquarium in the middle and a comical movie motif. So quirky and well done! The Bento Box seems to be the best deal because you can sample a bit of everything! Very clean! Handicap accessible. Parking is difficult, but free.

    The restaurant was very crowded and extremely noisy. There was music banging in the background which made conversation almost impossible to hear. The decorations were fun and colorful. We were able to park at a nearby parking deck for free. The food quality was 4/5. We did not like the salad or blue cheese dressing. The truffle fries were overrated. The burgers are delicious. Excellent service. Cost $84/2. It’s a very trendy spot.

    Nice lunch, with good atmosphere. Service was terrific, food was very good and seating comfortable.We sat in the enclosed patio in the corner on a nice Saturday afternoon. After a 5 minute wait for an outdoor table,we had the menu explained to us. The menu, can be a little confusing, because (I think) they want to give you many options. Which is good, but can make things confusing. In my experience, there are few places that offer, red meat with a fish choice. The side offering are generous potions. A great combo if you want some red meat, but also a filling healthy meal. I had to ask for more ginger, no biggy. The place was a little noisy, but worth the price. Beware, the entrance is the revolving door on the left.

    I was very excited for my first time at Cowfish, since sushi and burgers are two of my favorite foods. Given the hype around the place, I went there with the expectation of a great burger and great sushi. I’d say that’s mostly what I got. The Bison Burger was delicious, albeit very messy. The Spicy Tuna Roll was good, but nothing special. My partner and I were both surprised that our appetizer and drinks were definitely the highlight of the meal! While we enjoyed our dinner at Cowfish, I wish I had tempered my expectations a bit. It was very expensive for what we got, but mostly good. I’d also recommend putting your name in online before leaving the house, as the off-waitlist wait was about 1 hour and 45 minutes. Overall a good experience, but I can’t say the food merits the price or the long wait times. Still worth a try and I will likely be back!
