Wonderful experience. Had the sirloin special; crab meat with a Holdan. sauce. Wne was perfect. Our server was right on except a little slow on water refills. Afterwork gentleman's club theme.

Great steakhouse. Not only was the food exceptional but the customer service was the best I have ever experienced. Dan, the manager, and our waiter made our experience unforgettable. We will be back when we visit again.

My favorite NYC steakhouse. Great food , great service, great wine list. It has an amazing atmosphere for a great lunch with clients or a nice place for dinner with friends or family. Bar is also cozy if you are just popping in for a drink with friends. Highly recommend you give it a try

One of my local haunts. The bartenders memory is better than writing it in scripture. Great atmosphere, good steakhouse food, and some of the best bartending/hospitality in the city. I frequent at least once a week. Would recommend to anyone. Bit pricy, but you get what you pay for.

We enjoyed our Christmas dinner we had the lamb shank with Rossi to. My husband had rabbit. It was very tasty both items. The wait staff very professional. We complement the chef. The wine was delicious. Nice relaxing atmosphere. Wish we had restaurant in Barrie Ontario Canada.

We been there around 3 o’clock was very quiet. Excellent service and very good quality meat. We enjoy our food and the environment.

It was the first time we had been to this particular Bobby Vans. We always loved the Times Square one but we decided to venture out and try this one. A much more local vibe. Tom was a great bartender and the food was top notch as expected. We will definitely come back.

I love this place very much! My father has been taking me here since I was a kid. The food is on point, waiters/bartenders are friendly, and Danny runs an efficient restaurant. Only problem is I made a reservation for 2 just now and the lady who answered the phone was extremely rude. I asked her a quick question and in the middle of my question she replies "yeah you're all set, bye" and hung up immediately. I didn't like that. So whoever the woman is that answers the phone on Tuesday nights needs to show some respect. Other than that, everything else is 10/10.

Steak was EXCELLENT. Veal meatballs were EXCELLENT. We had 4 waiters, other than our own, constantly attentive to making sure our glasses were full. It was old school high level service. I'd come back here anytime.

Advance booking recommended. Great ambience and service. Heavy on the pocket

One of the best steak houses in New York City. Long standing and rich with history. Good for afternoon business lunches, romantic evenings, family dinners or special group events. Do not miss out on the slab bacon appetizer or the steak with blue cheese. Coat check also available during the winter.

One of the greatest lunch I had, 3 of us we had lamb chop from Colorado I have not word how to describe how great was that dish. Cooked to perfection, nice and juicy. We had salads to start it was perfect size. The wine list it is absolutely amazing, we had Brunello di Montalcino Cinelli Colombini. Perfect with our food. Sure attentive severs, great cocktails at the bar with a gentleman from the old country Irland. If you have chance try this restaurant it is something that you ll love.

Once I took clients to Bobby Van's for the first time I have never had a steak from anywhere else since. The staff makes you feel completely at home. The bar and wait staff are the most professional I have encountered at any restaurant both here and abroad. While other steakhouses have resorted to buying lesser quality meat during the recession, Bobby Van's continues to serve the best quality beef, but I dont take their word for it, I can taste it. I would highly recommend Bobby Vans. I have been to most of their locations and the same great service and food can be had at any one.

As always. Top quality steak house

Always a top-notch experience, whether for a business lunch, or quick bite and drink. Staff is super-welcoming and Always know your name.

Started with the crab cake which just melted in my mouth. As expected, steak was done perfectly. However, I wasn't a fan of the steak sauce provided, just didn't hit my palate. Ordered truffle and parmesan fries which were delectable and had a sea salt caramel Gelato for dessert. It was out of this world.

Our waiter was very very helpful. Asked for warm water as I had a sore throat. He also got honey and camomile tea as well of his own accord. Very thoughtful and appreciated

Best crab cake appetizer ever! Filet Oscar equal or better than any other Impeccable, friendly service. Ask for Lauren at the bar. Personable, highly efficient, able to juggle many requests at once.

Best steak in Manhattan!!! My boyfriend and I came in tonight, and despite being packed they squeezed us in for his birthday. Everyone here is so nice and the steak is 100000x better than all the other places we’ve tried in the city. Thank you Bobby Van’s!!

Had an amazing time and the food was delicious. We were a party of 6 celebrating our friend’s birthday. Kelly was our server and she went above and beyond with her service. She is a true asset to this establishment. Everyone was truly accommodating and made our night enjoyable and memorable. It also didn’t hurt that the steaks were on point!

Amazing steak, love the sear and dry aged sirloin & bone-in ribeye. Good appetizers.

Came here with a Groupon dinner for two. The selection was great for a pre fixe menu and the food was excellent.

Bobby vans never disappoint it's always my go to place .and I recommend it to all my friend and family and the service by shabir outstanding weather it's a casual night out or special occasion. We always have amazing time most recently we had a blast

An Amazing NYC style steakhouse. One of the best dry age steaks you will get in the city. If you truly love dry age, you need try this one of the Bobby Vans

Since I had eaten here a few years ago and was not overly impressed, I was somewhat reluctant to return. However, I decided to try it again with a friend and see if things had changed. Fortunately, it turned out to be a very positive dining experience. The food we had included filet mignon, which was cooked just as requested and was excellent, and chicken parmesan which was very good. I had lobster bisque to start, which was absolutely delicious. The service was excellent and we felt comfortable sitting a little longer with our coffee and conversation. Overall, an excellent experience. The one suggestion I would make, as an older customer, is some accommodation to be able to avoid several steps getting to the dining room. I personally didn’t have too much trouble with that, but it may be a discouraging factor for others.

Wow this place is a gem, I got in from a long flight and decided to eat somewhere nearby my hotel so I picked Bobby Van’s. I was really impressed, I tried their calamari with sweet pepper sauce and had the scallops that came on top of delicious mashed potatoes. It was so comforting and everything was seasoned well, it makes me wanna go back tomorrow and try more things! I will definitely be coming back the next time I’m in NYC!

I’ve been here dozens of times and it is always great. Whether sitting at the bar for lunch or dinner I. The dining room staff, food, ambiance always top notch. As other steakhouses have fallen off this BV locations have kept the highest of standards.

We had the most amazing experience at this location of Bobby Van's, which we view as 'the norm' for all their restaurants we've visited. We've been to at least three locations, and as out-of-state visitors on short trips, this should illustrate how excellent they are. You can count on superior, attentive service, with every detail in place. They will check to see where you are on your food pacing before they bring you the next course, without intrusively grabbing plates and 'cleaning' as they go. Somehow, they do everything fluidly, and never put the burden on their diners for any aspect of the experience. (Examples: at other places, servers freak out when there isn't a lot of room at the table; they start to make you - the diner - shuffle/consolidate food, especially if you are still working on the other portions of food - - which we do because I'm a slow eater and we order a lot a la carte.) The servers - all of them - are friendly, engaged, charming, and know when to come/go. I detest constant check-ins, and BV's doesn't do that at all. If I could give 10 stars, I would. We loved this restaurant so much that we went to another location the next night - our last night - and we had an amazing time there too! The food was all excellent, high-quality; the featured fish of the day was perfect and I loved the beet salad. We LOVED the daily soup, gazpacho, which was so fresh and tasty. So perfect! Thanks to Lin the server for his excellent service.

A classic steakhouse. The strip was very good, though not the best I've had, and in a place like this, at these prices, you'd expect something closer to that. The salad and hashbrowns were fine.

This place is a hidden gem! Stepping into Bobby Vans 54th st in New York City, you immediately sense that you’re in for a special evening. Nestled in the heart of Manhattan, this establishment seamlessly combines classic elegance with modern sophistication, creating an ambiance that is both welcoming and luxurious. From the moment you are greeted by Dan , the GM, it’s clear that service is a top priority here. The waitstaff is knowledgeable, friendly, and eager to make recommendations, ensuring that every aspect of your dining experience is exceptional. The menu is a dream come true for both carnivore and omnivore alike . Featuring a selection of prime cuts that are expertly prepared, each steak is cooked to perfection, boasting a rich, buttery texture and a flavor that is unparalleled. The bone-in ribeye, in particular, stands out—succulent, perfectly marbled, and grilled to a flawless medium-rare. But it’s not just the steaks that shine. The sides are equally impressive. The truffle mac and cheese is decadently creamy, with just the right amount of earthy truffle essence. The sautéed spinach, seasoned to perfection, provides a delightful balance to the richness of the main courses. The wine list is extensive, offering a variety of options to complement every dish. The sommelier’s suggestions are spot on, enhancing the flavors of the meal and elevating the overall dining experience. Dessert at Bobby Van’s is a must. The key lime pie with its sweet decadence , is a perfect ending to the meal. Paired with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream, it’s a symphony of textures and flavors that leaves you wanting more. In a city known for its dining options, BBV’s 54th stands out as a premier destination for steak lovers. The combination of impeccable service, outstanding cuisine, and a refined atmosphere makes it a place you’ll want to return to again and again. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply indulging in a night out, this hot spot offers an unforgettable dining experience that captures the very essence of New York City’s culinary excellence.

Went there for dinner as a special birthday treat. Restaurant beautiful, clean and well maintained. Staff were all friendly and we were made very comfortable. Excellent service! Food was incredible. Found a new red wine (Arrowood) that I love! Stand out offerings: Veal Meatballs and Skirt Steak. The staff and owner made our night out special. Thank you for a great time! I can't wait to go there again!

I (we -- my company) absolutely loves Bobby Van's. The food, service and atmosphere never disappoint...always consistent. We arranged a work event here and it was a huge success! We were treated like family and the staff was extremely attentive to our guests. The food was excellent and everyone commented afterwards that it was an excellent choice. We plan to do all our work events here. It's also great if you want to do a presentation or run a video because they have a smart TV and microphone all ready to go and they set up all that for you! Thanks Bobby Van's! You are awesome! Great job!

Great steakhouse experience in a lovely atmosphere.

When you think of a steakhouse, this is it! Great ambiance, service, and of course the Chops!

Great food and service. Held a private event here and the events coordinator and manager deserve great credit for being incredibly accommodating all the way through and had no issues with day of menu changes. Very welcoming and professional staff and the quality of meat selections as well as vegetarian options was impeccable. We had about 40 people and everyone left satisfied and stuffed.

Visited for a birthday dinner and the service was top notch. They kept our wine and water glasses full; we never needed to ask for anything. The food was great, ordered the soup of the day and mixed green salad. The manager/owner was there and made sure the birthday celebration was special! Thank you!

People here served so nice! Many of the restaurants fans here!

Last night I hosted a 30 person dinner at Bobby Vans on 54th Street and it could not have gone better! Danny, Chris, Marco, Victor, and Juri were incredible! My guests were blown away by how accommodating and on point they were. I highly recommend for anyone looking for friendly staff, amazing food, and a great experience!

Service was great and steaks were amazing, the atmosphere was fantastic will be back one day when we are back in NYC from downunder

One of the best steakhouses I have been to in US. Awesome steak, big portions and attentive service

Very nice restaurant. Our service was exceptional, the atmosphere is inviting and tastefully decorated. Highly recommend the Braised Short Ribs with Mushroom Risotto - it's absolutely wonderful.

The food was great. I ate my steak before I could take a picture. The service was very friendly.

One of Midtown Manhattan's top dining spots, Bobby Vans is known for their excellent cuisine and top-notch presentation.

Ted Worrell

My wife and I went to Bobby Vans on 54th street for a night in the city and had the most incredible time! The cocktails were perfectly balanced and the wine program even better. We had the porterhouse as the main event and it was cooked to perfection, came out sizzling and was quite an event…Overall the best part had to be the service from the GM, Tom. He was attentive, checked in and shared the history of the restaurant and building with us….Certainly be back!

Sighting Sarah

Great food! Great service! We came for a business meeting. Was perfect! Lots of cool decor and that old NYC style steak house we loved it.

Johnny Walker

A must go to! Bobby Van’s is an incredible venue and dinning experience. The restaurant layout is fun plus welcoming amidst a comfortable ambiance and decor. Stellar bar seating with a wonderful array of unique various wines, top notch spirit, beer and truly something for everyone. Dan the managing partner is the man, he was kind, passionate and extremely accommodating. It’s an overall pro staff with pleasant service and liveliness. Josh our server was incredible. The food menu has all the comforts you’d want and more, the entire kitchen team drives the culinary experience at an elevated level. I enjoyed the Short Rib with Mushroom Risotto and it was delicious. Really a dialed array of food options. Please come support this one of a kind spot. Cheers!

As always never a disappointment Service was great food was amazing can't say enough about Bobby Vans

Sadiel Serrano

We came visiting from Miami, staying on the city for a few days and decided it to give it a try, and I had to say that we loved it, Oscar our server was amazing, the food was delicious, I recommend the colosal crab cocktail, the Toasted Parmesan Gnocchi, and the Chilean Seabass, everything was perfect

Peter

It's always such a great pleasure to sit down for dinner in a proper New York steakhouse, which this place truly is. Speedy and friendly service, great appetisers, and a perfectly cooked sirloin. What else could one desire.....

Andre Marques

Everything so good. Spotless place to go with your family or by yourself. Best Burguer I have tried in Nyc. 100% recommended.

Andrés Berl

Great steak house plus! Delicious and ample menu, with great service and a cool classic setting Worth trying

Lina Stef

I’m a huge fan of Bobby’s. Tom is a great sommelier. I had a lovely girl’s dinner with my friends and the waiters gave us treats, excellent service, and atmosphere

I have been to three Bobby Van's steakhouse locations in the city over the years and have always had consistently good experiences at any of the locations that we have visited. Today was no exception. The steak salad, as usual, was excellent, and so was the service!

My husband and I went for date night. Extremely professional customer service. Our dinner was extremely good and the wine I had was extremely excellent crisp and clean Kevin and I are definitely coming back to this restaurant. I'm so sorry that I don't remember our server's name but hat's off to him. Very happy customer's. Timisha and Kevin

Manny Sergentakis

Great tasty food in a pleasant atmosphere. We had a delicious three course meal with an alcoholic beverage in Manhattan without spending a fortune. Bobby Van's is a well run restaurant with professional staff. I highly recommend this restaurant. I will definitely be back soon.

Alistair Lattimore

Visited Bobby Van’s and had an amazing evening with my wife and teenage kids! We ordered Applewood smoked bacon for an appetizer, it has wrecked all other bacon - highly recommend. For main meals we ordered steak filet, salmon & chicken with roasted vegetables, broccoli and fries, all cooked wonderfully. For dessert a crème brûlée, key lime pie and chocolate cake - delicious. Costs were about $350 for four, plus tax and tip put it at ~$450. Service was fantastic, all round a wonderful dinner experience and would recommend.

Raymond Torres

One of the BEST NYC Steakhouse experiences. Great service, delicious food, and wonderful atmosphere. Highly recommended for a lovely date night or classy dinner with the group!

Jayant Kripalani

This is amongst the best steakhouses I have eaten at. The Filet Mignon is simply amazing. They have a fantastic selection of wines as well to go along with the high quality food. The staff are very professional, I had a corporate lunch event held here and they did a great job all round from food quality, service, everything was superb. I plan to come here more often for sure!

Substantial appetizer, entree and wine choices on Groupon's weekend prix fixe menu. Good service, appetizers and entrees. The thick cut bacon was thicker than I envisioned, and sides could be more impressive. Bread came warm, but butter was cold. The marinated steak entree is marinated with soy sauce, so I'd opt for the filet mignon if I go again.

Very nice place with good food. Went for restaurant week. The staff was friendly and attentive. The food in ny opinion is extreamly expensive for what they serve thats the only reason for the 4 stars. I have been in many steakhouses and find some less expensive to be as good but not to take anything away from this one. The food and atmosphere overall was excellent.

The French Onion Soup was delish. Steak was cooked perfect by a skilled someone for sure. The marinade was a bit strong, but ok. Nice service by professional waitstaff. Mixed Drinks were particularly expensive, even for NYC. We 4, enjoyed the experience.

Classic NY steak house. Typical wood panel dark decor. The decent sized separate bar area gets a post work business crowd in addition to those waiting to be seated. The dining room is spacious, You don't feel cramped. The room is noisy but not overly so. The menu is pretty strait forward steaks fish and sides. All are done well. The wine list is extensive but reasonably priced options are few.

A Home Away from Home at Bobby Van's If there's one place that captures the heart and soul of New York City, it's Bobby Van's. This isn't just a restaurant, it's an experience. From the moment you step in, you're not just a customer, you're family. The salads are fresh and crisp, a perfect start to your meal. But the real star of the show is the steaks. Cooked to perfection, they melt in your mouth and leave you wanting more. Each bite is a testament to the culinary expertise that Bobby Van's brings to the table. But what truly sets Bobby Van's apart is the atmosphere. If NYC had its version of the bar CHEER’s in Boston, Bobby Van's would place high in the consideration set. The staff and servers go above and beyond to make you feel at home, whether you're a local or just passing through town. Whether you're in the airport at JFK, DC, east side or west side, and Bridgehampton on Long Island, you can count on Bobby Van's to deliver a dining experience that's memorable. It's not just a meal, it's a feeling of gratification for making a choice that you feel good about. And, that's what keeps me coming back to Bobby Van's. I recall the Wall Street location and I know many miss it today. From Traders to the folks at the NYSE, it was a favorite spot among Wall Street Streeters. Who recalls Art Cashin, the Director of Floor Operations for my former firm, UBS Financial Services? Art loved Bobby Van’s at the market close. If Bobby Van’s makes a comeback in FIDI, many will be happy and my guess is that Art will be too. Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

I came here for restaurant week lunch. I had the escargot, filet mignon medallions, and chocolate mousse cake. The food was really good, the steak was medium rare just as I ordered it. The service was great as well, my water was refilled even before the halfway mark. Also, there were many servers and waiters even though it was after the lunch rush.

Dinner was wonderful. The food was extremely tasty. I had the Porterhouse steak medium well. It was very juicy. The ambiance of the restaurant was warm and enticing. The staff was very friendly.

Fantastic Steakhouse in Midtown East. A colleague of mine visited me and he took me out to lunch. I suggested this place, since I have not been to a Steakhouse in awhile. Called ahead and put in a reservation for lunch (just in case) and walked over. The interior is very nice. There's a bar upon entering the establishment on the left and the main dining room next to it in the back. We were sat down and nicely accommodated. While we chatted, we waited on someone to come and take our order. After about 8 minutes, our drinks order was taken and bread options were placed on the table along with a spread for them. They were awesome. Either I was very hungry or they know how to pick out the best breat and breadsticks to nibble on before your meal. I saw a special on the wall and asked about it. It's called the Tomahawk Ribeye. It's about 2.5 pounds of ribeye steak with a side. Great for sharing with someone else. But I was greedy and ordered it for myself. I chose mashed potatoes as the side and added broccoli to compliment the meal. After about 15 minutes, the meal came out. I was shocked. The steak is HUGE. But I was hungry and started on it. The steak was so soft and moist and worth every bite. The mashed potatoes they offer were delicious ,as well as the gravy that came with it. The broccoli was steamed and a nice add-on as well. After about 30 minutes, I gave in. I took the rest of my steak and broccoli to take home. At home it was also great and enjoyed the taste even more. The place lost 1 star only based that it was lunchtime and it took awhile to get our orders in and have the meal served as well, but in the end I would understand considering I ordered a huge steak and wanted it cooked medium well. The food is top notch. If you are in Midtown East, just stop here and enjoy a winning ribeye.

I guess everyone knows how good Bobby Vans is. Whether you are ordering steaks or some other dish

Attended a work dinner for about 15 people. Private room- great service. The Chilean sea bass was cooked well and had a light sauce. The seafood tower was impressive to look at but the lobster was over cooked. The shrimp were good sized but also a bit over cooked. One of the guests had a filet and lobster- huge portions. Would eat here again.

I went with a group of people, so I was able to try a variety of dishes. The Sweet Chili Calamari was excellent. Salad was very good. The side order of bacon was gluttonous, but fantastic. Tomato and Mozzarella was also nice. The steaks were obviously good, but not incredible. All in all, I was quite happy with the dinner. Our service was very helpful and friendly, which is not always the norm for a NYC restaurant.

Terrific steaks. Biggest baked potato I've ever seen! Good atmosphere. Service was good. Some typical waiter's malaise at busy NYC restaurants until after a good tip (which is a little late). The bar can be a bit loud with after work drinks.

I wanted something substantial, but wasn't quite in the mood for a steak. I got the pork chops instead. They were huge. They were served bone-in and cooked to perfection. I say they, because there were two chops, and each were probably an inch and 1/2 thick. The service was friendly and attentive and I was seated rather quickly. The mash potatoes I ordered on the side were great as well. I have to reiterate the portions were enormous, so I ended up taking half the meal home with me. The restaurant was relatively active, and looked like a rather good spot to get after work drinks at the bar.

I was in New York last month and my aunt took me here. Great place we enjoyed it. The service was outstanding.

Nice place, has small bar area, but comfortable, and nice adult atmosphere. Nice rooms in rear for private dinners. Food was delicious!

Paul Brick

As a long standing fan of Van's I was disappointed with the food quality and preparations. They've done better. My son enjoyed his chicken parm. My steak was under cooked and full of sinue. The cream spinach was tasty but had a consistency like glue.

Francois Jeulin

Pricey but amazing steaks. Service is a bit too pushy (but not a big surprise for NYC...) Best burger in NYC from my pint of view...

The food was great, once it finally arrived. We had our steaks served with "freekeh" (a kind of roasted green wheat) which was great. Unfortunately the breadsticks were all out of order, very annoying. I had to ask the manager to reorder the breadsticks several times so the largest are on the outside and become progressively smaller. Maybe its a small detail but I find it very offputting when such a basic courtesy is ignored.

The food is definitely above average and the service is good. But the price is insane for the quality of food. Filet mignon was good but that was it. Potatoes were starchy and vegetable was soggy like they precooked then reheated for us. Wouldn't recommend or return

I find I always have a problem when I eat there. We got a 2 person Porterhouse, it was under cooked and of poor quality. I ordered a burger medium rare and got a well done burger. The Wine is expensive, the liquor is good. I go there because my client loves this place. I don't complain because I don't want to embarrass my client.

Service was not great and neither was the food. We expected better. My husband's steak was good but not spectacular and my snapper was salty. Waiter and manager did not check on us even after a super long wait for our entree. They didn't care.

Another standard nyc steak house. What can I say? Leather seats, steak and oysters. Same old same old.

Wouldn’t rush back since they screwed up the appetizers. Since when does a teenager boy order a Cesar Salad when the menu clearly has deep fried calamari. Mains came and the beef rib was so salty it was inedible. Steaks cooked to correct doneneas but where is the crust? Clearly the broiler was not hot enough. Unforgivable for a top steakhouse Desserts were A-OK Simple and well made.

Service was fantastic! Food was a little lackluster. Sweet chili calamari was excellent. Dry age ribeye was just okay. Not in the category of better ones I've had. Petite filet similarly bland. Sides were very good

Great host at the door, great table and staff. The drinks were good. Expected a great steak for the price and it was "meh" at best. Even the sides lacked real flavor.

BRYAN580 1738

Eh! Staff on point, appetizers good. Got the special, prim rib which was $86. Thin cut loaded with fat. Rip off!

The Green Team

Great atmosphere. Mediocre food at best. Food was very bland and not flavorful. Proportions were small. Had strip steak and lobster ravioli and both weren’t up to my expectations for this restaurant. Not worth the price.

Sharder S. Islam (dinimon)

Staff: Very friendly and took care of us during our dinner. Atmosphere: Comfortable seating, soft music playing in the background. Excellent fancy dinner atmosphere. FOOD: 1. Bang Bang Shrimp - fried shrimp doused in some sort of sauce, had some heat to it. Would recommend if you’re dining here as an appetizer. 2. Point Judith Calama - fried calamari, best item we had this night. Would recommend if you’re dining here as an appetizer. 3. Rib Eye Steak - definitely not as tender and flavorful as I’d have hoped. I asked for medium rare steak and received a medium well done steak. 4. Tiramisu, Crème Brûlée, NY Cheesecake — honestly all 3 were not so great, crème brûlée is probably the worst I’ve had in a long time. I probably wouldn’t come back here due to the quality of the food I received for the prices they charged.

We were a party of 6 on Sat. July 20th at 7:30pm. We made ressies through Open Table. We arrived to find there was NO air conditioning in the restaurant during the heatwave in NYC.Ignoring ALL of our contact info at their fingertips, Bobby Van's neglected to call and notify us there was no a/c nor did they try to accommodate our ressie in one of their many other locations. They had portable a/c's used at the bar but neglected to move them into the dining room. Upon being seated, I gulped down my iced water and after the fact noticed there was a huge, unidentifiable bug in my iced water - I suggested to the waiter that he provide me with an alcoholic beverage to kill whatever germs/bacteria I just ingested. We got past that and sat through the rest of our meal with sweat literally pouring down our bodies. My husband had to leave the table to go into the bathroom, take off his shirt and DRY IT under the hand dryer!!! Our waiter was pleasant and kept telling us that the a/c would be fixed any moment which is why we stayed however, I sat through the meal with sweat literally dripping off my forehead, down my chest and left the restaurant completely soaked from head to toe. No, we did NOT stay for dessert!!! I've been to all the best steakhouses in NY, Brooklyn and Long Island. Most restaurants on LI are my clients. I know the executive chefs and restauranteurs and have NEVER experienced anything like this. While I'm reading this I can't believe we just didn't leave the restaurant but these plans were with old friends from NY, LI and NJ, 6 weeks in the making and it was a Saturday night in NYC - where could we possible get a last minute ressie?! My biggest complaint is that the manager did absolutely NOTHING to acknowledge our discomfort or our displeasure. He avoided us like the plague - never came to the table, never acknowledged the situation, never apologized - simply put, he was just happy to have the business! And with a table of 6, drinking, ordering apps and $50 steaks, he did us and Bobby Van's a huge DISservice! Shame on you!!!

We ordered marinated skirt steak, and lobster ravioli. The marinade tasted bad on the fatty steak that half was inedible. The lobster ravioli had no taste, had no filling, and was limited to four tiny pastas. The entrees took an hour and a half to reach our table, and the entire terrible experience lasted the. Our waiter never asked how our food was, never offer more refreshments.We told him that the steak was no good, he did not care and didn't want to even listen After desert he vanished. After a half hour of just waiting, i asked a different waiter to get or check.

Rancid staff , rude management and ownership , not sanitary leave butter out over night stay away !

Salad was good. However we ordered 2 ribeyes and both were fairly tasteless. I know that their prices are not quite as high as other steak houses but still high and I guess you get what you pay for. Service was very good and they made us feel very comfortable. This was our first time eating indoors in over a year and it felt good. But the steaks were really dissapointing.
