    Usually we love bowman's but this was not a great experience. Seems like a big staff turn over and we we placed next to a large noisy table - even though many empty tables in restaurant. Our service took forever to show up. Drinks came after appetizer. My order was messed up. Salmon and swordfish both were overcooked. Server never asked us for a cocktail refill? So not sure what's going on. We will try again and hope it is better. It is one of our fav spots to go.

    Good food and drinks are to be found at this nice staple of beautiful downtown New Hope. Though the real star of the show is their wonderful presentation of The Great American Songbook, presented live here on selected fine evenings .

    My husband and I don't visit this restaurant often enough. Ambiance, food, staff, live music, multiple bars/dining areas are all top notch. It has everything one could want in a restaurant. I'd give it 10 stars if I could!
