Located in New York's landmark Helmsley Building, Bobby Van's Steakhouse has been serving the best porterhouse in town for the last eleven years. Upon entering, one is greeted with the sight of a credenza groaning under the weight of large bottles of wine. A bar full of regular customers is on the left and looking into the one-hundred seat dining room, one sees the thirty foot high ceiling and windows overlooking Park Avenue. To complement our Prime Aged Steaks our Sommelier has created an award winning wine list. Whether you're looking for a big Cabernet, a Pinot Noir or something in between our comprehensive list is sure to please. "

The service was impeccable. The food was DELICOUS! The Caesar, the French onion soup, the chicken parm, the sirloin steak (NY Strip) along with French fries and AMAZING onion strings. If asked for both and they just combined them into one order. Really, really, good. I’m so glad we went to Bobby Vans! Don’t miss it in NYC!

This is my first time visiting The Original NYC location of Bobby Van's. I have dined at the Washington DC location many times, so my expectations were high. Bobby Fan's Park Avenue did not disappoint. We were greeted as old friends upon arrival, and the servers were equally welcoming. Service was quick, and the food was delicious. We had the calamari appetizer (one was more than enough for 2), the Caesar Salad, and the Porterhouse Steak for Two. The appetizer and salads arrived together (as requested), and the steak was cooked perfectly and arrived hot on a hot platter and with hot plates for us. It was melt-in-your-mouth delicious. We had a side of half and half onion rings & fries, which also was more than enough for two. All-in-all it was a wonderful experience, which I have come to expect from Bobby Van's. Five stars all the way!
