    First time in on a Sat. nite and will definitely be going back. Despite being a bit loud (expected for a Sports bar), we had a great experience from drinks to server. If you request Lydia, you won't be disappointed. She was helpful with menu questions and had great suggestions (suggesting ordering the kids pasta to go with my meal when I asked for a carb). The drinks were good and my chicken milanese was delish! My husband got the steak frites which he said were very good. Sangria was excellent. Will for sure be going back as there were more items on the menu that I'd like to try. Their brunch also looks great. Pitchers of Aperole Spritz? Need I say more??

    Wanted to visit this restaurant for quite some time. Finally decided to dine in a yurt for our wedding anniversary and give the location a try! Enjoyed the overall experience, service was attentive and food was tasty. The only reason I did not rate the restaurant as 5 stars was simply that no one acknowledged our wedding anniversary, this information was provided at the time of the reservation booking; not a single comment or nice gesture from the time we checked in with the hostess or from the servers, until we departed. The lack of attention to detail for such a scared and celebratory day, left me slightly disappointed. The small touches matter and allow for special occasions out to be more memorable. Would have made a grand difference. Otherwise, would return for the summer outdoor patio.

    I always forget how much I love Bowery until I’m sitting there ordering. Everything is just so good. This is one place to NEVER SKIP apps. Just sooooo good.

    Friends and I booked a yurt dining experience for my birthday. It was awesome, and service was quick! Friendly staff. Highly recommend trying out the yurts when in season!
