Red Cow: Reviews & Ratings
Foods pretty good overall, price point is a bit high. Service and ambiance are pretty good
This little gem is in our neighborhood and I so appreciate the happy hour between 3 and 5 PM. The mussels and French dip, which are on the happy hour, are our favs. The French onion soup is perfection and we crave it, especially at this time of year when it's cold out. Love the options for vegetable side dishes which are prepared with attention. Also, the nonalcoholic options from the bar have been pretty tasty. Also, the weight staff is very attentive. Thank you for being in the neighborhood!
As an avid fan of Ethan Stowell restaurants, I was eager to try RedCow with my family visiting from Arizona. The location was convenient, being close to where they were staying. We arrived early and were seated right away. The wine was delightful, and the cocktails were superb! I ordered the steak and fries, while we also indulged in the wild pheasant and pork chop. However, RedCow is certainly on the pricier side for what you receive. Unfortunately, as we were leaving, my dad had difficulty opening the door as it requires pushing instead of pulling, and it is not clearly marked. The individual whom I assumed to be the manager, who had been at a computer earlier, made a remark, "Guys, It's really not that hard" which was quite off-putting, especially after spending over $300 on dinner. Given my background in Customer Service, the comment was particularly disappointing. Despite my appreciation for Ethan Stowell's establishments, I won't be returning to this location due to the overall service and experience.
This is a really great place to get tasty food and a wonderful dining experience at a reasonable price. The burger is really good but the best dishes are the seasonal ones that the chef comes up with.
This place is AWESOME. Great steaks and plates! Highly recommend and will go back! It's extremely RARE that you get such a loaded treat like this!!

I went here for happy hour to get some meat dishes, as the name of the restaurant suggests (Red Cow). For dinner they are mostly known for steak frites at a premium (starting at $50+) so we decided to get something similar from the happy hour menu - steak brochette, as well as the steak tartare. The steak brochette was requested medium rare though it was more like medium well, but the meat is still juicy and nicely seasoned. It comes with fries that are decent as well as the horseradish cream that was not too strong, so you can use liberally. The steak tartare was okay - the pickles were way too strong and I've had better. Service is good as they refill water regularly and food came out decently quick. We were able to thoroughly enjoy the meal in around 30 minutes, and we didn't rush at all.
