   Took my girlfriend out here just last night before we left town. It was amazing, never seen my lady so satisfied with a meal. I got the bone in ribeye medium rare, perfectly cooked with the skillet potatoes. My girlfriend had the rack of lamb and it was phenomenal. Also go for the scallop appetizer it's fire! 🔥 We both agreed to come back every time we end up in Carlsbad or La Costa. Greg was very friendly and Daniel did a great job serving us. Thank you for the awesome experience!

   As guests of La Costa, we went to the restaurant around 4pm And requested a patio seat for our dinner. When we arrived later (7:15pm) we were told this wasn’t possible. Our dinner took two hours (for main course) by this time, we’d drunk our wine and weren’t as hungry. When the food arrived it was cooked beautifully but we took a lot to go. A little disappointing for an anniversary dinner.

   Underwhelmed. Expected great food , but other than the steak, the rest of it was ordinary at best, and way way too expensive. Can't think of any reason to recommend this place to anyone, nothing exceptional and can't imagine it would exceed anypne's expectations.

   My Wife and I Celebrated Our 29th. Wedding Anniversary last night at Bob’s - La Costa & couldn’t be happier or more content with the experience, from the Valet parking to the incredible Carrot cake We split for dessert. We’re regular frequenters of the Bob’s Steak & Chop House restaurants and this was by far the best ever! Nicole was Our server and her very patient easy going demeanor combined with her extensive & spot on menu and cocktail knowledge and recommendations, added to Our overall enjoyment of the evening. She was very friendly, caring, professional and had one of the best “can do” attitudes I’ve encountered in quite some time. I would hire her for My Medical Practice as She’s such a great “People Person” that obviously takes pride in her job. I had the Veal Porterhouse Chop which was prepared perfectly as requested and My Wife had the Alaskan Halibut Special & it certainly WAS-super moist and tasty. Jake was very timely in making sure We always had plenty of ice water, lemon wedges, fresh baked “signature” sourdough bread and butter & a clean and appropriately cleared table. To top it off, the manager-Rachel came to Our table to make sure everything was great and to wish Us a Happy Anniversary and comped Us the dessert of Our choice! We saw her make her way around the entire dining area checking on other tables and even served food to many diners even though they were very adequately staffed. The Valet parking team were very friendly & efficient as well. It was truly a memorable dining experience & intimate Anniversary celebration. We’ll definitely be back again soon! Thank You all at Bob’s for making it so special for Us!

   Bob’s Steak & Chop House – La CostaResponded todayThank you for your review! We are so glad that you and your wife had a great time celebrating your anniversary with us at Bob's.

    Bobs provided a very enjoyable dining experience. The steaks were on point, and the appetizer was the perfect start to our meal. The price for the meat was not over the top, which was refreshing considering nowadays you can shell out serious cash for a decent steak. The outdoor dining was perfect and service was on point. We will return in the future!

    Our first time at Bob’s. Hubby wanted to try it for his birthday dinner. The pickle jar at the table was interesting. I like pickles, but I was the only one in my family to try one. The bread was delicious. Our waiter and the gentleman he was training were both very attentive. The clam chowder, was very good. The prime rib was excellent. It was very well cooked. So was the 9 oz filet. Crab cakes were chock full of crab. Smashed potatoes were tasty. The only item on my plate I didn’t enjoy was the cinnamon sweet carrot, but I don’t like cooked carrot or sweetened veggies. Since we were celebrating a birthday, the waiters brought out a huge brownie/ice cream concoction that really brought the meal home. A bit pricey, but overall, a very good meal for a special occasion.

    What a disappointment. This was an anniversary dinner so a special night out. The service staff was completely under staffed so much so that we rarely saw our waiter. The steak was over done. Ordered the filet medium rare and it came out well done. By the time dinner arrived I didn’t want to wait for another one. Sides were bland and unappealing. Salad was drenched in dressing. For the price point I expected to be wowed by presentation and flavor.

    No better Steakhouse in all of San Diego. From the greeting at the front desk all the way through the end of the meal you are immersed in nothing but professionalism, relaxing environment and the best food you could possibly imagine. The service is second to none and the visits by management to ensure your experience is a great one is always appreciated. This is the restaurant you want to visit, whether its just time for a great experience or a special occasion

After 630 it got real noisy from large groups. Young people laughing and talking. Got pretty noisy but the atmosphere was festive. I recommend hands down Bob’s.

    We enjoyed our evening & the food was good; however, over priced relative to other fine dining restaurants. Our waiter was very anxious to take our order, but once we placed our order it took a LONG time to get our two entrées. My husband ordered a glass of Educated Guess Pinot Noir. I was trying to find it on my menu, but my menu was different showing a Pinot Noir called Bravium (for the same price). But since he ordered Educated Guess, we assumed that is what he got. Later when we looked at the bill, we realized it said he got the Bravium...The waiter never told us there was a discrepancy in what we ordered versus two menus with different wines listed… very confusing. Waiter should have mentioned something to us. These are the small things that make a restaurant exceptional versus just average. For the prices this restaurant charges, it should be exceptional service. One nice thing we would like to point out is the friendliness of the receptionists at the front desk and their willingness to help out with our seating requests.

    Wait staff seemed rushed and a bit quick. It was my cousins birthday and we made this reservation specifically for him, and added it to the OpenTable reservation. Waiter didn't acknowledge the birthday and for desert...after spending $500 my wife asked if they "do anything for a birthday." The waiter seemed confused and said yes of course, choose something and we'll take it off the bill. We ordered and still got charged for it. Tipping the waiter over $100, I would have expected a little more service, or at the very least for the restaurant to have better communication for a special event like a birthday or anniversary.

    I loved how close this restaurant is to us in Encinitas. We enjoyed the walk from the car to the restaurant, admiring the beautiful landscape. It was our first time there, celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary, and we were sat in a secluded area, able to enjoy the pretty music being played outside by a gal on her guitar. Right away I was excited about the pickles in the jar on our table. We each ordered a filet. I had mine topped with a bleu cheese crumble and it was delicious. I started with a rather big cup of creamy tomato bisque, which was nice, because more often than not I want something bigger than a tiny cup but smaller than a big bowl, so this was in between and perfect. The dijon potatoes were spectacular, and the large carrot that is included with every meal was the best part, incredulously. They brought us an amazing complimentary sundae with peanut butter chocolate brownie; holy canole. We will, most definitely, be back.

    We had dinner at Bob's last night with two other couples. One couple has dined here with us before but the other couple had never been here. We were seated promptly and greeted by a sweet young lady who filled up our water glasses and served us delicious bread and butter. Our waiter was Neal and he was excellent. The blue cheese salad is always fabulous. My husband and I split one and it was more than enough. Two people had the rack of lamb and raved about it. One had the crabcakes and loved her dinner. One had a filet and two of us had the ribeye. All steaks were perfectly seasoned and cooked exactly as ordered and incredibly delicious. The glazed carrot is always superb and the baked potatoes (with side accompaniments so each person can fix their own) are always delicious. We were too full to order dessert even though we were celebrating two birthdays. It was a beautiful evening with excellent service and food. Highly recommend.
