    Salmon and Cioppino entrees were excellent. Beef Tenderloin was not as tender as expected. Cheddar chive biscuits with bacon jam were superb! Service and cocktails were great!

    Amy was fantastic, she made great recommendations the food was delicious and the vibe was nice and chill. We enjoyed the two red flights a total of 6 wines. Two of which we took bottles to go home with us. What a wonderful evening out without the kids. We will be back.

    The music was very loud. As the crowd thinned, they did not adapt even when asked repeatedly. It made it difficult to have a conversation. The food was good, but not great. I am not sure that we will return.

    The house salad was good and there is an interesting number of wines. The rest of the meal was only average, including the crab cakes and biscuits. If you like shrimp and grits--don't. My husband said it tasted like a few shrimp on creme if wheat. Very bland.

    Hi, unfortunately Robust seems a little worn. To me, the restaurant used to be a more upscale than it was last evening. Our server was really good, attentive and personable . But overall, I didn’t think the servers were dressed very appropriately . I’m not a “Karen” I swear, I was just expecting everything to LOOK a little nicer. My husband loved his cioppino and it was a good value. My Caesar was meh. Overall, we enjoyed the experience but don’t need to go back anytime soon.

    Our server was pleasant but not particularly engaging. We ordered the Robust sampler with three cheeses and three meats. For $33 it was the most paltry charcuterie plate we've ever seen. What a rip off. The person who brought it out to whom we complained brought it back out and all but dropped it on the table without a word. The bread that was served with the platter we were told would be "endless". They weren't. We had to ask for a refill and after that no more appeared. The entrees were tasty. It is a very nice varied menu, but the portions could stand to be larger.
