“ Ulisses was our superb waiter!!! So attentive and kind. I got tri tip slices and they were so delicious ! I ate them all and also had their wonderful house salad full of so many yummy little things, seeds and raisins and a tomato and little brown pieces of wontons and of course mixed lettuce. The dressing is to die for. Mom got their soup of the day which was butternut squash. And she said it was better than any other soup she had ever had. She is 89 so that says a lot. She also shared her scrumptious zucchini bread with cold butter. Such a great meal we left feeling quite satisfied and healthy. Thank you Black Cow. Your chefs always rock the menu with specials but your regular choices are always good too! ”
