Rockford​の地元の良店

Seafood focused, with good wine and champagne selection. Only a couple of smaller steak options. Better service than the Chop House or Ruth Chris nearby.

You can’t go wrong at Bowdies. It is our go-to for special occasions. The steaks are great and prepared perfectly. Try the mushrooms and the potatoes to go with the steak. Really celebrating…toss in the lobster tail 😊. Ann was our server and she was great.

Anna was an amazing server who made the experience excellent. The restaurant is closing in 6 weeks, so glad we were able to enjoy it one last time.

Love the decor and having different rooms to keep the noise at an acceptable level. Loved the Huaraches With Morita Falda appetizers and will definitely be back for more! The carne asada melted in the mouth! The flourless chocolate torte was the perfect ending...best I've had - rich taste and not dry like so many tortes I've had. We will be returning soon!

Upon deciding to try a local establishment for dinner, Matchbox caught our eye. We knew parking would be an issue, especially in a densely populated neighborhood coupled with little to no parking availability near the restaurant. The walk about 1.5 blocks was invigorating and after our meal was a needed trek. The server was super friendly, but appeared to become totally overwhelmed with the amount of tables which quickly filled her station. Overall, our food was delicious. Simple but very tasty. Seating was an issue for us, as my partner was sticking out in the middle of the walkway in such a way that the distance from. the corner of the bar top and his chair only left wiggle room to pass, He felt 'inundated' with the traffic pattern. If anyone has sat in the first 3-seater row expanded from a 2 seater row on an airplane can attest to the inconvenience and interruptions that occur. Same with this particular table. It appeared to be that other tables were not affected. Would we return - probably - to see if things just might be a bit better.
