| - I have mix feelings on this place, that's it, 3.5 stars...
Two of us stopped at Bobby's after a movie, being my 1st time here, didn't really know what to expect, and I was in flip-flops...So here's a bit of recap:
-Bread basket - warm baked garlic/cheese bread, definitely one of a kind...
-Blue Point Oysters on half shelf - fresh and mid-siazed oysters, pair with fresh lemon juice, some horseradish and some tabasco sauce, this just made my day!! Surprisingly, the usual customers of Bobby's don't seem to have oysters with tabasco cuz when I asked for it, our waitress had to reconfirm, and it didn't come in the original bottle, instead was pulled into a little sauce/juice cup...just kinda of weird... But I don't mind as long as the oysters are good!
-Cannelloni with Mariana sauce - tasty and filling, but feel like the Mariana sauce was kind of short, maybe they could pour a bit more sauce? It's a bit dry eating without the sauce...but overall it's good.
-Lobster linguini - many different kinds of seafood (lobster tail, shrimp, scallops, clams and mussels) in a Mariana sauce. It didn't give me a surprising feeling, I think it was just average, and the noodles were a bit dry and hard...
-No dessert. What a surprise? Well, they 'presented' the whole menu on a tray. Seriously? I've seen raw food being presented on a tray to show the freshness, not dessert. I guess when I order dessert, I always wait for the excitement to come, to surprise me, I mean it's dessert, you can do so many imaginations with it, I have never seen restaurants have created a same exact look of dessert before (unless it's the standard form)... so I'm expecting something does not only feed my taste bug but also eye-catching...after I saw the whole presentation, I didn't want any, that just blew off my hopes..
Overall experience at Bobby's was just fine. It was a very slow Sunday night, but I do appreciate very much the live music...And I just saw they have a $30 special dinner menu? Since when? Today? Cuz I wasn't told at the restaurant yesterday (3/20)...
