    This is a lovely restaurant that sits atop a museum in a beautiful setting overlooking Central Park. Service and food were fine. Several of our party were celebrating birthdays and received a lovely treat at the end of lunch....petit fours with candles and our names in chocolate sauce on the serving plate. A sweet experience that will probably become a birthday tradition.

    I absolutely love Robert and make it a point to dine there every time I'm in New York. The food is some of the best I've ever had. The service is absolutely on point - attentive but not overbearing. This time, we had the beet salad (outstanding and a great, light, starter), and I had to pork chop (not lying when I say it was the best I've ever had). You can't go wrong with any of their desserts. The live jazz is also lovely to listen to when dining for dinner overlooking Columbus Circle.

The food was tasty and quite reasonable for the quality and service you get. And the views of the city are the best! Be sure to include a night here on you next trip to NYC, I know I will.

The food and drinks were beautifully prepared, and we loved our window table with a beautiful view. Lastly, the live pianist greatly contributed to the elegant ambience.

    Nous avons trouvé le restaurant très classe, avec une atmosphère feutrée très intimiste, malgré le nombre de table. La décoration est magnifique. Le seul bémol est que nous n’étions pas près d’une fenêtre, comme demandé lors de la réservation que nous avons fait très tôt donc déçues de ce côté là. La table était magnifique et les plats très raffinés. Les serveurs ont été très avenants.

    This is one of my favourite restaurants for both a casual brunch with the my husband and friends, or to show to out of town guests. All told we have probably been here 25 times over the years. That said…last night we went with family friends and the service was simply terrible. Our server, a younger woman, would alternate between being welcoming to downright hostile when addressing our table. Every team member bringing food/beverages to the table (or clearing) would reach right across the table rather than coming around the column which felt intrusive. It was not a super busy night (being the night before Thanksgiving, but we felt like we were being rushed the entire meal, which also took away from the experience). Thankfully our guests didn’t notice the poor service but we certainly did and hope this isn’t the new standard at Robert.

    THough apparently short staffed during the busiest time of the evening, all the staff were friendly and most attentive. Thery would frequently, though unobstrisively, inquire if they could assist in any way. Though this particular evening the sommelier was off, our waiter was very weiil informed and even checked online resources to reserach a wine he wasn't familiar with. Extremely helpful and honest.

    Of Course the views are amazing especially when seated by or near a window facing north. The modern interior design is very esthetically pleasing. However, we found the food to be as outstanding as the views and reasonably priced with larger than average portions. Cocktails and wine selection was excellent and also reasonably priced. We enjoyed the filet mignon, halibut, beet arugula salad, tuna tartare and foie gras. Every dish was delicious andbeautifully prepared. Service was equally excellent too and our waiter was knowledgeable and friendly. Great for a romantic dinner for two, any celebration and for larger groups. Highly recommended.

One of the desserts we chose was a cheese plate. It was very tasty. Thank you for your work. We will definitely come again❤️
