"This review needs a lot of clarification because we love the jazz night Thursday 7-8:30pm. However it is the worst managed affair and hasn’t changed in over a year or more. Our server was nice but whatever process they have to go through to get a drink order filled takes 20-30 minutes. Food takes even longer. When other staff comes with the drinks or food they take it to the wrong table then circle around or put it in front of the wrong guest! This is NOT a rare occurrence. They finally lit all the new cheap table candles with their thread width wicks and they all promptly burned out. One server got new candles for his three tables but the rest of the room got none. We ordered two drinks at once because we know getting second service is rare. For food I ordered their Boudin Blanc listed as Foie Gras, duck breast, parsnip purée and jus. Listed as an appetizer I expected a tiny portion of each item. What it really is, is a white (mostly parsnip) 3” quennelle shaped mousse of the ingredients. I suppose as it’s called a boudin I should have realized that, but I was sitting in the dark. The jazz starts at 7 and lasts 90 minutes. They didn’t start seating last night until 6:55pm (sometimes earlier it’s not consistent). This results in getting your drink 20 minutes or more after the jazz starts and the crazy service dance lasting all the way through the performance. There has to be a better way to handle these nights. You’d at least expect them to have table numbers and seat positions so when the drinks and food come they end up with the right person at the right table. And get quality fake candles, the servers have enough to do. On a positive note the room is lovely and intimate and when Nicole Pesce is playing piano, the jazz is wonderful though the sax was a little louder than usual last night. Also management called when my friend left her credit card so we could return to pick it up. He met us at valet, a professional touch. We keep hoping for improvement."

"Overall, the food was very good and the venue was nice and modern but the service was a bit slow and the prices were on the higher end with cocktails costing $20 each along with an automatic 20% gratuity applied. There was an empty hostess stand when we 1st arrived but after asking the bar they advised us that the hostess was on the other end of the restaurant (the hotel side). Our server was pleasant and made good recommendations, but there was a long lag between our courses, and he did not come back to our table for quite awhile after we received our entrees. We had the Hamachi Crudo and Scallops to start, and both were delicious. The scallops were buttery and the Hamachi crudo was light and flavorful. For entrees, we had the Cacio e Pepe with shrimp added and the Steak and Frites. The Steak and Frites had very nice flavor and I was satisfied with the Cacio e Pepe as well. The Wake and Bake cocktail was very comforting and a perfect fall drink if you like apples and the smokiness of mezcal. We ended with the Na'Nu and Make a Wish. They were okay desserts, but I was not really impressed with either one. I am glad we tried them out, but I'm not sure if I'll revisit given the prices and lack of attentive service. We might consider giving them another shot in the future because the food was very good for the most part. It's frustrating that the gratuity is already added because I didn't feel like the service was worth 20% but I guess they don't have to try as hard when they know they are getting 20% automatically."

"I am writing this review and still in shock and unable to process what happen on last Friday night at our party. Everything was great, food, service, etc. All my friends had a great time until, I assume, it was the restaurant 's manager, came to one of our guests Mark and very rudely demanded that he paid $80 cover charge for drinking alcohol from the water bottle he brought with him. Mark NEVER drinks hard liquor only wine which is what he ordered that night as always. His wife wasn 't feeling well didn 't drink at all! The manager came to them directly, threw an empty water bottle on the table calming he has a video of Mark throwing this bottle in the trash outside of the restaurant!!! This video he showed us had NO image of Mark carrying a bottle in his hands! In any case, the manager 's rudeness, unprofessionalism in the way he handled the situation was outrages. He was yelling and screaming at us, telling us he will call the police. Even if he had a reason which he DID NOT! this situation could have been handled discretely. Instead, he escalated the situation to the point that Mark, his wife and most of our guests were in the verge of tears! All of my friends at the party came to America about 35 years ago, all have successful careers. We all speak Russian, but all immigrated from Ukraine. I don 't know if this person had something against us, but it sure felt like he made personal. We never felt so humiliated and discriminated like we did last night! I was the responsible for any additional charges/issues for the party and they confirmed that with me before the party started. We had multiple birthday parties at Bobby 's before and I was astonished how we were treated for just a pitiful amount of money $80 when we spent way over $1000 that night! Instead of having a great memory of this special evening of my husband 65th birthday all we will remember is the way we were treated and humiliated at the end. It 's a shame! We always enjoy Bobby 's, but after this incident none of us and anyone we know will dine in Bobby 's Deerfield again."
