Bobby Van's Steakhouse 50th Street

I'll start off with the food was really good, the service was slow and not attentive. We had early reservations and there may have been roughly 5 other tables when we were in the restaurant. We had fried calamari for an appetizer, this was pretty goodalthough we anticipated it being tossed in a sweet chili sauce as described on the menu but wasn't. We ordered the bone inrib-eye and their Lobster ravioli. Both were very good. The steak was cooked and seasoned perfectly. It was served with somedipping sauce but it was not needed. The ravioli was also very good and both were filling. Although the food was delicious, theservice was very slow although they had 5-7 people just standing around. It took a while to have our order taken, get drinksfrom the bar and to receive our final check. I'd go back in hopes the service was a little better.

Service and food are amazing. High on the price tag but worth it!

Nice location, food was average for the prices being charged (steak had a lot of inedible connective tissue for the price). However, the dessert (Poached Pears) was DIVINE! The service was extremely average, especially considering the prices changed.

Let’s face it, Bobby Van’s is an expensive restaurant for most people. Our food was good, but it was not great. I had a filet and for $60, I expect it to be perfect. For me, there was too much connective tissue and just a bit too much fat. My husband’s sirloin was good, but again, not great. The service was good, but I felt our waiter was a bit condescending and I did not feel welcome. Perhaps this is because we were not locals. In the positive side, the cauliflower mash was delightful and the poached pear we had for dessert was exquisite! I would probably not choose to dine here again but try another fine dining experience instead.

I came to this restaurant with my mom for dinner and had a wonderful experience. Our waiter, Arturo, was very welcoming and hospitable. Will definitely come again, especially if he is there! Highly recommend
