Our family of 6 had a wonderful Christmas Eve dinner at Bowdie’s. We had a comfortable and lovely table in their nicely appointed main room. Our server, Gabriel was excellent. He truly was a wonderful host for our evening and was very personable and attentive to our table. Thank you Gabriel , Hunter and all the staff that created the wonderful dining and culinary experience.

Absolutely a great experience. Starting with the free valet service; moving on to the bar for a glass of wine before dinner. The dinner, what a menu; plenty to choose from. We started with appetizers, then the server took our order. Just the pace I love. Finishing dinner, after dinner drinks and shared dessert. And to end the wonderful evening, the valet had our car WAITING!! BEST yearly Christmas dinner with lifelong friends. Thank you, thank you.

Overall, wonderful lunch. The server didn’t have the “extra” something that many of the other servers have in their engagement with our table. He was good, just not the top tier. I’d recommend more smiles, chatting casually with us, etc. The food was terrific, great presentation.

Tried The Post Tavern for the first time and had a great experience. Server, Scott L, was awesome. Just the right amount of attention. Food was great, portions were large so you definitely worth for the cost. Great atmosphere noise level was perfect for a busy Saturday night so close to Christmas. Definitely will go back. 

The atmosphere, the food and ambiance was beyond our expectations. The entire place is stunning with incredible views and every detail was well thought out. It was chic but cozy..we were able to have intimate conversation but with a lively atmotmosphere around which felt warm and inviting. The terrace was warm with heaters and made a really great place to hang out with beautiful lights, greenery and cozy seating to enjoy an after dinner drink! The food was exceptional- the scallops and tenderloin were perfect and the drinks were delicious. The only slightly suprising side was the server started out very kind and attentive, but seemed to quickly lose interest in our table. We had to flag her down for drink refils several times as she never returned to our table once the food was delivered. We would've stayed to enjoy more drinks but eventually couldn't get her attention so we went elsewhere. Other than that, it was an incredible anniversary celebration together!
