   A bit noisy, waiter didn’t tell us about specials and forgot to give me my credit card back! Food was ok.

   Excellent food and service. Took us to a quiet place away from the bustle long enough to breath and take it all in. Exceptional place.

   The staff was very accommodating for a business lunch with 4 associates from Korea.

   Great table at the window! Good French onion soup. Sliced steak sandwich should not have been on a roll since the steak slices were too large.

   the food was way overpriced and wasn’t even that good. The staff was pushy and didn’t even thank us after spending over $500 on our party. The steaks were mediocre and I had a Chicken Parm that was dry, overcooked and not very tasty. I won’t be going back again.

   Lousy filet. Full of gristle. Pretty clear they used the ends of the tenderloin to pass off as filets. For a restaurant that sells prime beef, completely unacceptable. Pennywise pound foolish.

   The steak and salmon were the worst I think we have ever had. The sides were good, but I wondered why the restaurant was so available on a Saturday night and now I know. Was trying to show off a NY steakhouse to a visitor from France. I am literally mortified!

   Hi Caitlin, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We're truly sorry to hear that your experience with the steak and salmon was disappointing, especially when you were hoping to impress your guest. This is certainly not the standard we aim for at Bobby Van's, and I apologize for falling short. We appreciate your comments on the sides, and we’re eager to address the areas where we can improve. I’d love the opportunity to speak with you directly and make this right. Please feel free to call the restaurant at 212-957-5050 and ask for me, Granville Christian, the General Manager.

    Service was excellent. Steaks overcooked, veggies undercooked. Desserts fine. Would not recommend.
