   We were celebrating our anniversary which was told to the restaurant. Our server was dry and just blah he didn’t do anything special or extra for us. The steak was amazing! The Brussels were not done and no flavor! They are usually amazing, however they removed them off the bill. We are regulars at Bowdies and we may not be back anytime soon.

   staff and food lived up to the expectations set by the pricing of the entrees. very pleased and will definitely dine there again. our table had both the swordfish and filet…. both full of flavor and quality. salads and sides were good too…. but that’s not why we went. our waiter was ryan… both personnel and professional, more personnel which was a good fit for our table.

   Overpriced and disappointing. This was our first time eating at Bowdie’s and it will be our last. While the shrimp cocktail and escargot were okay and my son’s filet was okay, my red snapper was lukewarm, overcooked and garnished with some type of nondescript paste. My wife’s salmon was likewise dry and over seasoned. The salad garnish for both dishes was drenched with a very salty vinaigrette while the spinach side was likewise quite briny and lukewarm. The truffle fries were way over seasoned, salty, lukewarm. The lobster mac’n cheese was ho-hum- the lobster overcooked…my wife’s vodka tonic was made with flat soda. All of this at a price that was astronomical. Don’t go!

   We went for our 18th anniversary. Should have looked at the menu ahead of time for pricing. $300 for 3 alcoholic drinks, a wedge salad, scallops, brussels, a filet, and a strip. That did include gratuity. Service was excellent but probably won’t go ahead - out of my price range!

   We ordered the small seafood tower and it was fabulous. For dinner we had the Kansas city bone in NY strip, and also the Cowboy steaks. Everything was so delicious and great quality. Definitely well worth the visit.

    My husband and I split the tomahawk ribeye. We had escargot (average, and salty), burrata (okay not as flavorful as other places I’ve tasted). Almost everything was great except all of our meal was over salted! Even the sides, Au gratin potatoes, and mushrooms were seasoned with too much salt. I couldn’t finish my meal. The other couple with us agreed that the food was over seasoned. I would have to say our server was excellent as was the rest of the staff. The crème brûlée was delicious and the portion perfect. We parked in the parking structure near the restaurant and we were able to have our parking validated.

    Wow!! I haven't stopped thinking about Bowdies since I ate there on Sunday. I came to visit from out of town and met here and let me just say, everything was SUPERB! Generally I am not a steak type of person but I ordered the filet mignon and it melted in my mouth. We also had the au grautin potatoes, lobster mac, truffle fries, and brussels...AMAZING! Highly recommend. Very nice ambiance, amazing food, and a delicious Moscato D'Asti recommended by the waiter that paired perfectly with the food. Thank you for the great experience!

    We had Josh as a server! He was super friendly, kept our drinks fresh and cold, and knew all about the food & the drinks! The cocktails....holy moly....super good! Strong, and worth the money! The steak, YUMMY!!!! Loved it! We were a lil disappointed in the Au Gratin Potatoes, we expected them to be a lil bigger in size. However, the Cesear Salad, HUGE!!! We had our own individual salads, and we loved it! It was a lil noisier than we would have liked, but over-all, we really enjoyed our visit! We will DEF come back!!!
