A friend was in the mood for some surf and turf, so I brought her to Bob's. I told her that I used to come here years ago before it was surrounded by homes and the freeway - so I was praying inside that the place was still as good as I remembered.
The service was awesome. I don't remember our server's name but I wish that all food servers were like this guy was. Friendly. But not so much that it seemed fake. Knowledgeable - but not arrogant. Attentive but not in a hovering sort of way. A few times I caught him looking around the corner to check up on the tables in his area. Couldn't ask for more.
The food was pretty good too.
I do have to mention though - the shrimp cocktail consisted of four shrimps and a tin container of cocktail sauce. I've never seen a cocktail served like that. Usually it's in some type of glass filled with the sauce and shrimp. Other than that - it was good.
I ordered the prime rib and lobster tail. I had my reservations when it was served because the lobster shell was charred so I thought maybe it may have been overcooked. After the first bite, I was proven wrong which didn't bother me one bit. It was explained that the prime rib was cooked in a smoker. I couldn't taste even a hint that it was smoked but nevertheless, it was flavorful to where I didn't even use much of the sauces or dips that the prime rib was served with.
For dessert, my friend and I shared a Tiramisu. I really enjoyed it because it didn't have a strong coffee taste. That may not be to other people's liking as it may not be what they're expecting but it was a nice surprise to me as I don't drink coffee.
As for the prices, it could be considered pricey however you'd pay a considerable amount more if you visited any of the other steak houses in the valley.
