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!!!

Server appeared to have too many tables couldn’t keep up with service. Ordered the filet medium came out rare to medium rare. Was gong to send back but didn’t want ruin the evening with my spouse waiting for the server….

Unfortunately who ever was serving us did not do a good job at all. We were greeted early and we asked for a couple of mins to look at the wine list. Then we waited for a while like 15-20mins and had to call them. She took our order but later came back saying they were out of the bone marrow appetizer. We were bummed out but got a bit irritated due to - the waitress not informing us they would be out soon because that day for some whole reason in the world everyone was ordering atleast 10-15 per table. Wth? And to top it off some people who came after us got that dish in that same amount. Also her saying that this is the first time in the year did not make any sense at all. You can imagine what they tried to do. For such a classy place this is not a great way to treat the customers. At the end they offered an appetizer off but still didn’t sit well with me. We just called it a bad experience and left for the day.

I liked the ambiance and our server was great. My husband and I split the bone-in ribeye which was plenty of meat for the 2 of us. My portion was very good, but my husband had about 7 bites which had gristle. In my opinion, a $72 steak shouldn't have any gristle.

We enjoyed our time at Bowdies. Definitely go for steak and the lobster tail. Besides that, the rest of the food was ok. We also ordered the burrata, which was very mediocre. And the vegetable sides were way too buttery. The ambiance and service was exceptional. I would go again knowing to stick to what they do best, steak.
