    We were taken to a fairly small dining room which the hostess said is quieter than the larger one. That was perfect for me, and she was so right. Our server was Neil T. and he and the other staff members that served us were fantastic. Neil explained the menu and answered my questions. We had a leisurely dinner, the food was fabulous, and the overall experience was wonderful. We were celebrating my husband's birthday and will definitely keep Bob's in mind for special occasion dinners.

    Happy hour looked like a great deal! We sat at the bar while waiting for our table. It’s such a treat coming here. Service is always impeccable. The spaghetti squash dish was sincerely out of this world. We split a steak and the squash and it was amazing. The Caesar salad had an anchovy across the top it looked intimidating but I tested it was not prepared for it to be such a good addition. Usually it’s minced into the dressing and is well covered. We went to Eddy V’s the night before. (Which was really good) But Hands down Island Prime for the win.
