Destination-level views over Columbus Circle with polished, contemporary American cooking; great for celebrations, but window seating politics and occasional service lapses can frustrate.
Robert delivers solid A-grade performance anchored by iconic Central Park views and elegant modern design that justify its special-occasion reputation, paired with attentive, personalized service. However, inconsistent food execution—particularly with fish and occasional off-nights—prevents grade A territory, and service speed occasionally falters during peak seating. The contemporary American menu excels with standout tartare and pastas, making it a worthwhile destination for celebrations despite operational unevenness.
One caveat: Window table allocation can feel opaque; book early and confirm on arrival
