Bobby Van's Grill

"We started off with 3 appetizers.the table favorites was between the big nacho and bang bang shrimp. Actually all of them were winning! The calamari texture was winning chili sauce was what made the day. The Nacho all of it. The bang bang shrimp was just banging. The burger wasn’t as impressive because it lacked distinct flavor and juices. Next the Jamaican jerk could have had a little more shrimp other than that pretty basic. Next chicken Parmesan… the chicken was good in terms juices and flavor. The spaghetti sauce needed a little salt and pepper and more noodles to match up with the large chicken portion. The second order of chicken Parmesan felt the seasoning was lacking and chicken was dry. The salmon was cooked good but lacked seasoning. The mashed potatoes were ok and the broccolini needed seasoning. We shared the steak and crab cake. It was really good. Nice portion size. Overall we would come because of service and the fact that they can accommodate large groups. They don’t have Valet so wear your walking shoes or plan parking in advance. I love the wait staff here. I love the vibe! Classy and original!"

"This is a nice restaurant on the higher end. I had some difficulties at the beginning in having the waiters understand I needed a gluten-free dish (they brought me twice normal bread i sent away). They had day specials but I didn't dare. Eventually I had a home salad as appetizer, a seabass with shrimp, risotto and beurre blanc sauce, and a sorbet. The salad was rich and the small tomatoes were firm. The seabass was also very good. The sorbets (coconut and mango) were good but not pure (fruit, sugar and water), there was clearly something else. I investigated with the waiter but no avail. Except that service was good and welcoming. One liter of San Pellegrino which came with lime wedges (plus). All together 115$ including tip."

"This was the first place I stopped into to eat on my first night in DC. Great music in the background and great food. Great service too. I had shrimp over rice with veggies. It was delicious. My mom had the burger and fries. My said hers was also fantastic. Thanks for delicious meals."

"For our anniversary- We had a wonderful experience. Food was delicious, we were served complimentary champagne glasses to toast for the occasion and complimentary dessert. And to top it off, Mike our server was amazing. Very natural person with a beautiful sense of humor. He made me laugh so much Definitely will be back"

"My husband and I are celebrating our 2yr anniversary, and he made us reservations. This was our first visit & we loved it. We will definitely be returning. I am looking forward to celebrating my birthday here in May."
