Went last night to
Cowboys Steakhouse in Prague (part of the
Kampa Group) with my mom, Kamila, and Radek. Kamila and I haven't been there since it opened, so she was eager for another visit as she's a big steak fan.

The first thing my mom commented on was the decor - having grown up on a farm, she knows a fair bit about cows. She couldn't help but point out that the
black and white spotted upholstery in the restaurant is the coloring of a
Holstein cow, which is a
dairy cow, not a cow you make into steaks.
The good news for my mom was that Cowboys is now a completely non-smoking restaurant, which is still somewhat unusual in Prague. I can understand the thinking behind this decision - Cowboys serves mostly expats and tourists, and they don't want their 1000 CZK steak ruined by the cigarette smoke wafting in from the next table.

Kamila had the Steak Tartar to start (did I mention that she really likes meat?) and pronounced it to be some of the best she's had. Radek had some
tuna dish, but I didn't ask him what he thought of it. My mom and I made do with the
little bread squares in olive oil that were placed on our table.

As for the main course, Kamila and Radek had the Filet Mignon (see photo above), my mom chose the American T-bone, and I went with the cheeseburger. All the steaks were excellent (according to my dining companions), and my cheeseburger was very good (but I don't eat cheeseburgers very often, so I may not be the best person to judge).
We didn't have dessert, choosing instead to wander down
Nerudova for a
coffee at the
newly opened Starbucks in Prague.

So, we had very good food, and the service was attentive. The only issue was, of course, price. If you eat at Cowboys, and order a starter, some wine, and a
steak, plan on spending at least
1500 CZK ($85.00) per person. I'll definitely return, but for a regular night out, $200 for two is a bit steep for my tastes.
