    Sandwiches were good, service excellent, but music so loud it was difficult to have a conversation. We will continue to have dinner here on occasion.

    Both dishes we ordered had issues. The eggplant dish had little to sauce on it and the grilled cheese/tomato soup dish was obscenely over spiced. Almost every time we come here, our experience is just average to poor for the food while the service is always excellent.  It’s just mediocre pub food, which we get lured into going to again when they update the menu and the food is still mediocre.

    First I would like to say my wife and I knew about this location when it was known as another eatery. We rediscovered it shortly after the Bowery Bar opened. If haven’t been, I would recommend make a visit. Bowery Bar has a really nice, clean atmosphere. The drinks are great and the menu is interesting with plenty to choose from without being overwhelming. The staff if friendly and can help to make suggestions. From the outside you wouldn’t know it but I think the best part of this restaurant is the outdoor patio that makes you feel like you’re sitting in an outdoor oasis. In the winter they set up plastic bubble igloos so you can sit outside if you want.

    We very much enjoyed sitting outside in their cozy back garden. Our server Gabi was attentive snd a delight. My Martini was good but sadly the olives were mushy. I do wish they had healthier food options available. The special of crispy artichokes was ok but deep flied . The tuna taco shells were much too heavy and also fried and sadly no slaw or cilantro not even a fresh lime . The lemon pepper chicken wings had a little punch and were good . Perhaps a salad would have been a better option …..next time
