Ambiance was excellent - chic, trendy, adult. Service was fine but totally void of warmth and welcomeness. Food was lovely to look at, but not good - extremely over seasoned, too many ingredients in each dish. Everything on each plate was just “too much”. Based on the food alone, I wouldn't return.

We had a great time at The Bower last night. This was a specific trip, as we went for Lobster Roll Night. The service was EXCELLENT, and the food was delicious. The back bar is gorgeous with its dark walls and lush greenery hanging from the ceiling. I love the inside/outside feel, and appreciate that they're able to leave the back doors open and bring the outside in. I'll definitely return. As tasty as the lobster rolls were, I'd love to try some of the other dishes...

Food was tasty but I'm surprised a nice looking restaurant can have such a limited menu. There were no green vegetables on the menu nor were you allowed to order any sides. The strict rules and thought of being non flexible ruined the experience. Even though the food was tasty I left hungry and the pasta and potatoes were only seen as fillers not as a main course.
