    What a great dinning experience. From our waiter, José, to the crafted cocktail and authentic appetizer, entrees and desert there really was no room for improvement. The ample portions left us with a wonderful snack for later. I loved that Jose gave us the history of the proprietor, Mima, and how she came to create this wonderful restaurant. The mural of her really sets the tone and the music, china, fixtures and created the perfect setting for this culinary experience.

    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!
