   Their $55 three course dinner was worth the money for a Midtown Manhattan restaurant. Our waiter staff was attentive and helpful, as was the hostess who seated us a few minutes early of our reservations and hung our coats up. There were three of us for dinner. We all had different menu options and we all enjoyed what we ate. I will go back when in town.

   Bobby Vans is our go to restaurant in Manhattan. It’s close to everything and it’s great if you need to eat pretty quickly. We sat at the bar for drinks first. We had a martini and 2 old-fashioneds. The drinks were very good and nice pours, but at 75 dollars for the three drinks, a little high. We then had a Caesar salad, a Bobby Vans burger and a pizza with sausage. All were delicious. We also had three very nice glasses of Cabernet Sauvignon. We had to get to a show, so we only had about an hour. We told our waiter ( great young guy but forgot his name!), and he made sure everything came out quickly. Also the hostess seated us right away. Very nice also. All in all a great dinner. We’ll be back!

   Had a bad experience 1st time in a couple months ago. We were invited back by one of the managers. This manager got us a table on his day off within 1hr of us contacting him. Upon arrival we were greeted by a wonderful woman who was managing that night. She and our wait staff made sure that our experience was excellent. Food was great. We laughed with the manager repeatedly. Really happy we gave them a second chance. If you're going to a show I recommend checking this place out.

   Dear Sean, Thank you so much for your kind words and for giving us the opportunity to make things right. It was my pleasure to personally arrange your reservation and I’m so glad Karen and our team took great care of you that evening. Hearing that you enjoyed the food, the service, and even shared some laughs with us means everything. We’re grateful you gave us a second chance, and we look forward to welcoming you back again soon—especially before your next show! Best, Granville Christian Managing Partner, Bobby Van’s Grill

   This was one of the worst dining experiences ever! From the moment we arrived ( we had reservations) we were told to wait. Once we convinced the hostess that we didn’t want to sit by the door another woman “found us a seat on another room where there were MANY empty tables for 4. The floors were so sticky it was revolting. The food was awful and the service even worse. I will NEVER go back there!

   Dear Shelley, I’m very sorry to hear about your experience. What you described is far below the standards we strive for at Bobby Van’s. From the seating issue and cleanliness to the food and service, I completely understand your frustration. This is not the kind of impression we ever want to leave. Your feedback is being shared with our team so we can address these concerns immediately. If you’re open to it, I’d appreciate the chance to speak directly and make this right. Best, Granville Christian Managing Partner, Bobby Van’s Grill

   After studying many options for our night in NYC, we opted for Bobby Van's. We were extremely pleased. Very attentive and knowledgeable waiter. Excellent cocktails and excellent meals. Great ambiance and peaceful vibe. We'd definitely return. Expensive? Sure. But for that kind of menu, it was average compared to similar establishment.
