The Bower

We came to celebrate our anniversary and absolutely loved it! We split the cauliflower small plate and then had bolognes and the cacio e pepe. Love the vibe and decor of the place. Staff were also super friendly. Great place for a special occasion or just a yum dinner with friends.

We’re visiting from Australia and found this place by accident trawling google maps. This was their seasonal menu. The whipped feta was to die for. The shrimp was super crunchy. I had the pork loin for a main and my partner had the chicken. Both were amazingly textured and designed to eat with its accompaniments than the meat on its own. Weird but it worked. The desserts were absolutely delicious and light in texture. We left feeling so stuffed so I’m glad the desserts weren’t super heavy. For a drink, the chilled red was a nice touch on a hot humid day. Highly recommend! We’ve eaten all over the world and this was honestly one of the best for the price that it was.

Stepping into The Bower is like entering a haven of sophisticated charm, the perfect backdrop for a memorable dining experience. The ambiance strikes a delightful balance, feeling both elegant and welcoming. However, the true highlight of the evening was undoubtedly our server, Elizabeth. Her attentiveness went beyond mere service; she was intuitive, offering insightful recommendations with genuine enthusiasm. Elizabeth’s warm professionalism and infectious charm truly elevated the entire experience, making us feel like valued guests. Honestly, her service was so impeccable, it almost overshadowed the anticipation for the delectable dishes to come (almost!). And those dishes? A testament to culinary artistry! Each bite at The Bower was a harmonious blend of fresh, high-quality ingredients

We decided to give The Bower a try due to proximity to our hotel and man, oh man - I’m so glad we did. We went during happy hour, which is everyday 4-6. We ordered a charcuterie plate with hummus, burrata and peppers, and onion dip. It came with two housemade jams as well. Every single thing on the board was scrumptious. We also got the cauliflower, excellent. In addition, the small human in the group got buttered noodles - even those were great. This food was the highlight of the trip in terms of restaurants we tried while here. We will definitely be back the next time we come to NOLA.

Clean modern restaurant with lovely service and good food. Our server, Alexis was great. The grilled artichokes excellent, a large portion for an appetizer, seasoned well and served with a creamy dipping sauce. The panzanella salad was rich but the crispy (very crispy) croutons added texture to an otherwise creamy dish. We really enjoyed this salad. The stuffies were okay but probably wouldn’t order again. The stuffing was mostly bread and we didn’t taste much of anything than bread. The hanger steak was ordered medium and served rare, was closer to medium after the second fire. It was tasty. The basil pesto was good. The pasta had a nice bite and flavor. Strawberry shortcake was delicious. The biscuit was warm and had a nice texture that held up to the strawberry filling. Flourless c
