I've eaten here a few times now, and if I had completed this review immediately after my first visit, I certainly would've given Cowfish 5 stars. I had the Pan-Fried Rainbow Trout and it was out-of-this-world. The crispy golden-brown trout laid upon artichoke hearts swimming in a lemon-garlic beurre blanc sauce was the best meal I have had at a restaurant in a long time. I was blown away by the depth of flavor and textures that one dish could have. I also thoroughly enjoyed their Half-Tanked Hefe, a wheat beer brewed in house. After my first trip, I couldn't stop thinking about that meal, and the next I went, lived up to my expectations. During the following visit I ordered the Beer Cheese Burger, which I found lacking in flavor and heavy on the bacon. My most recent trip, I got the trout once again, and this time something was off. The sauce was too sour and it was not quite as good. Throughout my trips here I have also gotten the side salad which tasted fantastic with pickled red onions and a white balsamic vinaigrette, though it was on the pricy side at $6. The desserts are decent here as well, but not as good as the main dishes. I enjoyed the cheesecake with blueberry compote and the carrot cake with candied carrots and walnuts, but they did not blow me away. Regardless, the food is great and the staff are as well. I typically sit at the bar and each bartender has been friendly and helpful. The atmosphere of the restaurant is terrific as well with the brewing area in the dining room as well as an outdoor section perfect for fall days. Overall, I think Cowfish is my favorite restaurant in Lander so far and I am sure I'll be back.

Such a great little restaurant. The food and cocktails were delicious. They have a very nice outdoor space and we were able to bring our pup along with us. We travel quite a bit and are always thankful for restaurants that allow dogs on their patio. We will absolutely be back!

The food and service was very good. Our bartender made us the best Old Fashion I've ever had! Can't wait to go back and try some of the other drinks on their cocktail menu. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Food: 4 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4
