   this was one of my favorite dining experiences I’ve had in a while, and one of my favorite birthday’s as well. Noah was great and very attentive. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone wanting to dine in the city

   Overwrought dishes that consistently tasted off. Corporate feeling decor. Didn't feel like eating in New Orleans.

   this kitchen does some fun fusion of flavors, especially with the starters. the chef's charcuterie board was just fair. for the price , there has to be more volume of cheese and meats. we shared between 3 persons and had just a nibble each. the other plates were better proportioned. and turns the music down a bit so we can talk easily and be heard by the person across the table.

   Best bolognese I’ve ever had. Incredible playlist but the music was at a good level so we could still hear each other. Amazing ambience & great services. I was really impressed

   Food was excellent. I like coffee - especially with desert - so was a little disappointed when we learned they do not serve coffee! No coffee - no desert in my world. But overall a good experience with great atmosphere, service and food!

    Nice ambience and service, but food a little underwhelming. Excellent wine selection both in bottle and by the glass. Would probably come again at happy hour to experience more of the small plates before coming for dinner again.

    Service was great! The vibe of this place is so cute. Our small plates were over salted. The pesto spaghetti was :chefs kiss: delish! We were a bit disappointed in the dessert. We ordered a scoop of ice cream and it came out like soup. The weirdest part was no one said anything. Like that's how ice cream should be served?? Finally a manager overheard us talking and mentioned the freezer was out so they were discounting our ice cream. Kinda weird to say after the fact. But overall good meal.

    The food was delicious, and some unique options. We had whipped feta, basil spaghetti, and the pork loin. All we’re amazing, and I couldn’t pick a favorite! We sat outside, the ambiance was great. We would definitely come back and try some more of their menu!

    Server was great. Cocktail beautiful and very good. Appetizers/small plates really good and better than entrees. Pappardelle tasted undercooked and sauce too sweet. We were seated at table in bar area - room way too dark. We could not see menu or food very well.

    Absolutely incredible! We were visiting New Orleans for the first time and this restaurant came highly recommended. Between the ambiance, the handcrafted cocktails and the delicious food we were in heaven! I think we ordered almost everything on the menu but our favorites were the charcuterie board, the potatoes (you might think how could potatoes be that good…they were beyond words!), the cherry tomatoes- so yummy, pappardelle bolognese so creamy and delicious and our all time favorite the gulf shrimp confit conchiglie was to die for!!!! We are already planning our next trip back and The Bower will be our first stop!

    The menu was small, but included a good variety of interesting taste combos. Defunitely not your typical New Orleans menu. Everything my group of five had was delicious from the tuna tartar to the pasta Bolognese. The pumpkin hand pie desert was not up to the level of the entrées and was only "ok." The Bower also has a very nice bar and an extensive list of wines by the bottle. We sat outside since the night was beautiful, so there was no noise issue. I was told it can get pretty loud inside. Overall, had a great time, and would definitely go back.

    Excellent beet infused vodka cocktail, carpaccio perfectly seasoned and accompanied with arugula and melon, perfect use of citrus in all dishes. Whipped feta was amazing, tuna tartar was second to none. The music, ambiance, service and food quality were each 5/5 stars, our server Elizabeth was super attentive as well, highly recommend!

    14 year old daughter ordered cheese plate for $35 as her dinner. Portions were so small, she had to order another. The tuna tartare very good. Crispy cauliflower good. Tomtatoe salad above average. Pricing incongruent with product.

    I’ve had many great experiences at the Bower but on Friday, they were having a private event which delayed essentially everything-but especially drinks. We waited 25 minutes for our first cocktail, then we switched to wine and it was fine though the wine wasn’t chilled when it arrived. It wasn’t a typical experience for this place but if it had been a special occasion, I would have been disappointed.
