Bobby's Restaurant, Jazz Lounge

One of the best meals and time i have had in the phoenix area. Had the fresh halibut was cooked perfect my date had the filet very tender and the Bearnaise sauce was great. Great wine list, after dinner went up to the lounge for after dinner drinks and listen to the entertainment very good.
Service was very attentive.

I took some clients out to dinner this evening and had a very good time. The decor is quite modern but not offensive. very tasteful sculptures, high ceilings, great Dylan, Marley, and Bobby Derrin posters. We started with the Bruchetta which was some of the best i've ever had. it was't overpowered with garlic or other seasonings. it had a very smooth olive oil which gave it a nice balance with the fresh toasted bread drizzled with balsamic vinegar. next were the stuffed mushrooms which were also perfectly done. again, not to much seasoning so you could actually taste the flavors you were meant to. i had the wedge salad which was just as i expected. no bacon, but it came with artichoke, olives, and chopped tomato on the side. not your traditional "steak house" wedge but still very good. For dinner i had the halibut which was fantasic. Perfectly grilled giving it a light crunch and served over a bed of sauteed spinach with cooked tomatoes on top. it was very tasty. other entrees in our party included the veal chops, ny strip, and scallops. although i didn't taste any of the other dishes, everyone in my party had great things to say. another good thing was the wine list. not only did they have a nice selection, but they also served by the glass which was nice to have seeing as though none of us could decide on the same bottle. the whole time we ate there was a live mucician that was playing acoustic tunes for all generations. everything from the eagles to bob dylan to jack johnson to cat stevens to santana. very well done. although the music was a nice touch, it did make the restaurant a little on the loud side but nothing obtrusive. The prices aren't cheap, but you get what you pay for--good quality food. I'm so tired of overpaying for lousy food--not the case here. worth every penny,. the service was also excellent. our water glasses were never empty and we never had a stack of plates left in front of us. i'm suprised it wasn't more crowded
