                                                                We were in from our of town and so happy we choose to eat at Bowdies Chophouse. It was excellent - we stayed with shrimp bisque and shrimp cocktail, which were very good. The soup was ideal for the cold, blustery night. We both had the small filet mignon. It was so tender. It melted in our mouths. We paired it with the mushrooms (which were my favorite) and the au gratin potatoes. All the food we rate as a 10 but the mushrooms were so flavorful and buttery, they were an 11+. After seeing the 10 ounce lobster tail delivered to a neighboring table, my husband was sorry he didn't have one with his filet. Garrett was our server. He made suggestions, told us about the restaurant, and checked on us often. There was also a young woman who helped with serving. I didn't get her name, but she, too, was so pleasant and helpful. We have absolutely no complaints about the service, and the restaurant was full of large groups celebrating a holiday dinner. The restaurant is tiny but so quaint. Make a reservation early to secure a table. It's well worth it.

The restaurant was completely full and since it is so small a bit noisier than on my previous visits. We were seated at a table next to a curtain that must hold storage of some sort…. that was my only complaint…I was freezing from the draft!

No bread/rolls available but they offered crostini. It’s a lovely restaurant, service was friendly and excellent. Price was as expected. As good as it was, we’ve had better so our bar is high.
