ROBERT

Fantastic. Beyond impressed. Extremely reasonably priced for the quality of food and the location/view. Less than $100 per person with dinner, drinks and dessert. Also had gluten free bread available that was delicious.

My steak came rare I’d asked for medium but when changed it was very good. The sweets had a disappointing selection, my daughter is gluten free & only choice for her was ice cream.

Pros: Outstanding views of Central Park and Columbus Circle. Aesthetically beautiful and wonderfully decorated; fun, colorful, romantic and very intimate/private. Great service from an accommodating, friendly and professional staff. Inexpensive. Non-alcoholic options available. Free small bites for the table. Vegan, gluten free, and vegetarian options. Homemade ice cream and sorbets! Large portion sizes. Cons: No parking. Tight dining space. Limited/small menu. Food was okay/good; the braised lamb fell apart like butter, but flavor wise could have used some seasoning. The restaurant is labeled as Modern Classic American Cuisine but I struggled to find any dishes on the dinner menu that felt familiar or in this style. Ribollita: 3/5 Crab Cakes: 4/5 Brussel Sprouts: 3/5 Braised Lamb: 3/5 Scottish Salmon: 3/5 Pistachio Crème Brûlée: 2/5 Raspberry ice cream: 5/5 Overall, I enjoyed dining at Robert. I would like to return to try brunch or lunch, and I would even try dinner again; overall I think the menu was interesting, ideal for those that are looking to try something new, without bold or overwhelming flavor. I would also love to experience a musical event, which they schedule regularly!
