Service got off to a rocky start- one of the younger hostesses was extremely rude and short with us. It was so bad we would have left if it wasn’t for the fact that a large group of my clients and team were eating in one of their other areas. With that said- our waiter was great, and the bartenders amazing. The food was all excellent. We tried 11 dishes over two days and none disappointed. The wine list is decent and there are definitely a couple of really decent bottles for a good price. Highly recommend checking them out. If you’re staying at the resort it’s a no brainer.

Hostess offered a warm welcome and had our table ready on the patio where we requested to be near the band. They were our main reason for coming here, noted by 5-6 other tables as well. Antonio our server was polite, although not as attentive or anticipatory of needs/progression of the dining experience. He was offended we didn’t order a main entree, perhaps that is what altered the experience for us. We just weren’t that hungry, or interested in a huge meal. The smallest steak is 9 oz., and the sea bass filet he said was also similarly a large portion, so we opted for the 3 scallop appetizer. We also ordered a bottle of wine, a cocktail, two wedge salads, along with the scallop appetizer. The bread was surprisingly delicious, crispy crust yet ultra soft and fluffy inside. The scallops were decent, but we couldn’t finish. They were tender and very rich, accompanied with a lemon buerre blanc sauce. The wedge salads were a nice portion with plenty of bacon, blue cheese, and a beefsteak tomato cut in half. I ordered a bottle of Chardonnay knowing I’d cork the bottle after a glass and a half, and take the rest home. My friend had a classic mule. We were mindful not to take the table up, but had to wait a long time to get our plates cleared, water refilled, and flag him down for the check and a bag for the wine. We moved down to the lower tables and had much better receptivity. We thoroughly enjoyed the band playing…The Swinging Johnsons. We came specifically for them. I personally wouldnt come back if it wasn’t for the band. Next time they play here, we will skip the upper tables and just have a drink and appetizer at the tables by the band. Service was better and the experience too.

If you’re looking for an unforgettable steakhouse experience, Bob’s Chophouse in La Costa is the place to go. The steak? Absolutely phenomenal—easily the best I’ve ever had. Perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and melt-in-your-mouth tender. And let’s talk about that carrot—oh my God, incredible. It tastes like Thanksgiving in the best way possible, rich and perfectly seasoned. If you somehow still have room, the dessert is completely over the top and worth every bite. On top of the amazing food, the service was outstanding. Nikki was hands down one of the best servers I’ve ever had—attentive, knowledgeable, and truly made the experience top-notch. Overall, Bob’s Chophouse isn’t just a 5-star spot—it’s a 10 out of 5. If you’re in La Costa and love a great steak, this place is a must-visit.

We celebrated New Year's Eve at this charming steakhouse located in a chic and beautifully designed hotel, and the experience was a mix of highs and a slight miss. Opting for outdoor seating was a fantastic choice—it was magical dining beside a beautifully decorated Christmas tree, with the festive ambiance adding to the evening's charm. The staff were wonderful—friendly, attentive, and quick to accommodate any requests. Their warmth definitely enhanced the overall experience. Food-wise, the clam chowder was the star of the meal—creamy, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. It’s definitely something we’d come back for. However, the steak, unfortunately, didn’t live up to the same standard. It wasn’t bad, but it lacked the “wow” factor you’d expect from a steakhouse. In the end, the stunning atmosphere and excellent service made it a memorable evening, even if the steak fell short of expectations. A great spot for a special occasion, especially if you're looking to soak in the festive vibes.

I chose Bobs Steak and Chop House Carlsbad to celebrate my birthday this restaurant has a great. atmosphere and good vibes The food options were very limited and food is quality wasn’t necessarily the best. For the price of the food and atmosphere. I had high expectations for this restaurant. Antonio G was my server he was friendly at first abut proved absolutely the worst service possible.

Food is good, I expect phenomenal for the prices. The sides could be better and more flavorful. Service was okay bit also a bit slow. We waited a long time after dessert waiting on our check.

My husband and I were celebrating our 17 year anniversary in San Diego and drove in from Phoenix that day. We were looking for a good steak and this popped up on google. We went to check it out. The hostess was absolutely horrible. She looked us up and down like we didn't belong there. She sat us at a tiny little table that was uneven and spilling drinks everywhere. The waiter came to give us his recommendations and I asked for a different table as we were celebrating our anniversary and wanted to sit closer together. Mind you there were plenty of open tables. The waiter finally moved us and the hostess rolled her eyes at us. There was no way we were leaving as she obviously thought we couldn't afford to eat there. We ended up dropping $300 on dinner and the food was well worth it but we will never go back there and wouldn't recommend to anyone who isn't dressed like they are rolling in money.

I have stayed at La costa resort quite a few times in the last few decades . This was our first time trying Bobs steakhouse. Let me start our first with the waiter Antonio - he first started out ok then his service went down pretty fast . The exceptional service we received were from Juan and Jake . They truly are an exception to service. They were professional , polite and attentive. They deserve a raise or to be promoted. I would only go back to try it again if I could have them be our servers. With regards to the service - we ordered filet mignons and I asked for mine pink and it came dry salty and potatoes were cold. My partner ordered a well done filet mignon and the outside was burn and crunchy and salty and 2/3 was raw from the inside. We opted not to complain because of Antonio’s attitude with us. We also asked about a few things first wine suggestions and of coarse he recommends one of the most priciest of the Italian wines and for us it’s quality not cost. After we didn’t order his recommendation his service went downhill. We will not be back for a long time, Fleming’s and Ruth Chris and specialty steakhouse for us have been pretty consistent but this one on a scale of 1-10 I would say a 4 and the 4 would go for the exceptional service we received from the two young men

My husband and I met friends for a holiday meal at Bob's on 12/21. The pre-meal bartender first tried to make a gimlet with vodka, then didn't put any simple sugar in the cocktail. When it was time for dinner, the restaurant tried to seat us in a back room that had the feel of a conference room, despite booking over a month ago. When we sat down (after requesting a better table), we didn't see a server for over 20 minutes. We even tried to flag service members with no acknowledgement. The next round of group drinks involved a non-skinny skinny margarita and a martini so dirty with olive juice it had to be made again. We ordered 4 meals and 3 sides, including a fish special which turned out to be $70...for a small portion of seared tuna. Ridiculous!! The only saving grace of the evening was that our steaks were very good...perfectly cooked. We never got the 3 sides we ordered and by this point, had given up. The sides did show up eventually...on the bill! And for the pleasure of this disappointing experience, a very pricey bill!!

We celebrated my birthday at Bob's and the staff were truly delightful. The menu arrived with a happy birthday at the top, they comped my glass of wine and provided us a lovely brownie sundae for dessert. The food was good, portions generous and the wait staff was on point, with the maitre 'd stopping by twice to make sure all was in order and also to wish me a happy birthday. Thank you!

Had a nice meal with my wife and special needs dog last night at Bob's. The experience was extraordinary. The food, as always, exceeded expectations, and our waiter, Sam, was marvelous. Every request was fulfilled, and our glasses were never empty. Sam was kind, cordial, and respectful. We could not ask for anything more. The rack of lamb and filet mignon were cooked to perfection. It was a birthday celebration, so we received a complimentary dessert. What a wonderful meal. As we left, we began to discuss when we would return!

This was our most memorable meal in Carlsbad. It's located on property of the Omni La Costa resort in Carlsbad, and the steaks were outstanding. A house-made jar of pickles (cucumbers and red peppers) sits on each table -that was interesting and different (good for those looking to avoid insulin spikes before diving into the gorgeous bread loaf that comes next). Our party ordered the 9 oz filet, 14 oz ribeye and 22-oz bone in ribeye. Steaks are served with your choice or potato and a cooked, glazed carrot. Did not care for the sweet glaze on the carrot. Ordered broccolini which was excellent. Extensive wine and spirits list. Sadly, we were too satiated for desert-although the menu was tempting (carrot cake, crème brûlée, etc.) our server was attentive without hovering. Will return.

I had a great experience at Bob's. We were at the resort celebrating my girls birthday and it was an elevated experience (they printed their names on the menu). The food was great - ranging from wedge salad and onion rings to steak, duck and fried shrimp. My steak was perfect, along with the duck. I think the shrimp were overfried and not really worthy of the price as it kind of looked like a appetizer and not a main dish. I think there were some minor service issues like being seated next to a door where it was noisy and the Bob team would hold it open unnecessarily long (it was cold). We also had a reservation so I feel like we could have been seated in a better location. Food also came out in a odd order with my appetizer coming after salads. I did feel a bit rushed at times but overall a very great night.

I had a filet mignon, 9oz. It was cooked a good medium well. The baked potato was good but when presented no toppings. I asked the waiter and he did bring a nice plate with shredded cheddar, bacon bits, butter, etc. the strangest part was the carrot. In the middle of the plate was an uncut, whole sweetened carrot. The carrot was good, reminded me of tzissmes. My issue is the plate presentation was not attractive. We also hand a few appetizers. The onion rings looked good, except for the burned ones, but they had no flavor, calamari, hard, not good. And spicy tuna tartare which was good, the chips with it were blah, but the fish was good. I had the ordinary $29 Old fashioned drink. It was strong, ok taste, but I was "feeling it" so I liked it . The waiter was nothing special, for an expensive place the service is lacking. I'm also curious why they don't take a knife and clean bread crumbs. Unless I don't feel like leaving the resort, I would go someplace else for the price.

I have been meaning to check out this restaurant for many years and have never had a chance to get over there. Well, my wife and I decided to celebrate a promotion yesterday so we called and made a reservation. They asked are we celebrating anything and I said yes, a promotion. Our waiter started nice and we started with Salad but it went downhill from there. I ordered their $15 margarita and it came in a water glass. really? That's the best you can do water glass? Anyway, I ordered the large ribeye steak and she ordered the salmon and this is where the real letdown happened. They advertised prime grade beef. I was born and raised in Chicago and been around the block not my first rodeo. This was not prime beef. It was tough as shoe leather I cannot believe the low quality meat serving and calling at prime. Was worse. The waiter asked "we cook the salmon medium" and I asked "she likes it cooked through all the way is that cooked through" and he said "it's cooked through all the way and medium but if you like it more well done we can, but it's cooked" so we trusted him and let the restaurant make it their way. When she got it, take a look at the picture. The outside was cooked in the inside was Sushi. She even commented she couldn't eat it so I had shoe leather steak and my wife had Raw salmon and we were not happy. He came over and then tried to upsell us more stuff like a dessert and I said the girl said you're celebrating so something should be complementary? . He got a little bent out of shape which caused them to not offer us. Any coffee , and said "sure" and brought over a mud pie. Their prices are ridiculous for what you get. If they're going to charge Ruth Chris prices might as well just go over to Ruth Chris when you know it won't be let down and the quality is good. The food quality and serving does not match the price at all I spent $230 bucks which was Really a rip for what we got. It was not a pleasant experience and we will not be going back.

The ambiance here is great. The food is decent for a steak house. They serve warm bread. Each table gets a pickle jar which is interesting. Steak dishes are served with a giant carrot. Everyone who sees it for the first time cracks a joke. The calamari was not good. Cold, dry, chewy, fishy taste. The tuna tartare was amazing. Drinks are decent. We brought wine for a corkage fee.

This place is definitely not cheap, but I would say that you are getting a high quality experience/food in return. I unfortunately did get our mustached server's name but he provided excellent service to us. Was very patient with all of my wife's questions and indecision and was very attentive. We split the 9oz lobster (photo attached) and it did not disappoint. I tend to not like getting lobster because it is often poorly cooked and small. This was perfectly cooked and a good amount of meat. The massive carrot on the plate was a little strange but we all had a good laugh about it. Friend had the steak flight and said they were all good. Anyway, if you can get past the prices, the food is great, which for me is a bit surprising for a hotel restaurant.

Checked out Bob's for a special date night meal. what a beautiful property. They have complementary valet parking. And then you walk through the resort grounds to get to Bob's. It was Christmas time so everything was very decorated and beautiful. There is even a pop-up holiday bar within the resort grounds, but unfortunately it was closed. Maybe next year. We were seated right away and they have homemade pickles on every table. I do not eat pickles, but my husband loved it. We split a surf and turf meal, which was more than enough food. It was my husband's birthday and they brought out a complementary dessert, which was delicious, but we enough room to eat any more food. I would definitely go back there again in the future for a splurge night.

First off I got sick from the steak. Overall though, it's an overpriced mediocre steakhouse that is trying to be on par with a Flemmings but doesn't achieve that mark. Food was lackluster, giant carrot that even Mr Ed wouldn't finish is a bit absurd. The table next to us just gathered all the carrots, placed it on one plate and made a mountain of carrots. Why Management or Ownership doesn't understand how ridiculous it is is beyond me. French onion soup was bland and boring. Steak needed salt and pepper and had at least 4 ounces of fat that I placed on another plate. Asked for the potatoes with gravy and onions on side, and they came with them on it. Dessert was the only thing that was amazing and redeeming but would absolutely not recommend this restaurant. Sorry but it's just not good.

First time here at Bob's in May 2024 and I've lived in La Costa for 28 years. I only came here to see The Swinging Johnsons play and the restaurant did not disappoint. I'm a self defined filet mignon snob...I make my own and nothing can compare :-). But this came in a close (ish) second. The location is gorgeous but it can be tricky to find self parking. Yes, it's pricey, but you get what you pay for. Even the bread they served while we waited to order was amazing. I will be back for the Swinging Johnsons this summer but not sure I'd go there just for dinner without the entertainment. I am better able to justify the price with an awesome live band....dinner and a show!

I sat at the bar since I was a party of one and didn't have a reservation. The bartenders were very friendly, fun and on top of their game. She quickly took my drink and food order and checked on me several times. My martini was ice cold, perfectly dirty and delicious. I loved the gravy on the fried potatoes. My medium steak was cooked exactly medium and flavored to perfection. I love the old school steak house feel. The ambiance was exactly what I was looking for. I'll be back soon.

Where to even start! This place is AMAZING!! From the moment you walk in to the time you leave it's nothing but the best. We had the pleasure of having Fernando as our waiter. He was so kind, on top of everything and very knowledgeable with the menu. You start your dinning experience with some fresh warm bread that's so fluffy! We ordered the scallops, corn and poblano soup(just enough spice. Nothing over powering and really good), onion rings( I don't know how they do it but the onion never pulled out when you bite it each time) 16 oz filet with smashed potato's, Mac n cheese and broccolini. We ended the night with the brownie Sunday. Abby was also so sweet and stoped by to check on us to see how everything was going. Do we need anything. Also told us the history behind the pickles that are in the middle of the table with the first seating. We will be coming back for sure and requesting Fernando!

This is a tough review for me to post as this might possibly have been just my experience but everything here was incredible except the hostess. I've never encountered a situation like this before but here we go. I came in on Thursday right at opening (5pm) and asked the hostess if I could get a table for myself. I requested a booth if possible. She walks me over to a thin table that is next to a major walk way and I asked her if I could have something else a little more private. She proceeds to move me two tables over to another thin table that is next to a service door(that wasn't used while I was eating.) I politely asked if there was any reason I couldn't sit at a booth. And she said it was all reserved or certain sections weren't being serviced. And to make a reservation in advanced next time. My table was wobbly and I asked if I could move again and they wouldn't move me. I ate for about 45mins and the restaurant was practically empty the whole time. The next day, I did what she said and requested a reservation on OpenTable for the same time. The same hostess checks me in and tries to sit me at the SAME table! I asked her to please sit me ANYwhere else. She then tells me if I want a booth I now need to call it in?? Why are these booths so coveted when they end up being empty? It was beyond strange and quite rude at this point. She gave me a booth I wanted, I ate and left. Once again, the place was empty so I don't get any of her attitude. My server was incredible both days (same gentleman) and the food was perfect. I ordered a Porterhouse the first day and the Filet / lobster the next and I had no complaints about the food. I love the side options that come with the steaks. So I wish I could give this place 5 stars but that hostess made me feel like I wasn't welcome and I will not be returning any time soon at all.

Food: 2 stars. Took about an hour from ordering to receiving our food. Ordered lamb, no seasoning. Tasted off. Fried shrimp platter was over fried. Chopped salad was mediocre. Kid's pasta was overdone and mushy. All in all, an incredibly mediocre experience for $300. I noted off timing to our server, who had nothing to say, but ask the rest of the table 'did it really take that long?' However, Abigail provided great service and was very empathetic when we had something happen during dinner. Our server was fine, but nothing special. He forgot items we ordered. He offered sauce, which he also forgot until we asked again 15 min later. He wasn't diligent about our table. Abigail only helped serve us 2x and she made up for it with kindness. She actually made us feel welcome. All in all, I'd say the stars are due to her. I would save your time and go elsewhere. This was a disappointing food experience.

I would love to give Bob's Steak & Chop House a full five starts because I so enjoyed my time there. I had dinner there during my time at a conference in Carlsbad, CA along with over a dozen other people. It was a vendor sponsored event, and they certainly went all out with a four course meal and alcohol. Talking about alcohol, I drank a few French 75, while here. It is a delightful mix of Bombay Sapphire Gin, Fresh Lemon, Cinzano Prosecco. I would recommend trying it. For the first course we had jumbo shrimp cocktails as well as tenderloin crostini. Definitely a good first start. For the second course, I had the clam chowder, which was creamy and delicious. For the third course, I ordered the surf and turf which was a prime filet mignon 8oz with a lobster tail. This is where they lost that star. See I asked for well done, I got medium. I do not like that, and I did not want to make a deal out of it since I was busy enjoying some great company and laughing, but I missed out on the steak. The lobster tail was perfection though. During our time eating, we all had a number of drinks and of course we were laughing at the size of the carrot. I may have gotten some of the employees of the vendor to all send pictures of it to their boss and remark on its size and girth. Yeah... it was one of those nights. We finished with a great dessert which was either cheese or chocolate cake. I did have an enjoyable time, and though I wish they had not messed up on the steak, I still found the rest of the food to be amazing.

Food was good, but I expected better for the price. Service was bare minimum, our host was better than our server. In the reservation I noted it was my husbands birthday, and it was nice that the hostess acknowledged it, however that's where it ended. Our server never introduced himself, he just came over and asked if we wanted to start off with some water,(giving an impression that he was just getting water and our server would come by the table shortly after) he technically checked all the boxes of getting our order and checking on us after we got our food, but no effort was made past that. We can all can cook at home for cheaper than restaurants, so going out is an experience and for us we were celebrating a special moment, but to our server it was clear we were just another table not worth his time than the bare minimum. Will not return here, I would rather go to Eddie Vs prime seafood in La Jolla. Prices are around the same, and the food is better with much better service. Eddie Vs definitely gives you the experience/ambiance of treating yourself.

Bob's Steak and Chop House is a fine dining restaurant located in the Omni La Costa Hotel in San Diego. Since they are located in the hotel, you can wear casual attire. The atmosphere and staff are great. Take your kids--they'll love it, except for the carrots. The carrots were impressive to me, but the kids didn't like them. The filet mignon and ribeyes were perfectly cooked. It's a great example of a fine dining restaurant.

Bob's is truly the finest steak houses in San Diego! Literally everything was delicious here. Even the carrot in the New York Steak platter impressed me! My family and I had an amazing dinner since my sister was in town. We were treated like royalty the moment we walked in! I had the shrimp scampi pasta and every single bite of the pasta was filled with flavor. I can't wait for my next visit to Bobs! Huge shoutout to Scott and all the cooks for the amazing experience!

My wife and I came to Bobs to celebrate our anniversary. We couldn't have asked for better food or service. Our server, Daniel, was constantly checking on us and making sure we didn't need anything. After we told him we had a late lunch, he willingly agreed to split our order. We enjoyed two of their special cocktails before dinner and a nice wine with the meal. We started with the wedge salad, which was delicious. We split the house recommended bone-in ribeye and it was truly outstanding. We added roasted Brussels sprouts, another great dish. After dinner we were treated to a huge brownie dessert. The entire evening was a wonderful experience. Thank you all at Bobs for making our anniversary very special.

We were at the resort and got an 8:00 reservation on Saturday night - the restaurant was busy but starting to clear out. Nice ambiance. We ordered and our meals didn't they didn't come out for an hour until 9:15. Our waiter had disappeared and the person that i think was in change of "making sure everything is aright" bought our meals out. I had ordered my steak rare and it came out medium. I requested the waiter who finally showed up and offered to re-do the steak. I mentioned my concern that it had already taken over an hour to get served and he blamed the long wait on someone in our party wanting their steak well done and its takes longer (with attitude) - I almost fell out of my chair. The new steak came out promptly (how long does it take to cook a rare steak?), and I must say it was delicious. We asked for the check. The wives had both asked if they could get a steak salad, although it was not on the menu. We were charged for both steak dinner @ $66 and a salad for $11 or a $77 streak salad. We questioned it and they took the salads off. All-in-all what should have been a special evening turned into something much less. Will not go back - when you pay that much money it should be perfect and it was much less.

So disappointing. My husband and I picked Bob's to try out for our rescheduled valentines day dinner (we didn't want to go out on valentines day due to the crowds). We had a reservation and got sat down right away. That was basically the only part that went well. Our hostess told us this big long story about their housemade pickles and promised to bring some over, she never did. But other people she sat down got them right away. Our waiter gave me attitude about the wine I was trying to order as well as the meal I ordered. The food took forever (almost 2 hours) to come out and when it finally did, my husband had the wrong side dish and my lamb was severely undercooked. At this point we had been waiting so long that we didn't say anything, instead just ate what we could and got the check. We were so excited to try this place for the first time on a special occasion for us and it was such a let down. We will not be returning.

The restaurant along with the resort has gone down in quality and service. Waited well over an hour after being seated to get served the main course and my ribeye was over cooked which was disappointing along with my friend's ribeye.

Review for the lounge/bar only. I don't know why more people don't dine in the bar area of restaurants. It's less formal, it's livelier, you usually don't need reservations, and you can usually order anything and everything off the main menu. Bob's lounge area is more attractive than the main dining room, by the way. Interestingly, you CAN reserve tables in the lounge. We saw a number of "reserved" signs. We tried a few different items: calamari, the shrimp platter, and the Bleu Cheese salad (yes, they spell it "bleu"). The calamari was good and you get a large portion. The shrimp platter comes with six large shrimps. Two are fried, two are in a remoulade sauce, and two are meant for dipping in a cocktail sauce. It's a really nice dish but the price tag is very high ($28). If you like blue cheese, this salad is heaven. Keep in mind this is NOT the wedge which also comes with blue cheese. They very nicely, and without us asking, split it for us and it's a HUGE portion. I loved it and would order it again and again. Drinks are solid. The bartender who also waited on our table was great. The bus staff seemed inexperienced. They get very busy so if you want to sit in the dining room, make reservations well in advance. There appeared to be quite a few outside tables. Really good food but expensive! Fair warning.

Bob's is a great steakhouse to celebrate a special occasion or treat yourself with a delicious steak. The service is very professional, kind and attentive. Prices are fair in comparison to other steakhouses of the same caliber. Love the house made complimentary pickles. Definitely recommend checking out bobs chop house if you are looking for a new steak house.

Spent the weekend at La Costa with girlfriends and decided to have dinner at the hotel one of the nights. There is a giant jar of pickles on your table which are delicious. For a group of 7, the service was good. I shared the filet and ahi special. All in all, good food and would return.

My husband brought me to the resort for my Birthday and dinner at Bobs. The atmosphere was lovely and not too stuffy. It seems to be very family oriented, however it lacked seating for two. So we had to wait awhile, but it was worth it. The food was delicious. I had the steak and lobster and it was cooked to perfection. Daniel was our server and he was very attentive. We took dessert back and shared the 4 layer chocolate cake and carrot cake for 2 days. Amazing Birthday Celebration!

Nice place connected to the resort. And open to the public to dine. The outdoor patio ambiance is perfect. Our server Joseph was very attentive and knowledgeable of the items on the menu. The food was excellent. Very nice tasty and flavorful.

The filet is the best I've ever had. I go to any Bob's Steak and Chop House if I can find one. Lollipop lamb chops are amazing, the bread, the potatoes, the wedge salad, never had anything bad off the menu. Always great service.

High end, high priced Steak and Chop House located on the grounds of the Omni Resort. The service was excellent and unfortunately, everything else was lacking. The biggest issue we had on both our plates was the sweet carrot placed almost on top of the steak on the plate(see attached photo) My first bite of ribeye I tasted cinnamon which confused me initially, I then realized the glaze from the carrot was all over the side of my steak and the taste and smell ruined the experience for me and my wife. Maybe some people like sweet glaze on their steak but I surely do not. Perhaps if they used another smaller plate for the sides, and keep the steak on it's own platter(like every other high end steakhouse), that would be better than ruining a perfectly good piece of meat. I mentioned it to our waiter and he said some people love it and some hate it. You can put me in the latter category. Another issue was the constant moving of tables, opening the side door, shining a flashlight on the ceiling and use of the broomstick to check the recessed lights for most of the time we were there. I think they were having technical difficulties but it became extremely distracting. Overall not a great experience here, I would maybe give it one more chance, maybe it was just an "off" night at Bob's.

Had a great dinner with great service! Jeff our waiter and Justin the chef were wonderful. My husband had a dry aged rib eye that he said was delicious and I had the special which was a Chilean sea bass that was so yummy. Also loved our crème brûlée for dessert! Hope to be back soon!

Hadn't been to Bob's since pre-COVID. No reason other than life and other commitments. We had great experiences when we dined at Bob's in the past, so for our 47th wedding anniversary, we decided to go back for dinner. We were NOT disappointed! In fact, everything about the dining experience was outstanding! The atmosphere was very welcoming and warm, the waiter was exceptionally professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. The GM spent quite a while talking with us and made us feel appreciated. The food was nothing short of phenomenal! Perfectly cooked steaks, awesome "smashed potatoes, and the caramelized carrots are amazing! I highly recommend the shrimp platter for an appetizer! You get the feel of an old, high end, Sinatra-style steakhouse in the most classic sense. We will be back with increased frequency from now on and highly recommend Bob's to anyone who values a great meal!

Bob's is a one-and-done for us, unfortunately. First time here last Saturday 8/31/24. Had a 5:00 reservation, right when they open. Third party to be seated, yet multiple tables seated after us were well into eating their meal long before our food arrived. Took 40 minutes for 2 medium rare filets and mine had a huge vein of grissle running through it preventing me from eating the last quarter of it. No apology or explanation offered for the long wait. I'm seeing other complaints on here for long wait times for food arrival. Manager finally appeared and strolled around the dining room but never asked anyone how their experience was. I was livid by the time we left. Not even close to being worth the $65 per plate price tag.

10/10. Enough said! Carrot has a sweet glaze almost like sweet yams. Steak cooked perfectly. Mac and cheese was decent and asparagus was cooked perfectly. Drinks were pretty strong but well mixed.

I went in expecting mediocre having recently had several bad luck with steakhouses attached to resorts/hotels but boy was I pleasantly wrong! The food was absolutely incredible - even the kids mac n cheese stood out! The cocktails were also very delicious - highly recommend the after dinner coffee cocktails as well as the cheesecake. Service was also top notch - our server was very personable and the staff was super on top of having our water constantly refilled. I wish we lived closer as this would definitely become our go to steakhouse!

We were a party of 3 who dined here on Saturday, 4/26/24. Unfortunately, we were a bit disappointed with the experience and the food. We were guests staying at the Omni La Costa resort and had dinner reservations at 7:30pm. We had arrived on time but still had to wait a while for our table. Our waiter seemed quite busy tending to the tables in our section. As for the food: first to come out was the bread, water and our bottle of wine; we enjoyed this very much. Our dinner was a porterhouse steak (medium-and sliced to share), with sides of mashed potatoes, mushrooms, and cream corn. The steak was not hot at all; same with the mushrooms and mashed potatoes...as if it was sitting out for a while. Our overall rating is just okay, but not sure if we would return or recommend. Sadly disappointed of this last dinner of our vacation.

Date did not like her pasta at all. My steak was tough and flavorless. Service was mediocre. For the price it is not worth it.

I would like to be honest that this is not a grade A steak house. They are ok but not wow. The shrimp and our anniversary cake was great. The server was knowledgeable and professional. We enjoyed the atmosphere...The steak didn't have taste but it was cooked the way we asked for. Recently, wherever we go they are messing up this portion. The mushroom side was so salty and the carrot was so sweet. Our mules were ok but not the best. We stayed in Omni that why we decided to come here.

We went to Bob's to celebrate our 24th anniversary. We sat on the beautiful patio. The hostesses were very friendly and attentive. Our waiter was fantastic. We had a delicious Old Fashioned and ordered the wedge salad. Wow this is the best wedge salad around. I ordered the 9oz filet, my husband the ribeye. Warning, the potato choices are odd. My husband wanted to try the skillet fried potatoes because he wanted to try the gravy. They were pretty much potato chips with gravy. Our waiter mentioned they were way overcooked so maybe that was the problem. We ate our fill but could only eat half of the meats and then asked to take the rest home. BE SURE THEY HEAR YOU. Our steaks were taken and thrown away! We were both pretty upset about it. They were really delicious pieces of filet and ribeye. They did try to make it right but of course, the small thin 2 oz piece of filet didn't compare. Guess it was better than nothing?

This is how the food was presented. Just throw everything on the plate. The entire family that ate the steak had stomach issues afterward. Will not return to this place again.
