The atmosphere is layed back and their food is delicious. You will likely spend around $20-$40 per person depending on the order. It's a good place to take someone or just have a good time with friends.

The Bowman is as flexible as a restaurant can really get! Seems to me there's a new chef whom I'd advise they treat VERY WELL, because the menu has taken a quantum leap into awesomeness. There are plenty of American food items, but someone in the back of the house has Italian roots and incredible culinary acumen! (Aurancini?! REALLY?! Oh, my. That was a joy!) The atmosphere is varied. The bar area has high-tops and lots of TV's; the dining area (white tablecloth) may be a bit affected by the bar area unless in the back room. But nice, open feeling as dining area is an atrium. There's a ballroom, I think, as well as an outdoor enclosed area where happy hours feature live music. I do believe Magooby's Joke House still uses the 'below decks' banquet room & they get great acts. So glad Bowman made it through C19... Hamilton/Parkville & surrounding area staple restaurant. Enjoy! Consistently great.Parking: Both sides of the building have ample parking. If you enter on the Northside, I think you have to walk in the sidewalk to the south front of the building to get inside, but not sure. I don't quite know where the handicapped spots are, actually. I took my service dog. No problems.Wheelchair accessibility: Park on the south side of the building to enter the restaurant through the bar. I'm not sure where the handicapped spots are. Park on the Northside to go out on the covered outdoor deck.

The Bowman has been a family favorite for many, many years. Today we had a family lunch/meeting and all six of us had fabulous lunches. I don’t know that any other restaurant has as fine a cream of crab soup as The Bowman. Everyone ordered it and we almost licked the bowl. Well, it was only me who wanted to like the bowl. All of our meals were total enjoyed too. The service as usual was fantastic. Sally, our server, was knowledgeable, helpful, personable and patient with us. 5 stars for Sally

I was disappointed the first time but I went back. No better. The crab dip is seasoned cream cheese with a teaspoon of crabmeat. The crab soup was seasoned cream with a few specs of crab. will not go

Went on a packed Thursday night. Quick service was followed by yummy food, delivered by the owner. We enjoyed soup, Austin beef, potstickers, and ribs. My out-of-town guest was thrilled. Highly recommended.

My friend and I enjoyed our lunch yesterday at the Bowman . The food and drinks were all well made, generous amounts and delicious. Our server, Trudy was a pleasure too. She was friendly, efficient, polite and knowledgeable of the menu. Qualities that seem to be hard to find in restaurant servers the past few years..Been going to the Bowman since it opened. Really happy to see that it is back to being the great neighborhood restaurant that it had been for years.. we will definitely be back. Thanks again to all for an very enjoyable meal
