About this restaurant

Good for business meals
Good for groups
Neighborhood gem

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."

I was pleasantly surprised at such a great experience! The hostess was welcoming and actually read my profile and accommodated my preferences. They have a great 3 course pre-theatre deal with choices for all. Drinks were great! The food was delicious and fresh. Jeremy, the waiter was AWESOME and such a delight. The manager came by to check on our satisfaction, which added to the experience. Everyone made you feel like you mattered, which is not a given these days. I go to many Bway shows-I might have to change Bobby Van's as my new go to!

Marco was the epitome of what a good server is! We enjoyed his recommendations and his “quiet” service of making sure everything was perfect! We would highly recommend this restaurant for any occasion especially if you want to have an amazing fine dining experience. Thank you for a wonderful evening of exceptional food and service!

We had a so-so experience at Bobby Van’s Grill on 50th Street. The food was underwhelming—my husband ordered the filet, which was just okay, and I had the salmon, which was unusually fishy and disappointingly small (and I eat salmon often, so I know the difference). Dessert was a reheated brownie that lacked any real flavor or freshness. Service was average at best. Our waiter forgot to bring the bread, and when we asked about it, he insisted he had already brought it, which led to an uncomfortable back-and-forth. On the plus side, the wait time was reasonable and the ambiance was nice, but that wasn’t enough to make up for the overall experience. Unfortunately, we won’t be returning.

I truly regret that we missed the mark and would appreciate the opportunity to speak with you further. Please feel free to contact me directly at the restaurant at 212-957-5050. – Granville Christian, Managing Partner

We stopped in for an early dinner before our Broadway show. Carlos was our server and we could not have been treated better. The food was exceptional, service was on point and the ambiance was very relaxed. Overall a wonderful experience. Highly recommended.
