Needs to be updated, food was overly seasoned and staff seems overwhelmed with large crowds

The Bowman is as flexible as a restaurant can really get! Seems to me there's a new chef whom I'd advise they treat VERY WELL, because the menu has taken a quantum leap into awesomeness. There are plenty of American food items, but someone in the back of the house has Italian roots and incredible culinary acumen! (Aurancini?! REALLY?! Oh, my. That was a joy!) The atmosphere is varied. The bar area has high-tops and lots of TV's; the dining area (white tablecloth) may be a bit affected by the bar area unless in the back room. But nice, open feeling as dining area is an atrium. There's a ballroom, I think, as well as an outdoor enclosed area where happy hours feature live music. I do believe Magooby's Joke House still uses the 'below decks' banquet room & they get great acts. So glad Bowman made it through C19... Hamilton/Parkville & surrounding area staple restaurant. Enjoy! Consistently great.
