Was in Lansing on a business trip. Went out to Bowdies with some co workers as it was highly recommended by some locals. Our table ordered some cowboy ribeyes and a fillet along with deconstructed crab cake, duck ravioli, lobster mac and potatoes au gratin. Every thing was amazing. The steaks were delicious and were cooked perfectly. Only complaint is now I need to move to Lansing If I want to eat there again.

Some of the very best service you will find in our state. A very nice selection of wines without being overwhelming. They have genuine bartenders who know how to mix cocktails. Our steaks were cooked to perfection. Absolutely delicious. The only suggestion I would make is to clean up the back entrance stairs from the parking lot. Outdoor carpet is disintegrating. Not a good state as you are coming in. This is an A+ place to dine. $$$$

Even though they overbooked for dinner reservations, they were able to accommodate us on the patio. Excellent and friendly service! The portions were very large - glad we shared a steak. Best steak ever! We enjoyed the patio as the evening provided cooler temps and no direct sun. Inside was very crowded and noisy.

We have been there several times and it never disappoints. We brought our friends there for her birthday celebration. We both ordered the Chilean sea bass with lemon caper butter, tasty, but it was broken. Our husbands ordered the filet that was cooked perfectly mid rare! We also had the lobster Mac N cheese. Delicious, but had to request them to cut the tail up. Overall a wonder meal!

We went here for my boyfriends birthday, the food was amazing and the service was wonderful as well. Would 100% recommend. The steak he had was perfectly cooked, and I had salmon with a great wine paring that was recommended by our waitress. They even brought out a brownie for dessert with a candle for him!

Kevin and his entire staff were on point! They sat us quickly, even after we informed them we had an unexpected plus one. Garrett worked with the other wait staff, as a team and they exceeded our expectations. Their 5-Star performance made for a 5-Star experience. If you are a local or find yourself in downtown Lansing, I highly recommend that you stop in!

Food and wait staff were nothing short of outstanding. Was nice inside, quiet enough to hold conversation. Prices, while high compared to your average dining experience, seemed to be on par with other comparable, high end restaurants. A great place to have a special meal for a special occasion.
