I'm torn...torn I tell you. I wanted to love Bobby's...I really did. I wanted to give it at least one more star....but, alas, I can't. Let's start with the good. Shall we? I think we shall.
As I walked into Bobby's I was struck by how tastefully decorated it was. Very classy, very courteous hostesses who took care of us even on a Saturday night without a reservation. We sat outside with plenty of heaters available to keep even the cold-blooded members of our party very comfortable.
The food was really deserving of 4 stars. Excellent bread brought to the table, very good food. I had the paella. Some of the better paella I've had in awhile. One of my dinner companions said, "Not to the level of paella I had in Spain, but very good." Fresh quality ingredients, and about the perfect amount. Not a skimpy dish. I also tried the grilled sea-bass, and the swordfish. I would order either one of these also with no fear. Both excellent. My Grey Goose slightly dirty martini with blue cheese stuffed olives was also perfect! :)
Now for the not so good. Wait staff was very friendly but not particularly efficient. Even after noting that it was a Saturday evening, still a little slow. One of the dinners was burnt in the kitchen, so we were informed by the manager (very nice) that her sea bass would be delayed. Not a big deal, things happen. My biggest problem is the music. It says all over the place that they have live jazz. Since when do tired old Motown classics count as jazz? I didn't hear any jazz that night. Just some R&B covers sung marginally.
So....will I go there again? Yes. Will it be for the music? Not likely...I'll be going for the food! LOL
