About 22 Bowen's
22 Bowen's is a steak and seafood restaurant on Bowen's Wharf, right on Newport Harbor. It runs as a classic prime steakhouse built around grilled steak and steamed lobster, with a full wine list and classic cocktails. It belongs to Newport Restaurant Group, which describes itself as fully employee-owned.
Lunch is served every day from 11:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., and dinner from 5 p.m., until 9 Sunday through Thursday and until 10 on Friday and Saturday. The bar stays open all day with a limited menu between lunch and dinner. In summer the Portside area adds an open-air bar and outdoor tables with harbor views.
