Okayyy this place was real cute. We came early for date night because kids, but the bar area upstairs didn't open until 6. SO we opted to sit at the bar area in the dining room. We enjoyed happy hour(bar only) until 7pm with cocktails, wine and appetizers which were out of this world. We ordered the meatballs on rice, oysters and the steak skewers which were phenomenal. Our bartender, Laura, was outstanding! They all were, but she served us. We are always skeptical of our fav drinks being prepared the way they should be, and SHE DID THAT. Old Fashioned was spot on, as well as my dirty martini! Yes ma'am, top tier! The dining menu is very expensive, VERY expensive but for a regular week night date, the appys were optimal. Everything we ate was beyond amazing, we will be back!

Cowford chophouse exceeded our expectations! We tried eating on the rooftop but there was a party of 10 women that were insanely loud so we decided to eat downstairs and we were so glad we did!!! We had the best server, Andres! He was so kind, knowledgeable and totally loveable. The wine list they provide you with hits any flavor profile you would be interested in to pair with your meal and the food was delicious! My husband and I had the sea bass and the duck fat cornbread and it was AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING. We got the au gratin potato's and wild mushrooms as our sides and those were also perfect. We ended the night with a crème brûlée that we both agreed was the best one we've ever had. All in all, go to Cowford chophouse!!

Went for Friday night dinner before Fl theater show. Seated on second floor as requested but 2 of seats faced due West and sun was imposing most of the meal even with shade drawn. Ordered a nice bottle of cote du Rhône red and Chardonnay. Very happy with wine list and selected wine. For appetizers had the raw oysters and corn bread - both good. Entrees - Ribeye, filet, American wagyu and double lamb chops. All delicious and properly cooked to order. Sides - Pimento Mac and cheese, au gratin potatoes and mushroom mix. The mushrooms and potatoes good. The Mac and cheese extremely dry. Service was good, with exception that waiter did not ask how we wanted bill and we were 2 couples. The seater did also offer both white and black napkins - which was appreciated.

Amazing vibes, food, and views. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to Cowford Chophouse. While they don't require reservations, I highly recommend you book one if you want to visit because it was certainly busy on a Tuesday evening. Luckily, the weather wasn't too hot so we were able to grab a seat at the rooftop bar. From the appetizer, to my steak entree, to the dessert, the food was served fresh and was well seasoned. The bartenders (can't remember their names) were super nice and gave us some great recommendations! This place is definitely somewhere you want to check out!

Having never catered a dinner for 25+ I had no idea how this would turn out!!! From my initial phone call to saying goodnight the evening of my event... the entire collaboration was SEAMLESS! The event coordinator was MORE than helpful; extremely gracious; one of the kindest individuals I've ever met! The menu choices were plentiful... appetizers to deserts! OH MY GOD... the wedge salad and filet mignon are both to die for! The wait staff that were chosen for my event were PERFECTLY chosen! They helped in every possible way they could from the moment I arrived to decorate all the way through until the last guest left. They even offered to help me pack up the decorations! Cowford chophouse should be anyone AND everyone's ONLY choice to host an event! It was my first choice and will be my forever go-to for ANY event! Complete perfection for a beautifully heartfelt occasion!

Ambiance was awesome! Food was delicious! Service impeccable and prompt! I cannot wait to go back to visit this beautiful establishment!

We booked Cowford for New Year's Eve this year since we found ourselves staying in town and being responsible for my Dad. We were happy to get a reservation about a month out but did not realize you have to request the second floor dining as we had never done that and always had second floor seating. That was a big disappointment to all of us. The service was good and the food was prepared very well but the table on the bottom floor, next to the bar, which was super noisy was bad. It really annoyed my Dad who has dementia and bothered my husband and me too. Note to self and others request second level dining. The views and atmosphere are much better! The bread basket they bring out to start is awesome. We also had wine and beer. We had a wedge salad to start for hubby and me. We requested the bacon on the side as I don't eat meat. It's a great BIG salad. The guys had a filet, a new your strip, and I had the grouper. We also shared asparagus and French fries. Everything was delicious. This is a great old fashioned style steak restaurant but also offers seafood dishes. The sides are great and served family style for sharing. The restaurant is beautiful. They also have a rooftop bar. Reservations are definitely needed and dress to impress is our motto when we go. Enjoy.

Visited prior to a show in the Florida Theater, what an amazing view of Jacksonville from their rooftop. We were there early to enjoy happy hour bites and cocktails, but you can order from the restaurant menu in the rooftop as well. We ordered a variety of items, my favorite was the cornbread that comes with crab and crème fresh and fresh lobster, delicious! We also had the meatballs, oysters that were covered with pimento cheese and had a slight kick to them, so yummy! Super great service and nice menu, will definitely visit again soon!

Back at Cowford and this time to celebrate my birthday! I love the ambience of this restaurant, not only is the rooftop superb for photos - the dining room is modern and immaculate as well. My parents and I had a reservation for 6:45pm and sat on the second floor which overlooked the bar area and has a great view of the bridge. Our server was very attentive to our table and professional. For a Tuesday night, it was a packed house in the dining room and rooftop - so we really appreciated the attention to detail from our server. We ordered the duck fat cornbread and Cowford Rocks without bacon for our starters. These are my favorite appetizers hands down. The lump crab and lobster meat on top of the moist piece of cornbread is the perfect balance with flavoring and texture. The oysters are so plump and that pimento cheese adds that kick to pack in the flavor. For dinner, I ordered the rack of lamb that comes with mint jelly. I thought it was going to be small individual lamb chops, however to my surprise it was the lamb itself on my plate. I asked for medium plus temperature and it was perfectly cooked and seasoned. They give you 3 big racks and the mint jelly is not too minty tasty but adding a sweetness to the lamb. This lamb didn't have that gamey taste that a lot of times lamb can have. For sides, the potatoes au gratin and roasted brussels sprouts were divine. No complaints at all. If you celebrate your birthday here - you get a dessert of your choice. I chose the cinnamon roll creme brulee. Something I haven't tried or seen and wow was it amazing. The cinnamon roll was fresh and the creme brulee was baked into the top of the roll. It also came with a caramel sauce drizzle and this was shared between myself and my parents. Overall, an amazing experience from the vibes, food, and service. I can't wait to come back, this is definitely one of the best steakhouses in Jacksonville!
