Horrible service & Horrible manager – This is rarely like me to give a review, especially one like this but that's how terrible the service & manager was to us last night. I know it's restaurant week staff tend to go thru the motion a little more careless but this was ridiculous. 5 different waiters and not at one did either of them say his shift was ending and who our next server would be. don't get me wrong, I know how the steakhouse service runs and I know when it's bad. If we wanted anything we had to signal to somebody ... read more
GREAT FOOD – I have eaten at all of the Bobby Vans and usually have a great experience. In fairness I did have a nice experience this time I just think the managers have a slight attitudes considering the prices you are paying. The waitstaff is good but overall the management seems as if they are doing you a favor by eating there. Very odd considering the restaurant wasn't full. I think the management should be show some appreciation for your patronage considering these tough economic times. I will be eating at the other loc... read more
Most Repulsive Restaurant I Ever Set Foot In – My atrocious dining experience began upon entering the cramped waiting area. The throng of people could not be passed to get to the front desk. Upon telling a host that I had a reservation for six and my name, I was told in a gruff and aggressive tone that I would have to wait because "it is Christmas season" and "I have a lot of people ahead you." This is why I made a reservation. After waiting for 30 minutes for my table I approached the same man and was subsequently ignored w... read more
Be careful with this place – Not worth the money. Raviolis where regular. 6 small Raviolis for more than $20.00?? The Filet Mignon was nothing special, smaller than expected. The Lasagna too salty. Service was Ok. Not recommended.
Normal steakhouse but there are a lot of choices in the neighborhood – Bobby Van's meets the expectations for a NY steakhouse. The service was nice and attentive. The decor was mostly wood and classical. The meal was pleasant. However, there was nothing in the dining experience to make it memorable. Ben Benson's, Smith and Wollensky, and even Ruth Chris made a slightly better impression. Ben Benson's and Smith and Wollensky have amazing steaks and sides. Ruth Chris has a simple yet tasty steak. Bobby Van's does not compare b... read more
Great Steakhouse Experience – My family and I had dinner here on December 20, 2006 and had a wonderful meal. The service was first class, the ambiance was dynamic and festive, and the steaks were great! My rib steak was perfectly grilled, very flavorful and juicy. But for $40.00, I'd expect nothing less. There are lots of other items on the menu, including lighter fare like pastas, burgers and pizza. The bread basket selection is one of the best anywhere, rivalling Smith & Wollensky. The bar was packed. The location, right o... read more
Worst NYC Dining Experience Ever – Made reservation and showed up .5 hr in advance. Checked 3 times for table status and each time was led to believe time would be soon. It wasn't. If up front I had been told there was to be a delay I could be more understanding. But I went from the table would be set in 15 minutes, to the diners are paying the bill, to basically I haven't got a clue as to when the table will be available. The wait service was the worst I have ever experienced in any restaurant let alone one where the bill w... read more
To Die For – My husband and I randomly stopped into Bobby Van's on a rainy night when we both had a craving for steak. We were promptly greated by a sweet hostess, and then guided to a great table with views of the street. The waiter was informed and attentive, even picking out a bottle of wine for us. Our food arrived just on time, and expertly cooked. I normally 'like' the side dish you pay $8-$12 for at other steak houses, but I can't get over the mashed potatoes at Bobby V's. Absolutely THE BEST I've ever had! I still ge... read more
One of two midtown locations of the mini chain that's popular with business folks for steak and cocktails. – In Short The suited-up inventors of the power meal are drawn in to this expense account heaven for steers with their peers. Lively business conversation booms throughout the elegant, wood-toned room as patrons consider simple offerings like shrimp scampi, lobster by the pound, crab cakes, lamb or veal chops, but they then order the giant porterhouse (the traditional favorite) anyway. The bar is convenient for after wo... read more
