                                                                It was just fine. I have a gluten allergy that I made note of while making the reservation in addition putting the special occasion. The staff were friendly and prompt, however there were issues in other things. Our special occasion wasn't once acknowledged, the gluten free bread wasn't available after being told what I could eat, and then they put croutons on my salad after I said no croutons and again reminded them of my allergy. Both of our drinks were too syrupy too. It was just...fine. But when we're paying $320, I don't want just fine. I will say I don't believe this is a location problem, but a problem with Bowdies as a whole. We thought we'd try it at a different location to see if that made a difference and unfortunately was the same.
