   We had an amazing dinner at Bowdies…the food was exceptional and our server, Paul was delightful giving us just the right combination of attention and conversation. The restaurant was completely full and since it is so small a bit noisier than on my previous visits. We were seated at a table next to a curtain that must hold storage of some sort…. that was my only complaint…I was freezing from the draft!

   Steaks were prepared well and very flavorful. The au gratin potatoes, tho good were dry. No bread/rolls available but they offered crostini. It’s a lovely restaurant, service was friendly and excellent. Price was as expected. As good as it was, we’ve had better so our bar is high.

   The great reviews about Bowdie’s are spot on. It was our first visit and they really did not disappoint. Filets were among the best we’ve had, escargot were excellent, wedge salad better than Capital Grille, au gratin potatoes better than at an excellent restaurant I was recently at in Chicago. Blood orange sorbet was an excellent ending with very good coffee. Mushrooms were a little brown for my taste but still quite good. This was a celebratory dinner for my friend’s retirement and the staff were very acknowledging of this. Went out of their way to congratulate several times and even arranged to take delivery of flowers I had sent from a nearby florist and had them waiting in our booth when we arrived. And my friend’s sorbet was complimentary. It was a great evening and although not inexpensive by any means, still a very great value because the food & experience were all great. The sides are large and heed the advice that they are shareable. And the place was very busy the entire time; obviously it has a great reputation! Highly recommend!

    Our dinner at Bowdies was outstanding - every dish was so well prepared and tasty! We had the shrimp bisque which had large chunks of shrimp and was delicious. We also had the smoked duck ravioli appetizer, which was in a creamy sauce that was to die for. the bone in filet, the regular filet and the special lamb chops were superb. We also had the sides which are so good. The portions are large. The service was impeccable. The wine list is fabulous. A wonderful meal!
