Jon P.Jon Peterson: I have to recommend the Bloody Mary's. The Lowry uses Svedka as the rail vodka for Bloody Mary's and the resulting drink is spicy, flavorful and powerful, but deceptively smooth.

Signe A.Signe Anderson: If there is a long line for brunch on the weekends, saddle up to the bar for one of the Lowry's delicious Bloody Mary's. Careful - they are on the strong side!

Brian M.Brian M: Awesome brunch! Bloody Mary's are delicious and so was the Meatloaf Hash.
