    Gorgeous restaurant. I took a few clients there for a business lunch and the place was perfect! Ambiance was very rustic, noise level was low enough to be able to have a conversation with a 6-top table, food was delicious, waitress was incredibly attentive. Will be returning!

    Last night, my filet mignon was the absolute best steak I have ever had. Seasoning was perfect and was cooked to a perfect juicy medium with crusty top. Bob's cream corn is so delicious - that little snap when you bite into it tells me that it was freshly made. Of course , the carrot and baked potato were very good, as well. I like that Bob's offers some great wines by the glass. Since I only have one - I like it to be very good quality. Desserts were excellent as usual - the key lime and the towering ice cream with glazed chocolate. Thanks to Bob's and their friendly and excellent staff for CONSISTENTLY delivering the best steaks in the metroplex. Highly recommend!
