    The service was outstanding. When a nut allergy was mentioned, the complimentary dessert offering was changed to another selection that was nut free.

    Robert is one of my wife’s favorite restaurants in NYC, period. We’ve dined there 5 or 6 times, and have never been disappointed. There’s a fabulous long window that looks out on Central Park, just stunning. This visit, our waiter was Eric, and he’s a real pro. Make a reservation! You will immediately have a new favorite spot in NYC !!

    Just a wonderful dinner. First time at the Robert and we chose it based on the diversity of the menu (vegan in the group) and it did not disappoint. We were seated promptly at a nice table with views. The service was great, the food were nicely sized portions (not too big and not too small) that were well prepared. It was one of those meals where food was passed everywhere because we all liked what we had and wanted to share the experience. Well done!

    We came for the Sunday Brunch and went with the Prix Fix. It was outstanding. We also had a few of the brunch cocktail’s and were not disappointed. Piano player came on at noon, and added to the ambiance. Highly recommend!

    The food and service at Robert is always exceptional! Tonight, a friend and I went there to celebrate her birthday. Initially, we were unable to secure a table by the window facing Columbus Circle. The lovely woman at the front desk was aware of our preference and, after a few minutes at another table, was able to move us to a table very near the window. My friend and I have dietary restrictions due to food allergies, and our server could not have been more attentive and patient. We started with the Spring Minestrone soup and the Tuna Tartare. Our entrees were the Spaghetti'd Squash and the Scottish Salmon. For dessert we shared the Molten Chocolate Cake. Everything was delicious and beautifully presented! The atmosphere is serene, and the restaurant is elegant. It is the perfect dining experience!
