Dinner with the ladies was amazing. Everything was fresh. Oysters! Whipped Feta but the show stopper for me was the best salad. Everyone enjoyed their selections.
Marcus is an awesome chef!

The Bower offers a delightful atmosphere and an amazing cocktail menu, with food that is generally very good. The Chef's Special and desserts consistently exceed expectations. The attentive staff provides lovely service, going above and beyond for a fantastic dining experience, ensuring everything hits just right. The restaurant features a clean, modern design and warm energy, enhanced by great music. Customers have praised the grilled artichokes, a large appetizer portion with a creamy dipping sauce, and the panzanella salad, which boasts a rich flavor and crispy croutons. The hanger steak, though ordered medium, was served rare but still found to be tasty. The basil pesto and pasta dishes have also received positive reviews. Diners have enjoyed the warm, textured biscuit of the strawberry shortcake and the rich, decadent flourless chocolate cake. Oysters and Whipped Feta have also been highlighted.
Overall, The Bower offers a great ambiance and excellent service, with a menu that meets the needs of its guests, making it a perfect choice for a date night or dinner with friends. Recent visits confirm its consistent delicious food, with generous portions and a variety of seasonal cocktails. However, some guests noted that not all dishes meet expectations, like the lamb meatballs, which were reported to be very dense. The service remains first rate, but there were comments about the server appearing distracted at times. Additionally, while the music creates a lively atmosphere, it has been described as extremely loud, prompting some customers to request a volume adjustment. Customers also appreciate the cozy and warm ambience, making it an ideal spot for a lovely evening out. However, the restaurant does not serve brewed beverages like iced tea or coffee, which some find to be a surprising policy.
