Neighbourhood gem

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 server was not friendly, never introduced himself; just immediately asked for drink orders. He continued to hover over us all dinner. I appreciate good service but he watched over us all dinner too much. He seemed to rush us to leave, not a relaxing meal. The steaks were good but the chopped salad was different from what we expected. It was basically, tomatoes, onions, and cheese; there was no greens. Overall, it was ok.

The biggest disappointment was the steak just had no seasoning and no flavor. The wedge was great, the wine was great, the onion rings were great. They obviously forgot to season the meat with even salt /pepper.
