About this restaurant

Good for business meals
Neighborhood gem
Good for special occasions

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."

The porterhouse steak was poorly cooked on one side and the management had no problem, taking it back and redoing it at the correct temperature. Very nice in replacing the steak.

We love Bobby Vans. Very convenient to Broadway. We went on Thursday, September 19th, before seeing a snow at MSG. I explained to the lovely hostess that we were waiting for the fourth member of our party to arrive. She let us take a great table and enjoy our drinks while waiting. We had a salad, a pizza, a burger and the mahi-mahi special. And a great bottle of red wine. Service was fantastic. We told them we had to be out by 7 to get to the show, and we were. Food was very good. Bill was 200 dollars which I thought was reasonable. It’s our go to place in Manhattan. We’ll be back!
