" Visited Petit Robert for a dinner date after hearing so much about it and was excited to try their famous escargots. They did not disappoint—the flavor was outstanding! However, my coq au vin was a little bland and lacked the flavors I was anticipating. The service was prompt and friendly but I felt my meal could have been better executed. Would love to try brunch because I've heard wonderful things about that! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have to admit, I expected more from my visit to Petit Robert. While the atmosphere is charming, the food left much to be desired. I ordered the boeuf bourguignon, which was lacking depth and richness. Service was friendly but inattentive. On a positive note, my date's salmon was delightful, so at least one dish was a hit! Overall, I would give it another chance based on their brunch menu, but I wasn’t blown away by dinner. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried Petit Robert Bistro for brunch, expecting something wonderful based on recommendations. While I enjoyed the ambiance and the attentive staff, the food was underwhelming. The eggs benedict lacked proper hollandaise sauce, and the fruit side was mediocre at best. It felt like there was more emphasis on atmosphere over the food itself. Yet, it can still be a cozy spot for casual dining. " (*Curated Review*)

" What an experience at Petit Robert! If you're looking for authentic French flavor, this is your place. I had the duck confit and the flavors were exceptional, and the service was on point as well. The ambiance strikes a great chord with that Parisian touch. I would suggest going for a more off-peak time for better service, but overall, an excellent restaurant experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently had the pleasure of dining at Petit Robert Bistro, and it was quite an adventure! We started with foie gras and lamb ribs, both memorable dishes. The balance of flavors was commendable, capturing the essence of authentic French cuisine. The service, however, was hit or miss; at times, we felt forgotten during our meal. Nevertheless, the delicious food kept our spirits up. I'd suggest making reservations for weekends as it can get quite busy. I'm eager to try their dinner menu next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Petit Robert just last week and am still thinking about the fabulous French onion soup. It is simply delightful with tons of cheese on top. I noticed the service was friendly, yet there were long waits between courses—a little disappointing. The atmosphere was cozy and intimate, perfect for a date or catching up with friends. Overall, a good experience but service could use development. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a lovely experience at Petit Robert Bistro. The staff was incredibly polite, and the cafe vibe was just right. I ordered the octopus as a starter and found it exquisite. My main, coq au vin, was on the safer side in flavor, yet good overall. They were quite busy but staff managed well and I left the restaurant happy and full. Highly recommend for a consistent bistro experience! " (*Curated Review*)
