    My son (6) and I dined here, and while he was the only child in the restaurant, they took great care to make him feel welcome. The Ribeye was perfectly prepared and all other items complimented perfectly. Our server Kimi was fantastic and really catered to our needs and created a great experience for us.

    Another fabulous evening at Bob’s! Jeff delivered fabulous service in spite of the fact the restaurant was jam packed! We all ordered something different and everyone raved about their meal. The blue cheese salad is excellent and was served in ice cold dishes. My rib eye was perfectly cooked and seasoned to perfection. Other dinners were rack of lamb, filet mignon and duck. Everyone loved their dinners. Bob’s always delivers great service and fabulous food and is the best steakhouse in San Diego County in my opinion. It is also our favorite restaurant!
