Reservation was ready when. We arrived at bit early. Service is always fantastic and today was a very enjoyable happy Spanish waiter. Very personal service going above and beyond with my friends. Very enjoyable. Had the Crepe Suzette...delightful. food has never been a anything but outstanding. Of course the pastries are also world class. Only thing that we lamented from previous visits is the fact they nolonger have a synchronized video screen to the fantastic soft jazz playing in the restaurant. Used to be entertaining to see a band play on the huge screen singing the same music as n I n playing n in the restaurant. But again a very enjoyable experience and always a highlight for our Robson fix. Highly recommended.

Exceptionally friendly and welcoming staff, excellent food, prompt service, beautiful decor and ambiance. We will certainly be back. We had the lunchtime tasting menu - like a buffet except they deliver it to your table. If their menu suits your palette, you won't do much better than this!

We had a fantastic meal. All the food was amazing, great value and we all left completely full. It was very loud where we were sitting near the stage so it made it difficult to have any conversations which was too bad. Other than that, 10/10!

The waitress was impatient when we still need time to order. The manager was nice and helpful, giving us suggestions on the choices. The oyster was fine and fresh. The octopus was great! The salmon was very soft.
