                                                The star of our Saturday brunch was the view - fortunately it was a very nice day. We enjoyed a table at the window and really enjoyed scenery. The service was top notch, and the food was very good, although a little pricey for what it was. Still worth it.

                                                It was a little warm and humid (but it was really hot outside so maybe the AC could not do it)

                                                Robert is a wonderful restaurant, I have dined there several times Our server was very energetic, positive and informative. ONLY, on the hottest day of the year thus far, they did not have proper air conditioning. It was a problem within the building and not the restaurant, but it would have been nice to be notified prior to our arrival. It was my husband's birthday dinner and he was too uncomfortable to stay for dessert and we left early. Too bad.
