The new Motley Cow in Iowa City – in a modern building with a plate glass front – didn’t look as interesting as the old funky Motley Cow in Iowa City but we tried it last week for lunch (when Devotay, a favorite tapas place across the street, was, alas, closing by 2 p.m.  – close to when we arrived) and it was still very good. I had a beautifully cooked piece of salmon (moist on the inside but not raw, crisp on the outside but not dry) atop a bed of spring greens with a light cumin-buttermilk dressing and capers. My daughter’s dish escapes me but was good too. So thumbs up.
