    22 Bowens food is some of the best in Newport. The rooms are comfortable, casual, and perfect for lunch or dinner. A well trained staff provides exceptional service.

    Worst steak we ever had. It smelled like bad meat. Rough and under cooked too. They comped us for the meal. Only bad meal we ever had in Newport. Unfortunate.

    Food was excellent as usual. Disappointed in the seating. We had a reservation for 2 and got ushered to a tiny table in the corner without a view while tables for 4 were open and others were occupied by 2 patrons . Server was nice but forgot to offer specials.

    Great place for people watching but somewhat loud consequently. Food was pretty good but skip the chopped wedge, lettuce was tired, pretty dull overall. Bread finally came, was rock hard. That said, the steaks were very good, we had the prime delmonico (ribeye) and the strip au poivre. Sides are HUGE, we could barely touch them after the generous steaks. Lots of leftovers. Place is not cheap.
