    My fiancé proposed to me and afterwards got us reservations to Bowen 22. It was such an appreciative experience. We were originally there for my birthday but once she found out he proposed she set us up in the best seats and complimentary bubbly. The staff was just so kind and made the end of our night special. The food was a 10/10 the chefs are amazing. I would recommend here to everyone who has a special occasion or just wants wonderful food!

    Excellent dinner service was delightful. We dined with our five year-old daughters and they had a very nice children selection. We had a wonderful view of the boats and the sunset.Will definitely go back.

    The chowder was terrible thick gummy and flavorless The cocktails were uninspiring The fish and chips should have been perfect but just mediocre. Always a favorite for us. Sorry it has gone downhill

    Everything was very nice, the service was good and the food was good. It is extremely overpriced, but you pay for the area and waterfront, I guess. The only thing I didn't like was the hostesses standing outside to seat people. It was very confusing as to where to go or how to get in. We went inside, then had to walk outside just to walk back in. The bathroom also could have been a lot cleaner, for the price and ambiance they are trying to give I would've expected the restaurant to be kept up a little more. All in all, a nice lunch.

    The ribeye, the salad and the lobster bisque were really good. The wagyu dumplings were a bit of a letdown (greasy and just a tiny bit of filling).

    Our waiter Adam was excellent but our steaks were well done instead of medium with barely any taste. Disappointed in what was supposed to be a premium dining experience.
