                                                We brought friends from out of town to Robert on Friday evening. We started with appetizers- I thought my green salad was beautifully presented and surprisingly delicious. After all, green salad is t usually remarkable. For our main dish we all had fish and everyone commented that the meal was delicious. Some of us had a cheese plate and some a sweet dessert. All was terrific. Perhaps the most memorable feature of the restaurant is the ambience, with floor to ceiling windows overlooking Columbus Circle and Central Park. The pianist and accompanying vocalist were delightful- what a wonderful background to a marvelous dinner. We will definitely be back!

                                                We had reservations for lunch. When we arrived we opted to sit in the bar/lounge area. Prix Fixe lunch, lovely Sancerre, and post birthday dessert celebration for my husband with out granddaughter. Our server was excellent. (His name started with M). Friendly and attentive. We live in the area, and come here frequently as several friends and family members have joined us in the past, and it is a favorite. Views, friendly service, and the quality of light,beautifully prepared and presented food. Sometimes in the evening it gets crowded, and service may be more “leisurely”, so don’t plan a rushed dinner.

                                                Sunday brunch was exceptional; the live music, the attentive but not intrusive service, the quality and prsentation of the food, the decore, all were terrific. For Father's Day, they even had a display of free gifts for the Dad (and their kids), an unusual and thoughtful and unexpected touch. On the expensive side for a weekend brunch, but well worth it to celebrate a special occasion. Tom Selz

                                                Classic menu in a beautiful setting. The pianist and bass player were perfect. This is one of the few places you can go and it is never too loud. The service is absolutely exquisite. My food was delicious.
