    Absolutely the best ining experience. Our shrimp appetizer was undercooked, but the waitress handled it easily and quickly. The shrimp deJohne was perfect. Cindy the bartender was fun and truly enhanced our dinner. The bread. Oh. Lord. The bread. The bread and a room. So fabulous. Our bread pudding dessert was as good or better than want we have had in New Orleans. Highly recommend!!

    Our waitress was attentive. She did a good job! The food was fantastic. They serve cornbread before the meal and it was like having dessert. They serve it warm with butter. I had the shrimp and halibut cheeks with polenta. Michael had the steak with crab. His meal came with a macaroni cake which was delicious. Michael’s steak was cooked perfectly and my meal was wonderful. Reasonable priced for an upscale restaurant! After our dinner we sat at the bar and had an after dinner drink!

    Bob’s steakhouse is top notch! I am from Chicago and am difficult to impress when it comes to food. My husband and I ordered the Rack of Lamb med rare and NY Strip medium and both were cooked perfectly and tasted absolutely delicious. The wedge salad and creamed spinach were outstanding as well. Our server was very attentive and went above and beyond to make our meal delightful. He made my husband a custom smoked old fashion that would rival some of our favorite spots in Chicago. Lastly the fries…they aren’t traditionally on the menu, however they were offered as a special. They had a “Rallys” meets curly fries from Arby’s in a Chick Fil-A waffle style with an upscale twist. Best fries I’ve had. I highly recommend Bob’s, we will absolutely be back!

    Extraordinary experience from beginning to end. The maitre d’ recognized our request for a bourbon tasting with dinner and made sure to seat us at a table in Ross’s section. Ross was a delight. Funny, efficient, and knowledgeable with the menu and especially the bourbon. After asking us questions on type, style, price, he created a tasting that was perfect beginning to end. I am going to dream about my halibut main course and my husband raved about the Caesar salad. We will definitely be back when we come to town.
