I had a chance to taste the steak there since it's located at hotel I stayed. The staff there provided pretty good recommendation regarding the selection of dishes. The steak at Bob's is so tender & well done. If you have a chance to be around SF, please try. More

I had to eat alone on my birthday, so treated myself to dinner here. Had an excellent dinner, though the price was steep. My steak was undercooked, so they comped my dessert, which I appreciated. More

We had dinner the evening of our arrival in addition to two breakfasts. The tables were inviting and intimate for dinner. Our dinner meal of filet mignon was prepared perfectly without the heavily smoked flavor many restaurants present. Tender and delicious. Service was attentive but not overbearing. The breakfast menu was satisfying and delicious. I don't eat oatmeal often, especially... More

Very expensive but cozy with a nice street view. A hot loaf of bread is delivered to each table which is the perfect start to the meal. More

I thoroughly enjoyed the tender rib-eye I ate at Bob's. The fancy ambiance made me feel like a king. Even the vegetables had a galaxy of taste. The only problem is that you almost need a king's bank account to pay the bill. But I guess that's the price of true luxury. If I were you, I'd save up money... More
