   I haven't been back to Bob Chinn's since before the Pandemic. The food was just as excellent as it always had been. Our waiter was wonderful, attentive, knew just the right time on everything and really did a nice job. Kudos to him! I must say, the dish I always order there was just as fabulous as I had remembered and the portions was just as generous as before. The price, however, nearly doubled! Yikes!

   First visit was in 1988 when Bob had this place hopping with 2 hour wait times and those days lasted for many years. Since management changes over the years and the passing of Bob the place has never been the same yes we come here but from reservations to food it’s absolutely not the same. Prices are so out of touch to make up for the losses that it’s crazy. Having lunch 2 days ago the salmon BV was so overcooked the food is OK but nothing to brag about. Lunch for 2 get ready to pass $100 and Dinner for 2 if you have 1 cocktail will exceed $150. Those prices are 100% Without KCL or Lobster. Sad situation in an ever changing environment

   Server was truly exceptional! Thank you. Bit crowded and noise level was high. Food excellent! Famous garlic rolls were a disappointment because the rolls were stale hidden by not enough garlic or oil. Overall good and would go again.

   My friend and I stopped in for her birthday lunch celebration. Art was our server and made sure to have our appetizers not come out all at once, keep our drinks full and to give us an awesome experience. We will definitely come back again.
