The kids got their own fancy menu. The cocktails were lovely. The service was excellent and the food outstanding! Bring crayons so the kids can draw on the paper covering the table cloth. Excellent! I look forward to going back without the kids...5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMMother's Day Brunch spotThis was my first time at Petit Robert, but I had heard good things about it and I was not disappointed---to the contrary! The servers worked as a team, supporting each other seamlessly and very professionally. The food was excellent, and we relied somewhat on the recommendations of a couple of the servers. Overall, a very pleasant experience. I would definitely recommend it and would love to return for dinner.5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMSecond time a Ravethis was our second time dining there - our first was for Easter and this was for Mothers Day.

Outstanding food, atmosphere and service. Would highly recommend it! Reasonably priced as well.4/24/2013 12:00:00 AMEnjoyable EveningWe had made a reservation and waited just a few minutes to be seated. Our waiter was very attentive and knowledgeable. The romaine salad was excellent, dressing was light and tasty. One of our party ordered the sole special and the rest of us made other entree choices which we all enjoyed. Two of us decided to share the strawberry dessert special and the other two in our party shared the bread pudding. Portion sizes for entrees and desserts were very generous. We mentioned that the two women in our group were sharing a birthday and the waiter brought 2 candles in our dessert which was very thoughtful. The room was a little loud but overall it was a very enjoyable experience and we would return.4/20/2013 12:00:00 AMVery enjoyable experience.Very enjoyable experience.

The menu is imaginative, served beautifully and divine from start to finish including the warm French bread and sweet butter. The staff is always polite and attentive, pleasant and knowledgeable, from the greeting as you walk in to the goodbye when you leave. Ample parking is available in the huge lot to the left of the restaurant and reservations are recommended. My favorite restaurant.4/13/2013 12:00:00 AMthe salmon and scallop entreesthe salmon and scallop entrees were superb. also the four little sandwich cookies for dessert. the shrimp "dumpling" with lobster sauce appetizer was unusual and not very good. service was excellent. we had a wonderful time.4/5/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat brunchI went for brunch and was pleasantly surprised. It was a busy Easter Sunday but service was great. The server was quick and attentive. I ordered the smoked salmon eggs benedict, which was delicious. The eggs were poached perfectly and went well with the salmon, making it a very well-rounded brunch meal. I tried some of the quiche which was a bit heavy on the goat cheese, but nevertheless had a great time. I recommend this place for brunch and would go again.3/31/2013 12:00:00 AMWe had the most marvelous,We had the most marvelous, enjoyable Easter Dinner at Petit Robert Bistro.

Regardless of location, the menu is the same, the quality is superb and the service is good.3/23/2013 12:00:00 AMExcellent and Consistent!I have been to PBR's many locations - many times.
The Needham location is one of my favorites!
The Sea Bass was delicious!
The bread was not up to par, and the plates were barely luke warm.
I will definitely return to PBR!3/22/2013 12:00:00 AMWe went for brunch with myWe went for brunch with my husband's parents and cousin who were in town, and it was delicious. I had the chicken crepe, which was extremely flavorful without being too heavy. Others in my party ordered the baguette french toast (I had a bite, it was so yummy!), omelets, or salads, and all were happy with their meals. My one criticism is that my 2-year-old son got his meal served LAST and was VERY antsy watching the adults get served one by one. Yes, I had brought snacks for him, but it's still hard for a kid that age to watch everyone else eat. He did, however, eat almost all of his kiddie croque monsieur and I appreciated that it was served with fries AND a side salad; so many restaurants don't serve vegetables with kids meals!3/17/2013 12:00:00 AMWe enjoyed our meal, the scallopsWe enjoyed our meal, the scallops were very tasty. Our server was very pleasant.3/4/2013 12:00:00 AMA very lovely and under-appreciatedA very lovely and under-appreciated spot with very fine food at extraordinarily reasonable prices. Their brunches are top notch and a steal. Lunch and Dinner are also excellent. Our 2 omelette dishes were quite large and superb with wonderful vegetable accoutrements, and my croque madame was fine but with the toast just slightly overdone but still really quite good.1/27/2013 12:00:00 AM
