    I loved literally everything about our evening at Bob’s. Our first cocktail in the bar was perfection and the staff were welcoming and efficient. Antonio took excellent care of us at dinner…down to every detail. He was just the right level of patient, fun, and informative. And we cleaned every plate. Melt in your mouth American Wagyu won the night!
