Editorial Review for 22 Bowen's Wine Bar & Grille – by Linda Castellitto
In Short
A prime waterfront location will lure you to Bowen's; sumptuous prime steaks and attentive service will ensure a return visit. While families gather in the two-level dining room, couples linger at the wave-shaped bar to try one of more than 250 wines available. In warm weather, patrons angle for a seat at the outdoor bar. House specialty entrees include herb-crusted salmon with French lentil salad and grilled filet mignon with Maytag blue cheese.

Insider Tips
ParkingBecause the tiny lot at Bowen's Wharf is usually full, head two blocks down to Sayer's Wharf, or look for a spot at the Newport Harbor Hotel & Marina on America's Cup Avenue.
When to GoThe outdoor Port Side Bar is very popular; arrive early or expect to stand.

My Fiancé and I went to Newport for the weekend. We found this restaurant online. We were seated right away. Although we sat next to the wait station the atmosphere was very nice. Our waitress was very nice and knowledgeable. The bathrooms however were oddly located in the coat room. Which I find very disappointing for a restaurant of this caliber. Our entrees were very good as were our appetizers. Our dessert and dessert wine was equality as delicious. Our bill was on the high side but we expected that going into it. Overall it was a good experience and we would return again.
Pros: Very good meal all and all
Cons: Coat Room/Bathroom

Went there 1 month ago for a birthday. 2 meals were below average. 1 was outstanding. And another was not cooked as ordered. Appetizers were above average. 1 drink order was never delivered. At the end of meal I got the attention of the server. She apologized for not taking the improperly cooked pork of the bill. I was by now behind my group so I could not wait for the bill process to be repeated. The next day I followed up with a phone call to the MGR. After a pleasant conversation she offered to have to have the exec chef call me to discuss my experience. He also was very pleasant and offered to send me a complimentary meal voucher/coupon so I could come back and have a better dining experience. The voucher was never delivered. Don't waste your time dining here. They are all nice but do not really care.
