Best Steak Restaurants in Exeter

Me and my Fiancé went out for a Valentine's dinner date to this lovely genuine Italian restaurant. The service was 5 star and the food was sooooo delicious. My fiancé ordered the "Ganberi Alio E Olio" and I ordered the "Vitello Aragosta". Both dishes were amazing but the "Ganberi Alio E Olio was our favorite. If you want a nice night out, this restaurant does not disappoint.

One of the best dining experiences we have had in awhile. Everything and everyone were extraordinary from the attentive, accommodating hostess to our delightful, patient waitress Helena, to the inspirational, culinary-gifted Chef Brady who graced our table to inquire about our delicious meal. We will be live long patrons and will faithfully promote your wonderful restaurant to everyone we encounter. Thank you for a fabulous Valentine's evening experience.

Our greeting was warm and friendly. Our server, Daniel, was exceptional. The composed Tuna dish was perfectly prepared and executed. The homemade caviar pasta pasta appetizer was outstanding. Everything we ordered was carefully prepared and very tasty. I highly recommend 22 Bowens!

The Veal Chop was cooked to perfection (medium) and was tender, moist and flavorful, with a slight char. There was very little waste, with just a little bit of fat around the edges. The spice infused butter was a perfect compliment. The asparagus had a slight char on the tips ... they were heavenly. The chunky mashed potatoes were creamy. I left nothing on the plate, but the chop bone and a little fat! I had the Creme Brulee for dessert ... it was perfect ... a nice portion topped with some blueberries and a dollop of whipped cream. My wife and I shared a small Mixed Greens salad that the staff was willing to split between the two of us on separate plates. It is big enough for two. My wife had a pork dish which she thoroughly enjoyed. The waiter and serving staff were attentive. It's a little pricey but worth every penny, for what we ordered. We have eaten here before, on special occasions, and have had less satisfying experiences (like most restaurants), but this one is a keeper! We would return in the future.

We thoroughly enjoyed evening out. We were lucky enough to book our reservation for the Tuesday candlelight night experience. The ambience was really quite relaxing and beautiful. The illumination of all the candles against the windows overlooking the ocean was just divine. There were many wonderful choices for entrees on the menu, however, my husband and I each had the evening's dinner specials which were excellent. I had the pasta dinner special (linguine with lobster, shrimp and scallops in a light ginger cream sauce) and my husband had the short rib dinner with mashed potatoes and haricot verts (french green beans). The server was pleasant, friendly and informative. We will definitely return again.
