Wonderful dinner at Bob’s steak & chop house! Located in the Omni La Costa Resort and is definitely top notch. Our server was amazing and made great recommendations for items on the menu. They are known for their steaks but the seafood was delicious as well! If you are looking for a new steak house try this place out!

Food is good, I expect phenomenal for the prices. The sides could be better and more flavorful. Service was okay bit also a bit slow. We waited a long time after dessert waiting on our check.

We celebrated New Year's Eve at this charming steakhouse located in a chic and beautifully designed hotel, and the experience was a mix of highs and a slight miss. Opting for outdoor seating was a fantastic choice—it was magical dining beside a beautifully decorated Christmas tree, with the festive ambiance adding to the evening's charm. The staff were wonderful—friendly, attentive, and quick to accommodate any requests. Their warmth definitely enhanced the overall experience. Food-wise, the clam chowder was the star of the meal—creamy, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. It’s definitely something we’d come back for. However, the steak, unfortunately, didn’t live up to the same standard. It wasn’t bad, but it lacked the “wow” factor you’d expect from a steakhouse. In the end, the stunning atmosphere and excellent service made it a memorable evening, even if the steak fell short of expectations. A great spot for a special occasion, especially if you're looking to soak in the festive vibes.

If you’re looking for an unforgettable steakhouse experience, Bob’s Chophouse in La Costa is the place to go. The steak? Absolutely phenomenal—easily the best I’ve ever had. Perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and melt-in-your-mouth tender. And let’s talk about that carrot—oh my God, incredible. It tastes like Thanksgiving in the best way possible, rich and perfectly seasoned. If you somehow still have room, the dessert is completely over the top and worth every bite. On top of the amazing food, the service was outstanding. Nikki was hands down one of the best servers I’ve ever had—attentive, knowledgeable, and truly made the experience top-notch. Overall, Bob’s Chophouse isn’t just a 5-star spot—it’s a 10 out of 5. If you’re in La Costa and love a great steak, this place is a must-visit.

Service got off to a rocky start- one of the younger hostesses was extremely rude and short with us. It was so bad we would have left if it wasn’t for the fact that a large group of my clients and team were eating in one of their other areas. With that said- our waiter was great, and the bartenders amazing. The food was all excellent. We tried 11 dishes over two days and none disappointed. The wine list is decent and there are definitely a couple of really decent bottles for a good price. Highly recommend checking them out. If you’re staying at the resort it’s a no brainer.
