As an American prime steakhouse, Bob's combines comfortable elegance, a lively atmosphere, big drinks, fine wines and large cuts of the finest prime steaks, chops and seafood. Guests enjoy a luxurious, clubby setting in which to gather and enjoy a special meal.

"We have enjoyed a long and prosperous relationship with Omni Hotels and are looking forward to opening additional locations in select markets in the next few years."
