Reviews for The Spotted Cow

We came to The Spotted Cow for the steak but were let down almost immediately. Our waitress, Sam T (as listed on the receipt), told us there were no cocktails and no drink menu. For a venue with a full-sized bar, that was surprising. Even more confusing : no wine at a place selling “premium” steak? My wife checked reviews while we were there and saw that they used to serve cocktails, so something has clearly changed for the worse. Our soft drinks arrived with what looked like hardened snot on the side of the glass. There were two burgers sitting on the counter when we first walked in. About 25 minutes into our visit, we watched a male staff member place the back of his hand on one to check its temperature… Whether they were for staff or simply forgotten, it didn’t give a good impression. The menu didn’t mention that a baked potato would cost an extra $3. It’s listed alongside the included side choices, but the surcharge is only revealed when you ask for it. When it came out, it was just a plain whole potato with a line of sour cream and a sprinkle of chive. No salt or pepper on the table, and none was offered. My first bite of my steak and I pulled out a hair. I dismissed it as mine, until I found another one underneath the steak that clearly wasn’t. We were the only customers there. With no one else to serve, you’d think extra care would be taken. Sadly, that wasn’t the case. The steak tasted good, but between the hygiene issues, unclear pricing, and poor attention to detail/service, we won’t be coming back. $105 experience. P.s - When we left, those same burgers were still sitting there. Why I wonder.

Thanks spotted cow staff. Good food. Service was great effort, clearly down on numbers, your manager was gracious and competent under pressure. Well done. Acoustics could do with some work in the back room but warm and pub like atmosphere. Happy to return.

Recommended by a friend. Dropped in for a great priced Wednesday night Wagyu steak special. Food was tasty and steak cooked perfectly. Great service from Bianca and Harry. Could do with a few more than 3 wine options by the glass though.

Greatest tavern food we've had in ages. Every detail of these two basic meals (parmi and fish and chips) was done to perfection. Brilliant cooking with fresh salad ingredients, very generous serves and excellent table service.

Amazing. I haven’t been to the cow, since the cow got stolen. We ordered all the entrees to share between cocktails and all of them were absolutely superb. Everything fresh and bursting with flavour. It was honestly understaffed, but you couldn’t tell, one man on the bar whipping up cocktails that made your eyes roll with pleasure, one lady taking orders and serving meals in the dining room without any delay in service. 10/10.
