Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Bowleys Quarters

Christmas Eve dinner at OEG is a 24-year tradition for my daughter and me. As always, the food was awesome. My daughter and I were quite surprised and disappointed by the lackluster greeting and overall experience when we walked in. The word "dismissive" comes to mind. Because our previous experiences were fabulous, I will look at this visit as a "one-off" one. Merry Christmas and a Happy 2025!!!

I went to Bygone for my birthday and I loved it. I will definitely be back. I had the chicken breast, mac and cheese, puree mash potatoes, & the Bygone Buck for a drink ( Moscow mule ). Everything was 10/10 and our waiter was amazing. His drink and menu recommendations were spot on. I believe his name was KC ( not 100% sure ). The restaurant is also BEAUTIFUL and amazing for pictures. I will be back for sure ❤️.

We had reservations, but the place was overcrowded, and we had to wait about an hour and a half to be seated. The entrance was packed, the line was out the door. We had our parents with us who are both 87 yrs old. They had to stand up for the entire wait to be seated. It was Christmas Eve, so that might have been the reason for the excessive wait. After we were seated, our server was prompt, polite, and quick to serve our needs. The only thing is there seemed to be a disarray in the kitchen. Our server went to get us the dinner rolls three times, and they never arrived, so no rolls with our dinner. Our appetizers were served quickly, but there was a very long wait for our dinner. The server was wonderful, and she did apologize several times for the delays. Overall, the food was delicious, and the only thing not so great was all of the waiting. Our entire meal with waiting took us over three and half hour to dine.

Great as always! Great food and great service! I’ll see you back in a few weeks!

We were greeted with a big smile at the front stand and promptly seated. This vibrant spot featured fresh, well-prepared sushi and an array of American and Italian selections. Every dish we selected was excellent. Though the place was packed and the noise level was predictably high, I had requested a quiet table when reserving and we were seated in a private booth complete with a door and coat hooks - the closest thing to our own dining room. The star of the evening was was our server Brian S. He was cheerful, informative, professional, welcoming, and everything one wants to insure a good experience when dining out. Kudos to The Hamilton - everyone got everything right!
