   Food was good like every time i’ve been! Unfortunately, I had to give a lower rating as our experience was spoiled by our waitress Cindy. This was the second time she was my waitress, and on both occasions I felt she was negative towards my party and I. Other than that the vibes and ambience of the Bower was amazing! Manager was also great when I spoke to her. Next time i’ll just ask for a different server.

   We were excited to try this restaurant and it was ok but it wasn't a wow experience. Our server was amazing and we appreciate that.

   This hip restaurant has one of the most talented kitchens in town. Our favorite dishes were the flavorful tuna crudo, the exquisitely spiced cauliflower appetizer, and the sweet potato entree with collards, crispy black rice, and peanuts (an incredible dish). Coming at happy hour or sharing some of the larger plates can make The Bower very affordable. Service is friendly and efficient.

    Server was friendly, yet quite slow to visit our table throughout the meal. Dishes and glasses were piling up, we were only offered a second drink at the end of the meal. Food was aspirational at best. Menu descriptions were exciting and execution was lacking. Parmesan bread appetizer was quite greasy and soggy. Cauliflower appetizer was tasty. Caesar salad was very nice and fresh. Gulf fish was a good dish, fresh and well presented, though a bit bland. Outside patio has a strange, disjointed feeling. Tables seem temporary and randomly arranged. We wanted to love it as interior is beautiful and menu sounds terrific. With so many spots to choose from, this would not be a first pick or revisit.

    Love this restaurant. Very pretty inside and has large covered outdoor space that is nice even when it's raining. You can easily make a delicious meal out of a selection of their small plates, or some small plates and shared full meals. The small plate potatoes are one of my favorite things in the world to eat. They have a nice wine list and wines by the glass, also craft cocktails.

    The interior of the restaurant is beautiful. We were seated on the patio under a tent with astroturf - no music playing, not a vibe. The magazine margarita was great. The whipped feta was good, tuna tartare was not. Pappardelle was okay, the sauce was sweet. Overall, the food mediocre. The servers were nice, but generally it was slow. There are better restaurants in NOLA.

    Modern and creative with excellent cocktails, I could have stayed all night just working through their entire cocktail list if I were able to handle all that booze. The food was very good, and the large plates were extremely filling. Having a few small plates and splitting one large would have been plenty.

    The ambiance is amazing!! So much potential for a cool spot to eat. Servers and staff super sweet but just not knowledgeable of service industry. Maybe they just had a bad night? As many servers as tables but all stacked up waiting for kitchen. Maybe kitchen not run well? Not sure what manager was off but it was all off. If ran right it’s a really cool concept collectively with the vibe and the food and drink selections.

    We have had much better meals at The Bower. Drinks were good - I got the gin punch for happy hour. We split the Bone Marrow/shrimp toast app (which my wife thought was very good but I found a bit too fatty) and the Gulf Fish that tasted a bit too "fishy" for her taste. Better luck next time.
