    We have been to Petit Robert Bistro many times over the years. Last night, however, we were disappointed. The food was good but not outstanding, and the noise in particular was much too loud. It made for a hard-to-enjoy dinner.

    I love this restaurant. Easier to hear at lunch when it’s usually less crowded, but lovely food, lovely waitstaff, and a lovely place for a date. Oh, a date… chance would be a fine thing…

    After waiting ten minutes to be greeted which we were ok with since it was Mother’s Day and it’s expected to be busy, the waitress greeted us with a curt “can I help you?” And went down from there. She couldn’t have been more rude it was like she just didn’t want to be there or be bothered. I asked for a manager and he promptly made it better by taking her away from us and giving us an excellent server Alias which thankfully salvaged the meal.

    Everything was great overall! One waffle was a bit over cooked and the halibut portion was small but they still tasted good!

    The food is amazing!! I was very impressed with the vegetarian selections on the brunch menu! I only wish the chairs had cushions.

    Restaurants that seat large groups of people need to figure out a way to either put them in a separate room or when the noise level rises find a way to tone it down …. That was the only negative for meal on Friday nite but it was a significant negative … made trying to talk to my one dinner partner difficult. Otherwise best meal I’ve had in a long time … server was new but absolutely delightful …. Will plan a return (perhaps mid-week)
