Had the 2-course lunch special for $22 and everything was delicious. The lobster roll was served hot or cold, pictured is the hot roll with a nice garlic flavor on the bread. Steak in the sandwich was tender and not fatty and the fries are perfect. Service was timely, and serves was informative. Highly recommend trying them out.

I'm a fan. We stopped here on a cold St. Patrick's Day for dinner and I'm so glad we did. I started my meal with a glass of their Sangiovese and lobster bisque. For dinner, we both ordered NY strips with the truffle butter. The steaks had that perfect crust with a very tender inside. Perfect. I'd also like to note that they didn't skimp on steak knives here. We got mashed potatoes which were creamy, buttery and delicious and the asparagus which was tender. Finally, I finished my meal with a scoop of the salted caramel gelato with chocolate chunks, which is not to be missed. I was seriously thrilled to see this on the menu because sometimes you just want something sweet and at $3/scoop, what's better than that?? I also have to give a shout out to Daniel G who was our waiter. His timing was flawless, his recommendations were great and he clearly takes pride in his work. Finally the vibe is perfect for a cozy date night. So great service, definitely get a steak and we may have also come for lunch so I'll tell you that you must try the Caesar salad and clam chowder too (it's in my top 3!)

We had the pleasure of having an amazing waiter (Ryan) Our food was cooked to perfection. We went around dinner time after reserving a table. We were sat right away. No waiting at all. Our drinks were delicious and dessert and coffee was great! You definitely get what you pay for. Definitely worth every penny. ?

My sister and I took our mother here for a big birthday and I can not say enough nice things. Between the two of us we have 25+ years of combined service industry experience. This dinner was flawless from beginning to end. Absolutely no notes! Chelsea, our server, was excellent. The support staff were on top of everything and very charming. The food: sensational. I only wish we lived closer so it could be my most frequented restaurant. It will be a special destination and favorite for years to come. Cheers & well done!

The 22 Bowen Lunch for $22 special was a great value. Lots of options on the two course menu for meat, seafood and vegetarian lovers. Everything was delicious, including the complimentary dessert they gave us for our anniversary.

Fantastic meal with the family for birthday. Expensive, but everything is in Newport & worth it for the quality/variety. Catch of the day was delicious, and they also have a solid kids menu. Highly recommend!

The only reason I didn't give all 5's was the drinks were not great. Very weak and didn't taste anything but the mix (which was soda water). Other than that, food was amazing as was the service. Will definitely go back

My wife and I tried the clam chowder, burger, and shaved steak sandwich and all three were delicious. She has a nut allergy and the executive chef personally made sure her allergy was taken care of.I highly recommend this as a must-see restaurant.Dietary restrictions: Nut allergy

Our server was outstanding. (I'm sorry, I do not remember her name.) She was very personable and knowledgeable, and she made our time enjoyable. Our appetizers, meal and dessert were all delicious. Servings were plentiful. The space we were seated in felt like we were in the service area (for lack of proper terminology). I would have preferred one of the other rooms, but it worked out OK. All staff was extremely friendly from the hostess at the front entrance, to our servers, and those we passed as we exited. Great experience. We will be back. I appreciated the signed birthday card and birthday dessert!
