I recently revisited Mowry & Cotton after having a great experience there for brunch a few years ago. Unfortunately, this time around, it was a disappointing visit that didn’t live up to my prior expectations.
The most noticeable difference was in the food quality, which seemed to have dropped significantly while the prices have surged. For three people, we ordered three drinks, three mains, and one appetizer, and the bill came out to a steep $200. For the price, we expected much more in terms of both flavor and presentation.
For the appetizer, we tried the tomato flatbread, which was forgettable and lacked any real punch. As for the mains, we had the tacos, croque madame, and ahi tuna bowl. The barbacoa in the tacos was the only highlight—tender and flavorful—but the rest of the dish, like the other mains, felt bland and uninspired.
The service didn’t redeem the experience either. Our server was distant and somewhat curt, making the overall atmosphere less enjoyable. While not outright rude, their standoffishness added to the sense that the restaurant has lost the charm it once had.
In the end, Mowry & Cotton felt like an overpriced and underwhelming dining experience. With a bill that high, I was hoping for something memorable, but instead, it felt like a letdown. I give it a 4/10 and probably won’t be returning anytime soon.
