Bobby Van's Grill - DC, Washington

Originally founded in the summer of 1969 in Bridgehampton, New York, Bobby Van's Steakhouse has since expanded to nine locations throughout New York and Washington, DC. Inside each kitchen, executive chefs oversee a menu built on plates of Prime dry-aged USDA beef, fresh seafood, and organic chicken. Servers ferry dishes amid each restaurant's similar but distinctly unique decor of private dining rooms and wine rooms furnished with white tablecloths.

In Washington, DC's New York Avenue location, diners savor their lobster cocktails and veal chops amid marble columns, grand mirrors, and babbling fountains that casually ask them if they're going to finish that. The 15th Street steak house lets visitors wine and dine alfresco on the sidewalk patio, located just one block from the White House.
