Close your eyes and think steakhouse, and you’ll know immediately what Bob's looks like---lots of dark wood, gleaming brass, etched glass, white tablecloths...even a cigar lounge. It's not a chain, and owner Bob Sambol is almost always manning the door, greeting the regulars who gather here. Most steakhouses charge extra for potatoes and vegetables; at Bob's, they are included in the price of the entrées. You'll find standards such as bone-in prime rib, but the menu also lists pork chops and roast duck. Bob's is justifiably renowned for its juicy rack of lamb, and you won’t go wrong with the Maryland-style crab cakes, either, as an appetizer or an entrée. The best of the greens? The sophisticated asparagus and red bell pepper salad and the hefty spinach salad. Skip the desserts and have an after-dinner Cognac in the bar instead. Bob's is especially pretty during the holidays, and the private rooms are suitable for entertaining---just make sure you reserve early.
