Excellent food and service right before the holidays. Highly recommend as one of the best restaurants in Saugatuck. My partner and I shared the wedge salad, 10 oz fillet, half portion au gratin potatoes, and the broccolini sides as the portions are very large. Everything came out timed very well with great taste consistently. Highly recommend.

A few things went wrong : 1) side dishes arrived much later than main steak entree 2) one side dish was incorrect 3) lobster delivered too overcooked and dried out without fused butter. The waiter and manager apologized and made it right . I have been dining at Bowdies in Saugatuck for many years and I have noticed a decline In both service and quality this the last year. This is not an isolated incident and needs to be addressed going forward .

Elisa, thank you for your feedback. I regret that you have experienced more than one occasion where your expectations were not exceeded or did not have the preparation that you expected. We are known for great food and service and each and every misstep is an opportunity that we take seriously to return to training and standards. It is my hope that those efforts will be evident the next time that you dine with us in Saugatuck. Thank you for your business these last years, we are most grateful.

The wedge salad is so delicious! Best Bleu cheese dressing I've ever had. We enjoyed the brussel sprouts, au grautin potatoes, and mushrooms for our sides and all were excellent. The filet mignon melts in your mouth! But you absolutely must end your meal with the flourless chocolate cake!

Excellent service and food as always! However the stools at the high tops are not comfortable for tall people, they’re awkward. Overall a delicious experience and our server was awesome!

The tomahawk steak was by far the best I’ve had in a long time. It’s plenty big to share with someone. The shrimp bisque was nice and creamy. The Old Fashions were delicious and quite boozy.

Lawrence the bartender was friendly and attentive. Our server, Lee, was personable. Food was excellent. The major issue was the female manager with dark hair. She was rude, curt, and unwelcoming. Fix that and we will be back.
