22 Bowen's Wine Bar & Grille

So Ni

Come here if you want to ruin your evening, wonder whether you've somehow inadvertantly wronged your waiter in another life, be schooled by the manager on how they only have one bar -and that bar is busy. By now we've all heard about "skimpflation" -well, this is the place to come and experience it firsthand. We sat downat at the table at 6:50 pm, we still had no drinks on the table by 7:40. The server was fully resistant to any of our attempts to catch his attention. Eventually we asked to talk to a manager -and the only thing we asked her to do was to assign a different server to our table. She explained that their staff were busy, that their bar was busy, and promissed to "make things right" for us. Then she brought us the wrong drinks. We asked that our order be cancelled, paid for the starters (we did get those), left hungry -and fully reminded of what the service industry has become in this country.

Waited for the food for about an hour, and three tables who came after us, received their food and finished it by the time we had ours. Food came cold: Claim chowder, Benedict Eggs and oysters came at the same time. So really, not a good experience considering the price point and location. I would never come here again.
