    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.

    This restaurant is co-located at an Omni Resort that by nature is very family-friendly and has lots of kids. We dined at this Bob’s with our 2 small children, who stayed seated, mostly kept quiet, and watched an iPad during the meal. Our server seemed mostly interested in flipping the table to get us out of there, as he didn’t offer drinks, didn’t tell us the specials, and didn’t offer dessert. Despite this, we ordered an appetizer, steak and kids meals, and dessert, as well as a few rounds of drinks, and our bill was well into the price range of a typical meal at Bob’s. The food was fine, nothing amazing, and it was kind of an overall letdown from what I typically have experienced in the past at other Bob’s locations. I’m not sure if I would go to this location again.

    Best steak I’ve ever eaten. Very expensive but I’d highly recommend this place. My wife had the salmon with mashed potatoes. Never had any better. Great place. As a retired public servant, I can’t eat there except special occasions. They gave me a dessert for my 80th birthday that could feed 4 people. Just amazing.
