We went to Bob’s for our twentieth anniversary and it was fabulous. We both ordered the filet mignon because the other steak options were ginormous. The service was great, the food was really good, and the overall vibe was celebratory. Since we were staying at the hotel where Bob’s is located, this was an easy way to mark a special occasion.

What a menu! Make sure to start with the amuse bouche, the mini arancini was perfect. The mushrooms appetizer is unlike any I've had; warm, cold, crispy, umami, tangy, creamy. The trout was warm and briney but offset by a beautiful char on the skin. Fantastic dining experience, exceptional vibes. Can't wait to come back next time I'm in Lousiville.

We were accidentally there at happy hour. Drinks were $6.00 on a Tuesday evening. Nice crowd, controlled noise, sat in the bar, did not rush us. Service was good and appropriate. Had the tuna tartare and as always was fabulous.
