Restaurants near Cow Palace

It’s so hard to find an exceptional dining establishment nowadays. Elena’s is my dining go to since February 2024. It was a fluke that I came upon this amazing place. The ambiance is so warm and inviting and classy. Everyone that interacted with us was friendly and professional and knowledgeable. We love the frozen margarita and the coconut margarita. The guacamole is fresh,chunky and delicious. The gobernado looked amazing and I will order that item in the future. Chicken quesadilla was perfect, loaded with chicken and perfectly crispy tortilla. Fish tacos looked great also and you know that we eat with our eyes first. The food presentations were all exceptional. Our server Kayla B. made us feel welcome and her timing for service was perfection. She made our entire meal from start to finish an amazing dining experience. My guests were very happy with Elena’s. Professionalism isn’t running rampant in our industry anymore and she is a breath of fresh air. The entire team, front and back of house(open kitchen) is awesome! Thank you once again for a phenomenal experience.

A beautiful setting with indoor palm trees and a calming fountain are perfect for the high class menu offerings. The food was of a high quality and exceeded my expectations. We definitely will be returning.

Had our girls Christmas lunch at Joe’s of Westlake and as always had a wonderful time. The cocktails and food were excellent and the servers were happy and friendly which we appreciate so much. It was a wonderful day and there no other place that that would top this restaurant. I look forward to my next special occasion.

Zuni Cafe was just what we hoped it would be—outstanding. The garlic bread with burrata, peppers and onion was outstanding and the soup was very good. The halibut and duck leg mains were excellent. The fries (string potatoes) were delivered late and, frankly, weren’t as good as they looked. The pavlova dessert was a good way to cap the meal. We definitely would go back again.

We absolutely love the flavors and food presentation at FC. It's a fun spot, especially with the casual outdoor seating. The selection of international wines is fantastic. If you're coming with a large group, you're sure to have a great time. We've had many memorable family dinners here and always look forward to the next one!
