I went during Restaurant Week for lunch and it was yum! Since there was construction outside the building I was not able to see how their store front looked like. For this Bobby Van's they have many rooms/sections, one of them is a vault! Although I was not able to eat in the vault room, my area was not too shabby.
The complimentary basket of bread consisted of assorted breads and crackers. There was one that had raisins and nuts? I'm not sure what kind of bread it was but it was delicious. I would of ate more but our table ran out =(
For the appetizer I had the Caesar salad, I guess I'm a noob but I never had cheese sliced like that before and it was interesting to eat with the salad. Under all that were TWO croutons! I have to say I was disappointed at first because I didn't think there were any croutons, so it was pleasant surprise lol.
For my entree I ordered the Roast Pork Loin with banana polenta and port wine sauce. It was okay ... I'm not a banana fan and after this dish I guess I'm not a banana polenta fan. The roast pork loin was nicely cooked though, the meat was very juicy. As for the port wine sauce, it was a bit too strong for me (I'm not a sauce-y person).
I didn't order the filet mignon which had a $5 supplement charge although the menu online said that it was $10. It was a nice surprise and I wish I ordered it! I only tasted a bite but it was good. I'm not really a steak person or know much about it but I enjoyed it very much.
Now... I'm usually iffy with mousse but this chocolate mousse was just heavenly. It was so soft and so light. I LOVE crunchy stuff and on the side of the chocolate mousse, consisted of some crunch which complemented the mousse extremely well. I really enjoyed it but after a few bites I was extremely full so I decided to get it to go. Sadly it melted but I decided to eat it anyway because it was too good to waste! EVEN in it's melty state, it was delich!
Overall, I enjoyed Bobby Van's and for $33-$36 (with everything included) it was well worth it. The waitress was very aware of when we finished each course and just very attentive altogether. At the end of our meal, she even told us that they were extending restaurant week and how we should go again. I can't wait till the next one, I definitely want to go back!

What about the appetizer? D: And what'd you eat? The mousse looks delicious. Too bad it melted :(. I would've eaten the melted remains too.
I have no idea why I didn't include my appetizer and my own meal -___- ANYWAY it's all good now :) and the mousse ...SO DELICIOUS.
I wish I wasn't hungry right now. ):
