Calvin was our server the past two times we dined and he consistently delivers exceptional customer service with a friendly and welcoming demeanor. He literally ran to the kitchen to ensure that I got the last of a particular entree on the menu. The food was brought out at thoughtful intervals to allow for an enjoyable dining experience; was well-presented, and delicious.

Thierry & Patricia Moity previously owned Patou Bistro in Charlotte, NC & Cafe de Bruxelles in NYC. Chef Thierry has been cooking since age 13 in some of the finest restaurants in Europe & USA. His cuisine is influenced by many traditions; Patricia comes from the northern part of France near the Belgium border, while Thierry's origins are deeply rooted in the central provinces of the country. According to Chef Thierry, “I want everyone to feel welcome in my restaurant. We are working against the stereotype that French food must be intimidating and expensive.”

Everything was worth the price. Excellent service, food was perfect and ambiance was vibrant without being too noisy. More for a special occasion than just a night out for steak though. Definitely worth a visit.

We enjoyed our evening here so much! Service & food were both top notch. The drinks were the best that we had on this trip! We could go back just for those. The dessert trio was also amazing. I’d definitely visit again if we are in the area!

Dining at Robertos is always a pleasant experience. The food is excellent and and the environment is relaxed. You mostly likely will always get a visit from the owner who will spend the time asking about and listening to your needs and feedback as well as adding to your experience. This is our go to restaurant when we just want to enjoy our meal and have have a pleasant conversation. The menu is fairly expansive with a variety of daily specials as well.
