Four of us went there tonight for one course and a bottle of wine. We had looked up the menu on line so knew it was fairly pricey. The steaks were good, hash browns and spinach delicious and wine recommendation fine. What spoiled the experience was that our fairly attentive waiter added a $47 service charge to the bill.

A friend and I just returned from dinner at Bobby Van's Grill. After reading some of the reviews here, we were looking forward to a great dinner before the theater.

I was at this restaurant last week (22nd May) while in New York for a long weekend with 5 friends. We were fairly tired after a long day of travelling and asked the concierge in our hotel (Courtyard Marriott on 3rd Avenue) for a recommendation for dinner. He told us about this place and made a reservation for us. The... more

Firstly, there are 3 locations for Bobby Vans now in NYC, so be aware of which review you are reading. We first visited BV back in 2002 the one located near to the Wardorf Astoria and BOY OH BOY were we impressed. We had the most splendid meal. Service was impeccable. Food was supreme, ambiance great, etc. We LOVED the... more

Good place for business. Not a value play. Quality for sure. Service is better than some of the other well known steak Joints. Strip House is better for dates. more
