   We save this restaurant for special occasions because it’s expensive, but it is so nice to have a place to go that is truly special. It is everything fine dining should be!

   Had a great experience. Great flavors, wonderful service. (Manny was fantastic). The steak was cooked perfectly, nice and tender, great flavor. The Beef Tartar as an appetizer had a great texture and flavor pallet with the truffle chips.

   Food and service was phenomenal, my girlfriend and I celebrated my birthday and it was an all around great experience. We will definitely make another visit soon, the drinks were on point and the portions were generous. The price is a little more expensive than other places around town but our service and food experience did justify the cost. Looking at some other reviews before hand people weren’t impressed with the ambiance (noise level) but it’s a chophouse and while it’s darker and some candlelight than other restaurants it’s still a place where people are enjoying drinks and great steak. We were seated at a table and it was what we were expecting, booths in the back may offer a bit quieter and private setting if your looking for a more intimate atmosphere but at the chophouses you should expect a somewhat upbeat eating experience. Some of the reviews I read seemed to suggest the dinner was expecting a private whisper atmosphere. With that said I would recommend anyone try the chophouse experience at Bowdie’s at least once. One last note I have would be the dessert, best cheesecake I’ve had in a long time. Street parking is available in a great part of town and there is a covered parking garage right next to the restaurant. Definitely a top notch evening we shared.
