About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for business meals
  • Charming
The combination of a traditional American grill combined with the classic elements of a first-rate steak house best describes Bobby Van’s fourth New York City location. Run by the same four partners who have been awarded Tom Horan’s American Top Ten Steakhouses in each of the past three years, the Grill caters to those seeking the legendary Bobby Van’s Porterhouse as well as lighter dishes such as pastas, salads and fish. All served with the renowned service that has been Bobby Van’s hallmark from its beginnings in 1969. As partner Joseph Hickey said “We’re all about pure, unadulterated customer happiness."

    Incredible service and lovely traditional, NYC steakhouse ambiance. The Colorado lamb chops and lobster Mac & cheese were the stars of the meal, along with a superb Manhattan to drink. Perfectly on point for the upscale dinner we were looking for on our visit!

    Bone in sirloin was adequate, but I was hoping for more; excellent service and the best broccoli in town!

    Dear Mitchell, Thank you for your review and for dining with us. I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the service and that the broccoli stood out—our team will love hearing that!

We appreciate your support and hope to have the chance to impress you even more on your next visit. Best, Granville Christian Managing Partner, Bobby Van’s Grill

    Noise level was intolerable. There needs to be more of a barrier between the bar and the restaurant. As it is, the patrons in the restaurant area had to shout to be heard over the bar crowd. Maybe go for lunch without the drinkers coming after work.
    Bobby Van's Grill - 50th StreetResponded on April 16, 2025
    Dear Victor, Thank you for your honest feedback. I'm sorry to hear that the noise level from the bar impacted your dining experience. We understand how important a comfortable atmosphere is and will certainly take your suggestion into consideration as we explore ways to improve the separation between the bar and dining areas. We appreciate your recommendation to try us for lunch, and we hope to welcome you back for a more relaxing experience. Best, Granville Christian Managing Partner, Bobby Van’s Grill

    Food was great, tasty, well prepared and presented. The ambiance was overall fine, but dominated by a really loud table. Several patrons commented on the loudness, and instead of the staff calling out those who were disturbing us, we were asked if we wanted to move. Why should we move when we're not the ones disturbing the moment? This should have been handled differently.
    Bobby Van's Grill - 50th StreetResponded on April 16, 2025
    Dear Leroy, Thank you for your thoughtful feedback. I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the food and presentation, but I sincerely apologize that your experience was disrupted by a loud table. You're absolutely right—guests who are not causing a disturbance should not be the ones asked to move. We will use your comments as a training opportunity to better handle these situations in the future and ensure a more respectful and comfortable environment for all our guests. We appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back for a more seamless experience. Best, Granville Christian Managing Partner, Bobby Van’s Grill

    Bobby Van’s never disappoints! We got in early on a Saturday afternoon. They are usually not open for lunch but accommodated us even though we were the only party dining! The hostess, Nicole, was welcoming and courteous. Our server, Marco, demonstrated top-notch hospitality, was prompt and serviced with a smile . The food was delectable, every dish we tried was cooked and executed so well, and kudos to bar tender for inspiring cocktails. Amazing experience, we will be back soon

    Dear Kumaran, Thank you for the incredible review! We’re honored that you chose to dine with us and thrilled to hear that your experience was exceptional from start to finish. I’m so glad Nicole made you feel welcome and that Marco delivered top-notch service with a smile. We'll also be sure to pass your compliments along to our culinary and bar teams. We truly appreciate your kind words and look forward to welcoming you back soon! Best, Granville Christian Managing Partner, Bobby Van’s Grill

    Terrific reliable place for a business lunch or special occasion. The steaks are always really good and always cooked to requested doneness. My most recent sirloin was exceptional. My colleagues reported their steak sandwich and pasta were also very good. Service is good, even for a table of all women (!) Highly recommended, especially if you are on an expense account or splurging for a special occasion.
