    Very cold. Had to eat with a coat on indoors. Tuna was great but the wine didn’t arrive until the entrees were almost gone. Very small but tasty appetizers.

    The food was phenomenal! One of the best wine lists I’ve seen. The ambience was next level especially with the history and age of the tavern. A must visit.

    Everything was delicious. The steak was cooked perfectly. The oysters were extremely fresh and tasty. The creme brulee has just the right amount of pumpkin flavor that it wasn't overpowering.

    We have been coming to 22Bowens for special occasions for close to 15 years. We celebrated our 53rd wedding anniversary tonight and it was the perfect choice of restaurants. It’s a special place for sure.
