The Best of the Best..!!

Review Rating
When it comes to restaurants, this chain of 4 NYC locations outshines the rest. Not only steak, but every dish they send out from the kitchen is perfect..! I can't say that about any other restaurant, this place is consistently at least 1 star above the competition.. And NO, I'm not looking for a free meal.. lol :))

Information from the business

Conveniently located just east of Park Avenue and 4 blocks north of The Waldorf-Astoria, this is where you want to be. As you walk into the restaurant you're greeted by our hosts and a large credenza filled with beautiful bottles of wine. Glancing to your left you overlook the spacious yet always occupied bar, where the bartenders know your name and have your drink waiting for you before you can even ... more

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 ... more

Lunch is for suckers.....I'm not your average BSD....ABC, you know Always Be Closing. How big is your house, car, sinep, etc. This is the typical garbage you'll hear in this place. So if you are outside the area and going here on a whim, you should know what to expect from the big bank crowd. They hang out here when they aren't jumping off bridges or buildings.

Good food, but disappointing service

I have eaten at many top restaurants in the city, including Bobby Van's downtown location, and I was deeply disappointed by the level of service my group of 6 received. Our meals were not brought out at the same time, and at no point did the server inquire about the quality of our food. An additional place setting that we did not need was removed in the middle of our dinner service. While these ... more

Stay away from Bobby!

I have never posted any negative ratings before. I feel I have to write something about this place though... Can you think of a restaurant in Manhattan with lame service and disgusting steaks for $46? Correct! This is Bobby Van's Steakhouse at 131 E. 54th street. Hostess and waiters made me feel like an invisible man... A simple steak was being cooked for 35 minutes and still served half-done! Probably ... more

Solid steakhouse with good staff. One of the best for food but experience is hampered by too tight a squeeze at your table and a din so loud that Park Avenue seems quiet by comparison.
