    We had a delightful waiter (Steven). Very attentive and friendly. He was very knowledgeable about the menu and suggested a wonderful vegetarian option which was amazing. (Did notice that our food took longer to arrive to our table. Tables next to us arrived after we were seated and after we ordered, received their food first). Still five stars ⭐️

    We dined at The Bower on a Monday night. It was quiet but very enjoyable. The service was great and the food was amazing! We started with Tuna Crudo, Gala Apple & Brussels Sprouts Salad then enjoyed the Cacio e Pepe pasta and Short Rib entree. All were delicious and presented nicely!

    Overall this was a very good experience. The restaurant is nicely laid out. There was music on the patio. The service was excellent. We started with the Crackins' and Caviar (1 caviar, 4 roes) which was very good. We had the blue Cheese salad which could have been excellent but it had too much dressing and got a bit soggy. We ended with the crispy duck with a side of brussel sprouts. Both were very good with the slight exception of the pieces of sliced duck which, weirdly, was too salty. The leg that was on the plate was perfect. We have no idea why the breast part was salty. Overall, I'd eat there again as the menu has a lot to try.
