"At Bobby Vans 54th Street, you can expect the same great service and the same great food as our other restaurants. Tucked away in another historic restaurant location, (at one time this was the hang out spot for such stars as Frank Sinatra and the rest of the Rat Pack) there is plenty of history and untold stories behind these walls, if only they could talk. Conveniently located just east of Park Avenue and 4 blocks north of The Waldorf-Astoria, this is where you want to be. As you walk into the restaurant you’re greeted by our hosts and a large credenza filled with beautiful bottles of wine. Glancing to your left you overlook the spacious yet always occupied bar, where the bartenders know your name and have your drink waiting for you before you can even say hello. Separating the bar from the dining room is a glass window so you can see all the action of other diners enjoying their meals. The dining room has the good old fashioned steakhouse style with handcrafted wood walls, and F

Great night, disappointed we had to endure ab hysterically crying baby for the duration of the dinner. Not the fault of the restaurant and staff, just selfish on the part of the parents.

Horrible service. Resentful attitude. Didn’t know the menu. The filet was good, but the rest of the food was sub-par to not good. Even the bread seemed stale. The place has fallen drastically, which is a shame. No longer a high-end place at this location.

MEH! The food was "okay/what you might expect" from an old school steakhouse, but nothing spectacular. The menus are dirty and sticky and while the service fairly was attentive, the dining room was pretty empty and the waiter was kind of rude... Especially when my girl asked for a doggie bag. The waiter actually said out loud, "Seriously?" I used to go to this place often 20 years ago, I won't be going back!

The dry-aged steak was delicious. I also got the Cesar salad and the dressing is fresh and they serve it with anchovies if you wish. Last time I was here was before the pandemic and they have not missed a beat in terms of quality.
