    Robert is a winner. It's a beautiful setting with a great view of Central Park and Columbus Circle (from the window seats anyway). Lunch on a Monday was terrific, excellent burrata, tasty salmon, and delectable cheesecake. Staff was helpful and polite and very solicitous. Great all around!

    We enjoy Robert for the upscale, hip vibe and their inventive, tasty menu. Among the hits we had were the porkchop (grilled perfectly, with a delicious yucca pure) and branzino (meaty, flavorful), and lemon risotto (subtile flavors, rich but not heavy). The miss was the spring minstrone, which was more of a pea soup (might have been better chilled?). Our server was friendly, helpful, and honest with his good recommendations. When we ordered ice cream for dessert, he threw in a complementary serving of the chef's specialty lavender and pistachio ice cream which was delicious and a lovely gesture.
