    It was fine the food was good. They don’t let you order the burger to the table which just seems like a silly rule. It feels expensive for the sake of being expensive. The food was fine but I probably won’t go again.

    Food was not up to par. Rib cap was good but filet mignon is below average. Ordered medium but they brought it medium well. The meat itself was not good either.

    It was so hot in there that the experience was totally unpleasant. Who wants to eat a big heavy meal of steak while sweating? Nevertheless pay outrageous prices to do so. We also had to wait 10 minutes past our reservation (outside in the hot sun) before they opened the doors. Don’t accept reservations at 5pm if you won’t open until 5:10pm. I was with my mother who just finished radiation treatments, and really shouldn’t be in the sun at all. Won’t be back.

    Amazing service - incredibly attentive. The food was outstanding and portions were generous. Truly one of the best meals I've had in a while! You owe it to yourself to try the house made ricotta appetizer.

    We had the MOST amazing experience at Bowery Meat Company!!! I took my boyfriend there for his birthday and the food, service, and ambiance were perfect. Special shout-out to Patricia, the sommelier, who hooked it up and was FANTASTIC. This was my second time at BMC and definitely not the last. SEE YA NEXT WEEK, PATRICIA (jk...but not really)!

    Over all it was great. Food tasted amazing. Only thing that I was not happy with was that the service was not quick. I believe they were understaffed that day. If our wait staff came around more often, we could have order more.

    Average steak house. Felt over priced and tired - the steak itself was great but the mashed potatoes tasted like instant potatoes and the shrimp cocktail was average sized shrimp served in an unimpressive dish.

    Been 50+ times and will not be back. Chef randomly decides to implement No substitution policy. The restaurant was not busy. The Mac and cheese was like soup. The server literally took our order and our check and didn’t check on us once in between. I’m not a person who writes reviews but that was terrible.

    An absolutely amazing experience! The service was great and the food was incredible. I don’t generally like steak, but my boyfriend loves it so I was willing to try it. This was the first time I’ve ever genuinely liked steak in my life. The drinks were amazing as well. Make sure to leave room for the deep dish cookie for dessert as well!

    My mom and I went for a nice dinner while she was visiting. We made reservations for 8:15 pm and arrived at 8 pm and grabbed a drink at the bar. It was super busy and we unfortunately didn’t get sat until 8:45, but the host (I believe he may have been the manager) was very kind and gave us a great booth made for 4-5 people for the inconvenience. We also met the chef who was very nice! My filet was cooked perfectly and au jou sauce was amazing. Will definitely be visiting again!
