Bob’s on Margaret – Restaurant Evaluate

-


The Bob’s on Margaret restaurant evaluate was one thing that I used to be very enthusiastic about doing. Particularly since they have been providing a 50% off particular for the month of October. So, with pals in tow, we made reservations for 5pm final night. We arrived a couple of minutes early; as we waited for the doorways to open together with a small crowd of different diners, we admired the clear look of this newer eatery.

We determined to dine exterior because it was such a pleasant night. There may be loads of indoor and outside eating house right here. Once more, all of it seemed clear and new and classy. The bar space was attractive, and because the evening went on, the bar proved to be a well-liked place for the locals to collect. And, they made some tasty cocktails as nicely. As well as, they’ve just a few alcohol free cocktails as nicely which is good to see on a drink menu. Spoiler alert, the drinks and the environment have been by far the perfect a part of this expertise.

Bob’s on Margaret Starters

Initially, we ordered the mussels and the tuna poke bowl for the desk to begin. Presentation was lovely. The mussels have been respectable. They have been served with scrumptious toast and sufficient broth to dip and luxuriate in. It was a bit delicate within the taste division, however pleasant.

Sadly, the tuna poke bowl was a special story. First, there was nearly no tuna in it. And, the standard was horrid; many of the tuna was inedible cartilage. We advised the workers and so they appeared detached. The remainder of the bowl was piled excessive with mango, carrot, avocado, edamame, cucumber, cabbage, and seaweed salad. Whereas these elements have been recent, the whole lot was utterly bland aside from the seaweed salad which was recent and scrumptious.

Subsequent, my husband and I cut up the wedge salad and our pals cut up a spinach strawberry salad. Once more, we have been upset with the salads. Substances have been recent, however the whole lot was missing style. The wedge had nearly no dressing, which was fairly uneventful within the taste division, and there have been only a few pork stomach bits which might have not less than given the salad some pep. Our pals didn’t even understand that the dressing on their salad was blue cheese because it had no taste to it.

Bob’s on Margaret Entrees

For our entrees, I went with the scallops which have been served with a pea puree and mashed potatoes. There have been solely 4 scallops on the plate, however they have been cooked correctly. Nonetheless, I need to say that the perfect half was the mashed potatoes which have been garlicky and scrumptious. I simply wished there have been a bit extra of them with an already small entree.

Subsequent, my husband determined to get the 12oz ribeye, and he requested for it to be achieved medium. It was most likely the thinnest steak I’ve ever seen served at a restaurant. And, it was cooked nearer to nicely achieved, so it was robust and missing taste. The waitress did provide to have a brand new one ready for him, however at that time he didn’t need to wait for an additional one to be cooked whereas the remainder of us ate our meals. Sadly, he didn’t just like the grilled veggies, largely eggplant, however I assumed these have been scrumptious and nicely seasoned. He mentioned a steak at Outback would have been higher.

Amanda went with the Bouillabaisse. She mentioned that the seafood in it and the squash noodles have been cooked completely, however once more, all of it actually lacked taste.

Jason went with the tuna steak particular. Sadly, he ended up having it despatched again to the kitchen because it was nearly utterly uncooked; they solely seared it momentarily on one aspect and the opposite aspect by no means even touched the warmth. At the least it solely wanted a few minutes within the kitchen in order that didn’t maintain up dinner too lengthy. Once more, the grade of tuna was not that nice. The rice had zero taste, however the seaweed salad was good. Additionally, there was no wasabi which might have made the tuna considerably pleasant.

Extra About Key West

Since the whole lot we tried was just about wanting, apart from the drinks, we determined to not temp it with dessert and as a substitute we headed to Flamingo Crossing for ice cream. The overall invoice was $350, however with the low cost it was $175 for which I used to be glad because the meals high quality didn’t warrant the value. It was an actual disappointment for us all.

After this expertise, I’d not come again right here or advocate it for anybody for dinner. Nonetheless, I’d advocate the bar for drinks.
