   Wonderful first time over at Bowdie's (Lansing) for my 34rd Birthday. Birthdays and Anniversaries come with free dessert so that was a nice touch. Right from the host table we were welcomed in, greeted with a "Happy Birthday", even came early, but still shown to our table, then upgraded to a more intimate booth. Gorgeous, little restaurant. They have cute little oil lamps on all the tables and that was a nice touch, plus to the romantic oldies /classics like Sinatra playing in the background. It was everything I could've asked for. The cooks cooked everything including our steaks to perfection! Everything was delicious, and portion sixes were great! Overall, I was happy to have found this gem in Lansing instead of leaving town for a nice sit down dinner for special occasions, so we were pleased to have found this local joint. Matthias is the man! He took very good care of us and had a great attitude, seemed to enjoy his job and we enjoyed him. The ambiance is nice, we arrived at 8:15pm so it was a tad busy and noisy but after 8:30 the crowd died down and it was quaint and noise level perfect to where we could enjoy the dinner tunes being played. Would recommend!

   The food was outstanding. From the duck ravioli to the shrimp bisque, bone in filet and Ahi Tuna, with sides of mushrooms and the lobster Mac and cheese, Bowdies killed it! Great job! Just remember you are paying for this awesome food! It isn’t free! For special occasions, go out of your way to visit. You won’t be disappointed!

   Celebrated our wedding anniversary—overall service and food was impeccable once again. One of our favorite steak houses in the US and by far, the best in Michigan.

   Bowdies Chophouse never disappoints! We love the small and intimate ambiance. The quality of food and preparation are top notch combined with excellent service. You’re in luck with Paul as your waiter. He offers great wine pairing suggestions and preparation recommendations. If your open to an Escargot appetizer…it’s amazing! Based on Pauls recommendation we also ordered the Ahi Tuna - an exceptional appetizer not always on the menu. The prime cuts of beef selections and preparation will bring you back! Definitely worth making a reservation for a truly enjoyable experience.

   We’ve been here several times now, and every visit has been consistently excellent. Our usual waiter always provides exceptional service—attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, which really adds to the experience. The tomahawk steak is a standout: perfectly cooked, tender, and full of flavor. The truffle fries are amazing, and both the mushrooms and the seasonal vegetables are prepared with such depth of flavor. Everything—from the food to the atmosphere—keeps us coming back.

   Food was off the charts great. My filet was the best I’ve had….period. Only complaint is that it is a very loud restaurant , mainly because it is so small and always busy.
