   Great dirty martinis served with blue cheese stuffed olives and I asked for a twist! Great beginning for the tuna tartare which was a little too sweet for me but the martini balanced the starter. The mix green salad was a good choice as the next dish in anticipation of the aged steak which was perfection. Sam and the rest of the staff were attentive,

   Bob’s Steak & Chop House – La CostaResponded 7 days agoWe appreciate your understanding. Saturday was a very busy night and in retrospect a little more staff would have been helpful. We always strive for excellence and it sounds like we fell short tonight. Please come in and give us another try.

   I try and go to All Bob’s where ever there is one. This one was just subpar. Bisque was bland… steak undercooked. Bottle of wine we had was over 150$ of the usual price in the store lol It was just ok….

   We enjoyed it but why don't they provide butter knives with the bread? We had to use our steak knives which is weird. Also one of the assistant servers took our bread plates away before we were finished with the bread. Steak was not the best we've had (even from a prior visit there), and the Oscar style on the steak is a crab cake instead of the usual crab, which they should clarify on the menu. Love the carrot though!
   

   Bob’s Steak & Chop House – La CostaResponded 7 days agoThank you for your review. We understand the desire to have butter knives however this is unfortunately not part of our brand setting. In the future, please feel free to ask us and we can bring you a different knife. I will be sure to address this and your other concerns with my staff. Our steaks are always prime and always come from the same purveyor. Please inform us in the future before you leave so that we can better address your concerns. Please reach out before your next visit!

    The venue is very pleasant and inviting situated within the Omni La Costa Resort in Carlsbad, CA, the visually pleasant location is topped off by complementary valet parking. We arrived early for our difficult to get reservation and had to wait a bit but it was obvious to us that the staff was working hard to prep tables between reservations. The obligatory bread was warm, soft, and quite delicious, the butter was soft and easy to spread, not hard like so many careless restaurants serve it. We started our meal with the Onion Ring appetizer, you get about 6 very large rings. They were edible but were not great, the flavor was unexpectedly odd, not very oniony. It seemed to me that someone was trying too hard to make something different and unique. They succeeded on that task, but the three of us did not like them enough to finish them. my wife and I shared the Wedge Salad, it was as you would expect crisp lettuce wedges, crispy bacon and a very nice bleu cheese dressing. My wife and I both ordered the 14oz prime New York Strip steak and my daughter order the Crab Cakes, the steaks were both cooked perfectly just as we ordered them and were fantastic. The baked potato we ordered came with at a full set of condiments to top it as you would like (Cour cream, bacon, shredded cheddar, chives, and butter, a nice touch. The meal comes with Glazed Carrot, this overly sweet carrot was cooked well as it had just the right amount of crunch but the sweet coating was too much for all at our table and none of them were finished. The Crab Cakes. My daughter loves crab cakes and ordered them, I did not taste them but her description was they taste like new car seats, at $46 for two 3" diameter crab cakes you would expect them to be Gordon Ramsey level good. I tried one and besides a strong fish smell they did have a hint of 2023 Honda Civic seat scent. Did I go home happy? Meh. Would I recommend this restaurant? Yes. Would I go back? Yes.

    First, the service is amazing and certainly the highlight. Our server Sam was funny, friendly, and took great care of us. And the cocktails are also terrific. But unfortunately the food was massively disappointing, even more so at this price point. The steaks were fine - nothing special. My seared tuna was cooked all the way through and drowning in sauce. Salads and sides were also drowning in sauce, cream, or dressing so that the natural flavors of the food were buried. The kitchen could use a lighter and more precise hand.

    Sad experience. The filet cut of meat looked like it came from Costco, I have had better cuts of filet at Longhorn. Not worth the $$$. The baked potato was the only good thing from dinner.

    First time visiting Bob’s in CA. We used to frequent Bob’s Steak & Chophouse where we formerly lived in TX (Austin, San Antonio), and have been fans of their food for years. My wife and I enjoyed the food, it is always exceptional and sits at the top of our Prime Steakhouse list. The location was very nice, we were received well and seated promptly. The service throughout our meal was ok, and I certainly understand when it’s busy there can be alot to desire. I do believe the our servers, although friendly, wasn’t as attentive to our needs as the other Bob restaurants we’ve visited. But overall, we enjoyed our date night nonetheless and will definitely return. Thank you as always.

    We went for our 39 wedding anniversary. We were treated with 'white gloves', from the hostess who escorted us to table to the waiters and even the chef gifted us a large warm brownie peanut butter ice cream sundae with a happy anniversary message. Steak and lamb chops were choice, and even included the sides (many steak houses serve everything Ala Carte). We had a very special evening and would highly recommend for celebrating life!

    We had an amazing experience tonight at Bobs. We sat outside on the patio. The ambience was perfect. Then we had the sweetest server, Madison. She recommended the Pure Paso blend. Perfect for my palette. She was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. He had the filet, perfectly seasoned and cooked. I had the pork rib chop. So delicious and the apple sauce?! To die for. All 3 managers checked on us to make sure everything was up to par. Shoutout to Abby, Rachael, and Greg. Definitely coming back❤️

    Appetizers, shrimp cocktail and calamari were good, steak was mediocre at best, not properly cooked. Mac and cheese was so-so. Steaks came out with a HUGE carrot on the plate, apparently some Bob's thing.

    This was our second time dining at Bob’s while staying at the Omni LaCosta and it was, once again, a great dining experience. My wife, my daughter (6), and I were fortunate enough to have the same server, Daniel, both times, and he was amazing. From the moment we sat down, to the wonderful birthday dessert he brought for our daughter, and everything in between, it was a great dining experience. I myself had the 12 ounce fillet with a baked potato, my daughter had the same, and my wife had the crusted Seabass. Everything was cooked to perfection and delicious. We will definitely be coming back when we return.

    Food (12oz filet) was absolutely exceptional (the cut itself and preparation), as was the chowder... service was somewhat marginal for a restaurant of this caliber - a bit slow and somewhat inattentive - had higher expectations for the level of service...

    Most consistent steakhouse in San Diego County. I have eaten many good steaks around town, sometimes they are amazing and sometimes they are not. Not at Bob’s though. I can always count on a delicious steak! Bartender’s, Todd and Cherry are amazing at their craft, and their service is exceptional!
