    Food here is always excellent, special dinners (like this) are typically outstanding. We enjoyed every course and the wine pairings were excellent.

    We love dining at Petite Robert Bistro and often ask friends visiting from out-of-town to join us. It’s a neighborhood restaurant with unique charm and continental character. Today, however, my favorite brunch entrée, eggs Benedict, came with a burnt, difficult to cut English muffin. Even a steak knife couldn’t cut the English muffin. I was very disappointed.

    It was a delicious dinner. The staff was professional and kind. It was a bit loud and the little round tables too small. It was difficult for my elderly aunt to navigate but in the end it all turned out well.
