    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.

    I had requested seating for second floor outside on my reservation, plus reconfirmed the request in person when we got to Newport. Just note, they can’t accommodate seating requests. We were seated on the second level, breeze was lovely. Then a woman, who was very sunburned, (wearing a spaghetti strap sundress), asked the waiter to lower all the plastic shades because she was cold. The dining area became a hot house then. So the evening was spent sitting in a “greenhouse” while trying to enjoy our dinner on a warm July evening. The waitress seemed very preoccupied and did not have much of a personality. Food was good. Drinks were good. Eating in a hot atmosphere with the full sun outside beating down on the plastic shades, not so good.

    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.
