The Cow & Sow (Queen Square) Restaurant in Bristol

   Had an early dinner before a show. Location was perfect for the city centre area. Restaurant had good lighting inside and out, and seating was comfortable. By 5:30 the place was getting quite busy, attesting I guess to its popularity. Beef and pork, as the name of the establishment suggests. But they also feature fish, if you prefer. Steak was nicely prepared, and the sides were generously portioned. I had the roasted savoy cabbage and it was very tasty. Really sated my need for veggies after a long travel. Didn't have room for dessert afterwards (and it was getting close to show time). Service was very good, and the server JAMIE was attentive and helpful. It was a bit slow getting the bill -- had to ask twice for it, but it wasn't a big deal. All in all a very good meal. If you like meat, you should find this a most enjoyable dining experience.

   We shared a 1100g Tomahawk between three people. We ordered a medium rare steak but it turned out a bit too raw in the middle and the fat hasn’t been rendered enough. Hence the meat was quite hard to chew. The cider & whole grain mustard sauce lacked mustard flavour. The highlight of the meal was the onion blossom which was crispy and delicious. The restaurant was very busy so service was on the slow side. Our server Jamie was friendly. Nice atmosphere but it got quite noisy. Overall, it’s a good experience and the price of the whole dinner was very reasonable.

   Mickela was so attentive and friendly from the get go- she was quick with service and we hardly had to wait for anything. The food was exceptional- tasty and fresh. The best roast dinner i’ve ever had. The drinks selection is plentiful and had a variety of wines (which was great to see!) Finally, our desserts were presented well and were delicious too. Overall, we had not one complaint. I highly recommend!

   We had such a great time at this steakhouse today. The food was beautiful, and our steak was cooked perfectly. The atmosphere was lovely and warm. The best part was our waitress, Kayla, she was amazing. She made us feel welcome and took great care of us. This cute little message really made our day. Little things like that make a big difference. I’ll definitely come back again and hope to see Kayla next time!

   10/10 easily. I simply cannot find a single fault with the dining experience here. Staff members were all incredibly pleasant, service was extremely nice. Food and drinks were excellent and completely out of this world, worth every penny. The atmosphere in the evening was amazing, and makes it the perfect experience all around. Definitely recommend and would return, Amelie was stellar with her service.

   We visited this restaurant for Sunday lunch and came back the next day. And the next. Super menu, engaging and attentive staff and a cool ambience. Recommended.

   I can't recommend this place enough for a Sunday roast. The staff were extremely attentive and the food was excellent and cooked to perfection. I had the beef brisket and burnt ends to start and my girlfriend had the veggie Wellington and calamari to start. The presentation was beautiful and we all enjoyed our meals thoroughly. Will definitely be coming back!

   We visited on a Sunday for the second time as we remembered how delicious the roasts are. I was given a complimentary glass of prosecco as it was my birthday which was really appreciated! We ordered a mix of starters - the grilled pineapple was a surprise favourite! The cocktails are great and they were doing pina coladas which we love. Service is always very friendly and the food is great. Looking forward to visiting one day for the steaks!

   Lovely new restaurant. My partner and I went here for a Sunday roast to try it out and it was definitely worth it. We turned up a little late (6pm) but to my surprise, the meat was still juicy. Waiter was really nice, even took off our service charge as they were understaffed, although not needed but it was a nice gesture. *edit* I don’t agree with that first review - good price and plenty of spacious and comfortable seating. Will definitely be coming back. Cheers!
