How do you open a first class steakhouse?

Hire Jaime D'Oliveira, nationally acclaimed chef, and Ken Cusson, veteran Capital Grille management trainer, to spearhead the operation and menu design. Engage Morris Nathanson Design, internationally award-winning architects, to create your interior design. Develop an eclectic menu featuring the finest prime beef flown in from renowned Allen Brothers of Chicago, fresh New England seafood, and a very extensive raw bar. Then finally put it all on Newport's waterfront.

"We wanted the feel of an old gentlemen's club. Something cozy, comfortable, yet rich feeling. We were looking to fill a void in the dining scene in Newport. Seafood establishments are very common here. Prime steaks and first class raw bar are a winning combination that is unmatched throughout the New England area," says Curt Gross, Chief Operating Officer and Vice President of Newport Harbor Corporation, parent company to 22 Bowen's.

With our opening on June 25, 2001, 22 Bowen's Wine Bar & Grille became the only prime beef steakhouse in Newport, and one of only a few in Rhode Island. Our goal is to provide you, our guest, with the ultimate dining experience. From a welcoming environment to an impressive wine list to the finest steaks and seafood around, we hope you enjoy every minute you spend with us.and that you come back to do it all over again!
