From the service to the food I can only characterize our visit as just ok. Service was fair as was the food. The chowder was good but our meals were plain and bland. Not at all what I was expecting. Maybe as a first time I just don't know the right thing to order. I didn't like the message that every meal is cooked to order so it will take at least 15 minutes. With that message I was expecting something better than what I got. Sounds more like a lack of help in the kitchen.
Botom line is I don't think I'll be going back. For the difference in price I'd rather sit in the bar at the Woodshed.

I have taken my wife out to dinner to the Bob House on several occasions throughout this past summer. On each visit we have found the service and the food well received and the prices to be in line with all the other great restaurants the Lakes Region has to offer.
With that being said, my wife & I took two of our friends there last weekend as well. Not sure what night you went but we had gone on Saturday night and felt that the food was timely and good. Our waitress was Brandi as she was professional and attentive to our table. Started out with 2 mixed drinks, 2 waters with lemon and scallops wrapped in bacon for our appertizer. For meals we had two steak dinners, a chicken dinner and a seafood dinner. The guys cleaned their plates and satisfied, and the women had take-home for the next day. We topped off the night with two desserts to share. In all, our night was what you would expect at any of the top restuarants in the Lakes Region. I think the only negative was my dessert (some kind of bread pudding creme' brulee) as it was not what I expected,oh well.
After all said and done, I believe the bill came to $125.00 with tip. Great food, great service and great value. Nothing to complain about...We'll be back !!
