Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Kalamazoo

We had a birthday group with 8 adults. We were able to get a reservation which many restaurants will not do for 8. Everyone ordered differently and all raved about the food. The service was excellent as well.

Our waiter, Elijah, was amazing! We have been to Bowdies several times over the years and each time it’s just as great as the first. The steaks are always cooked to perfection, and the truffle fries are next level. We will be back, as always. Merry Christmas.

Overall, wonderful lunch. The server didn’t have the “extra” something that many of the other servers have in their engagement with our table. He was good, just not the top tier. I’d recommend more smiles, chatting casually with us, etc. The food was terrific, great presentation.

Lovely evening! Very relaxing and enjoyable. Good mix of laidback but also elegant, a great atmosphere at a high top in the back of the restaurant by the bar.

Everything was great! The food, drinks and dessert were all wonderful. We brought friends for their first visit and it was just the right place for visiting! It was a little busy - but that’s Friday night! Always a favorite for us.
