I took my wife here for her birthday and they did not disappoint. We had the most amazing spread with almost everything on the menu and I couldn’t complain about a single thing! Everything was cooked to perfection and the staff were so impressive that we had to buy a round of beers for everyone. I’ll definitely be coming back when we’re back in town. In my opinion this restaurant is a winner!

Very nice atmosphere. Food was top notch. I had the vacation to endor (drink) and it was deliciously balanced and boozy. I’m not sure if my waitress was new, but she seemed to be somewhat unfamiliar with the menu and had minimal recommendations when requested. The general manager, however, came over and was friendly, welcoming, professional, and had a wonderful recommendation for the basil pasta. Overall, would absolutely return and recommend giving this place a try. You will not be disappointed.

We signed up to do the full 5 course Revellion dinner and arrived a little early. They asked us to return closer to our reservation time and we ended up grabbing a drink at the back bar. Our table ended up being ready and the bartender was kind enough to put our drinks on the same tab as our food. They also said they could accommodate us if we didn’t all want to do the full experience even though that’s what we ended up doing. The food by the way was fantastic. My favorite dish had to be the mushroom bruschetta, but each was unique and well thought through. We had fun discovering each course throughout the evening. Modern decor inside – overall felt like a very decedent night out!

Stopped at The Bower just this week to grab a drink after workout class. I ended up getting two drinks, lol. I started w| the Bower Sour and ended w| a Pinot Noir. I love the atmosphere— very chill and cozy. Service was great. I didn’t have any food but the food did smell so good. Can’t wait to go back and try it all!

I enjoyed Bower. The Cauliflower dish was absolutely delicious!! The pasta dish was just okay for me. It had a very mild flavor. The one challenge to know is that they don’t split checks. They have a minimum of four orders to a card. Makes it a bit challenging depending on who you’re dining with. Otherwise, we had a really good experience.

Loved the ambiance, food is great. The waitress who served us and the other waiter are really nice to talk to and work with. A little less vegetarian options but they were willing to make a entree without shrimp just so that I could enjoy it. No substitutions was mentioned on the menu though. Overall, we had a great time. It could get a little noisy but it has not much to do with the restaurant. May be everyone who comes there have a good time that they all talk a lot!

It’s debatable whether I’ve had a better meal… Like, ever. Absolutely everything about this place was perfect. I always say “oh I’ll be sure to come visit this restaurant again next time I’m in town” but I might actually plan another trip here around this restaurant alone. I was mad I couldn’t get all the entrees. My group and I got short ribs, pappardelle, crawfish pasta, scallops, basil pasta, and everyone loved absolutely everything. I’ve never had better short ribs, and one of my companions said it was the best meal of his trip. Even before we got there, we had to increase our reservation and they accommodated us hassle free, the service was great, the ambiance is great. This is such a special place and I hope it sticks around for a long long time. I need to try everything else on the menu!!

The Bower is a great option for foodies and those who really appreciate a good dining experience. Shay (server), Briana (bartender), and Dre (GM) were so accommodating and the food was outstanding. I had the short ribs, cauliflower, shortcake, mood ring drink and the audacity drink were all 5 stars! I can’t wait to return again!

Food, service and atmosphere were all great. This restaurant really packs it in. Service was fantastic with a super sweet waitress, and I absolutely loved my red fish. Generous servings as well. Couldn’t have been happier with the place.
