    Ryan was a lovely server. All staff were welcoming and congenial. Meal and cocktails very good. Steak excellent and perfectly cooked. Noise level and ambience lively and a bit chaotic.. they were very busy. Place is on the small side and we were in a 2 top in the bar. Would prefer upstairs or on the enclosed front porch next time for a quieter dinner. All in all a good experience.

    We had a delicious dinner…filet was melt-in-your mouth amazing! Our server provided friendly, warm service. While not somewhere we would go frequently because it is a “treat-level cost” we were glad we splurged!

    We had one of the nicest dining experiences at Bowdie's Saugatuck. The food was beyond outstanding, as well as the lemon drop martinis! Our server was the absolute best. We cannot recommend Bowdie's enough. Oh, and do yourself a favor, save room for their famous beignets. Oh my goodness, they were amazing!

    Elijah our server was excellent! From the moment we stepped in the door it was a wonderful experience. We have been to many steak houses and this tops them all. Food was excellent as well as drinks Thanks for a great evening and thanks to Elijah for making it so very personable. He made great recommendations!

    Our meal was excellent. Shrimp Bisque with a hint of jalapeno, my son had the bone marrow and loved it. We each had the filet mignon, done to perfection at medium rare. He enjoyed the Bodies sauce; I had the bleu cheese crumbles, and I thought it was a little heavy on the cheese. The truffle fries were excellent, and stayed hot throughout the meal. We shared a small serving of beignets with blueberry sauce on the side. Service was excellent, very attentive staff. The one thing I did not enjoy was how close our table was to the couple behind us. It left me no wiggle room at all. Eventually they moved the tables. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu. Highly recommend this place!
