    Our first time at Cowford but certainly won't be our last. We enjoyed a drink at the rooftop before being sat promptly at our reservation time. The service was the perfect amount of interaction and information and the dinner was superb.

    Excellent food in variety, taste, and serving size. Friendly and efficient service. Dishes are prepared when ordered, this isn't and was never intended to be a fast food restaurant. So your food arrives fresh hot and delicious. Most recently I hosted a party of 7 and the cost was still very reasonable. One of my favorite restaurants to bring guests!

    We enjoy dining at Jax Spice. This is the sixth time we've been there over the many years it has been there. We had a table of six and it seemed at first they we're under staffed as we had to wait for at least ten minutes before a server came to our table. After they took our orders, most everything seemed to go smoothly. The atmosphere isn't any bit elegant but the food is great!
