Appetizers That Set the Stage

Start the evening with something exceptional. Favorites include seared scallops, prime tartare, bone marrow, and delicate crab cakes. Classic starters like burrata, escargot, and the seafood tower offer timeless flavors that set the tone for the meal ahead.

The bone marrow was hands-down my favorite—rich, flavorful, and perfectly prepared.

At Bowdie’s, steak is what we do best. Every cut is hand-selected, expertly seasoned, and cooked to perfection—from tender filets to richly marbled ribeyes. Want to try something different? The menu also features standout entrées like roasted half chicken, fresh salmon, and satisfying soups and salads.

I had the tomahawk steak, and it was flawless—perfectly cooked, deeply flavorful, and unapologetically bold. I was brought here as part of a gathering with individuals from Chicago, seasoned diners who don’t offer praise lightly. Without hesitation, they said it was the best steak they’d ever had in Indiana.

Sides Worth Sharing

​​No steakhouse experience is complete without indulgent sides. Bowdie’s offers favorites like lobster mac & cheese, au gratin potatoes, truffle fries, and sautéed mushrooms—rich, flavorful dishes designed to be shared around the table.

My husband couldn’t stop raving about the potatoes au gratin—creamy, cheesy, and comforting.
