Bobby Van's Park Avenue - 'The Original'Never Let's You DownAs my luncheon guest said, everything on the menu is great. Not that we were able to put that to the test in one sitting! The tuna tartare and lemon pepper shrimp were delicious and the chicken parmegenia looked fantastic. The service can best be described as no nonsense excellence. At lunchtime, when you aren't able to necessarily linger everything happens efficiently, though you never feel you are being rushed. I have been going here as a visitor to NYC for at least 15 years and now that I live here, I am looking forward to tasting more of the menu very soon.6/6/2013 12:00:00 AMWhat can I say, Bobby Van'sWhat can I say, Bobby Van's is an institution!

Everything about the food and service is outstanding. A bit pricey, but well worth the money. A real New York experience - definitely the best of the Bobby Van chain.5/22/2013 12:00:00 AMExcellent food. Amazing portionExcellent food. Amazing portion sizes. The right touch of service.

All of the food is served at a high level with a minimal regard to excess in presentation. Simple, classic prime aged beef served as ordered, cooked to perfection. Sides excellent. I had the ribeye, superb. An associate had the seared tuna which look fantastic. Competent caesar salad if not special. Only complaint is the place is just too darn noisy! Can't have a conversation across a table of 4.5/8/2013 12:00:00 AMAlways a great place for aAlways a great place for a business meal. Steaks are their specialty and are top quality and always done exactly to perfection, but there are a wide array of alternatives like fish, lamb, pork chops, and very good salads and appetizers. Their salads are good as a lighter alternative to a big steak. Their small filet mignon is good, but not too intimidating. Side dishes are all the standard steakhouse things like creamed spinach and various potato preparations, but I am very partial to the creamed spinach. The service is very good, professional and attentive. The Bobby Van's on Park Avenue is probably their smallest one, and is a good location and a but quieter than their larger venues.5/8/2013 12:00:00 AMAll around great steakhouseLoved the hash browns and asparagus.
Ordered the Cajun rib eye. Cooked perfect but I like a rub more than a sauce.
Service was very good.4/29/2013 12:00:00 AMThe restaurant was well appointed.The restaurant was well appointed. Great service, was very attentive. This is a classic steak house and you must have the fillet. The restaurant is in the Helmsley building and has great view down park ave . Went for my birthday and they did as I requested and set aside the best table with a view. Desert is a not to be skipped, tiramisu, cream brûlée and black and white ice cream was amazing.4/18/2013 12:00:00 AMOne of the best steak placesOne of the best steak places in NYC. It's proximity to my office makes it a great spot for a powerlunch or after dinner place with clients, colleagues, or friends. White table clothes, great service and delicious steaks and lobsters. The iceberg wedge and shrimp cocktails are the best anywhere, and steak? Just as good as Luger's (let's face it, comparisons are inevitable).4/17/2013 12:00:00 AMHad a great late lunch here,Had a great late lunch here, I have eaten here for many years, the Steak is AWESOME!4/5/2013 12:00:00 AMFood is great.
