Can a steak house be romantic? If it’s 22 Bowen’s it can be. A waterfront setting with great views, soft lighting, small dining alcoves, beamed ceilings, white linens, sparkling crystal, with great food and an amazing wine list, all add up to a superb experience.

Sometimes it’s great to just enjoy a classic steakhouse, no menu frills, just a fantastic steak dinner. Start with their signature Clam Chowder with potato, bacon, light cream and dill. Or perhaps the Crab Cake with chipotle lime remoulade, field greens and pickled red onion.  

For entrees, their prime steaks and chops are fantastic. Opt for the dry aged version.  and the American Wagyu Filet Mignon at $78 is a bargain. Don’t skip the Creamed Spinach with mornay sauce, parmesan and toasted bread crumbs. A loaded baked potato completes the feast.

There is an extensive (@25) list of wines by the glass and reasonably priced. The regular wine list, a Wine Spectator Award of Excellence winner, numbers 250 labels. There are nearly 30 half bottle selections which is a wonderful option. This is an exceptional wine list that is very fairly priced. Lots of good choices under $50 and even the higher quality wines are good values.
