Our firm recently went to Bowood by Niche for our annual holiday party, and wow! We were truly blown away! The food was excellent, the staff were friendly and helpful, and the restaurant is such a cute and cozy space. Madi assisted me throughout the whole process, reassuring me of everything and answering any and all questions I had promptly and fully. She was such a pleasure to work with! You know it was a success when multiple people told me this was their favorite party in a long time. We'll definitely be back to Bowood!

This place is run by girls & gays. The girls seemed nice, though we were not waited on by any. But WOW the gays were rude. I know some people think that’s cute & endearing.

We came in and spent $150 on brunch (the food & drink were awesome!). After, we shopped and purchased something from the garden supply. We were good for business, non disruptive, friendly… and yet we were treated very poorly. The people here were just miserable and it SHOWED.

I think this review would be useful for those who care about good customer service. If being treated rudely sours a whole experience for you, don’t go here.

However, if you just care about getting good food and photo ops for your insta, this place is perfect. To each their own!

We had our rehearsal dinner at Bowood and it was phenomenal. We worked with Madi, who was professional and so kind throughout the entire process. The space is beautiful and required no extra decor on our part. The food and drinks were delicious. Compared to other venues in the area, pricing was also very reasonable. Highly recommend considering Bowood for your next private event!

I don’t like to get yelled at while I’m trying to shop. I was looking at the plants 2 mins before they technically open and was greeted with hostility by a blonde woman. Costumer service is trash these days. As a business owner myself you treat your customers with respect even if they do show up 2 mins early. I was ready to spend quite a bit of money there and will never be back. The tradition of customer service clearly no longer applies.

This place rocks!!! Food is fantastic, cocktails (Bloody Mary specifically was unreal), and the cacio e pepe eggs were so tasty and delicious. Highly recommend for a Sunday brunch

Hands down my favorite brunch spot in town, and I love to brunch. Every meal I've had has been delicious. The atmosphere is great, whether you're inside the main dining area or out amongst the plants. Definitely make reservations ahead of time, they are very popular (and for good reason!).

Amazing. Brunch outside in heated and covered area. Rustic look and feel, amazing food and great service. Plan ahead because very popular Sunday spot. We waited 45 minutes because didn't get reservation, but it was worth it!

The environment is fantastic and food is good looking. Gluten free choices are limited. Crab cake Benedict is too salty. I personally don’t like it. Flowers are overpriced.

It’s a beautiful place and decent menu, but a bit too expensive for what you get. It’s nice for a bougie brunch, but there a cheaper, more filling places in the city if that’s what you’re looking for.

Just ate there for brunch. Everyone else loved what they got. Me, not so much. The crab cake and spicy Hollandaise sauce in my Maryland Crab Benedict were great, but the eggs were so undercooked that raw egg white poured out. Not acceptable. Also, my side salad had some lettuce in it that was rotted. That's just laziness. For what they charge, they should pay better attention.

Bowood is very a cool brunch spot. It’s connected to a plant nursery and a gift shop! Getting a reservation can be tough but if you can snag one, do it. If not, the wait isn’t too bad since you can walk around and shop on the side. The space has tons of natural light which I liked a lot. The menu isn’t huge, but everything on it sounds good. They’ve got great cocktails too. You can either share plates or just get your own, and either way it works. I tried the pancakes and they were insanely fluffy and sweet. The omelet was also super light and full of flavor. The service was friendly and fast, and I’d definitely come back again.

One of the first places I take people when visiting. Beautiful brunch spot in the CWE with great food in a quaint plant shop. I have been several times and will return again and again
