Incredible. The food, drinks and service were all beyond exceptional and demanded prompt return - an experience this good is hard to come by and places Petit Robert high on my list. Duck Confit, Marie Antoinette and Creme Brulee stood out as especially excellent in a dinner where everything was wildly good. Being present for multiple birthdays also just went to show - Petit Robert Bistro is a special place to go.

Wonderfully neighborhoody South End bistro. Doesn't try to hard. Never disappoints. Pocket-sized and charming. We had roasted cauliflower salad and hearty beef stew.
Stephanie
This is a local's favorite. It's so warm and cozy in the winter. The Monday Fondue was a hit!
Ann
The entire staff is very welcoming, and it's a cosy place. The food is good bistro fare, and the portions are generous. I will be back.
Cameron
Outstanding service and food, as always! Great to catch up with everyone and try the dishes—which were delicious.

We made reservations explicitly for fondu night - a type of reservation I specifically had to select. I'd think that meant we had fondu reservations and the restaurant would hold/reserve the necessary materials needed to serve us. They ran out of the fondu materials (bowls that can have an open flame under them to keep the cheese hot and melted) and served us in cast iron bowls instead. This meant the cheese got cold and hardened before it could be eaten entirely. It was a waste of $40 when we couldn't it eat any longer than five minutes after it came out. Service was also terrible. It took 25 minutes for drinks. We were in a corner and seemed to get overlooked often. I usually have good experiences with PR but this was such a disappointing joke of an experience, it will make it hard for me to want to go back.

We went on a Sunday evening and had the Steak Frites special. It was terrific! They served plenty of tender steak with a au poivre dressing; a side salad, a baguette and of course, fries; all were light and delicious. Our waiter was attentive and made a good suggestion for a red wine to go with our meal. We highly recommend this restaurant!

This was our first visit to Petit Robert and we were with two elderly friends. Initially, we were seated in a back dining room which was quite noisy. Several minutes after we were seated the hostess, kindly on your own, asked if we would like to move to a quieter table in the front room. This made our experience at the restaurant over the top very special because we are able to talk do friends, catch up and be heard! The food and service were excellent as well. Only one incident with the parking. We were parked in a resident only space which I thought was allowed on Sunday's. Apparently it was not so found a ticket on my windshield on returning. In any case, we will be returning to this restaurant. No doubt about it!

A charming little neighborhood bistro in the beautiful South End of Boston. Cozy ambiance and tasty food. This is a perfect spot if you're craving a slice of France.

Quite loud when a large group came in which made it really difficult to have a conversation.
We had drinks, Happy Hour nibbles and a full dinner here at the bar. Some of the best, most welcoming service I've had in Boston. We sat with Julien who took amazing care of us, and I think makes the best Aperol Spritz in the city. While the restaurant was packed, we sat at the bar on the other side from it, and it was amazing because it was quiet, secluded and we could talk, even on a busy night. The drinks were top notch - including the chocolate martini! - and the food was lovely too, with my favorite being the pate & rillette. Really lovely, cozy vibe and wonderful, wonderful service. We will be back!

Food was good. My eggs Bennie were a little overcooked and they were served on toast that was a bit dry/stale. Our server and the rest of the team were friendly and attentive.

Buen lugar francés para cenar. Pero el espacio es incómodo y ruidoso. Los platos son ricos, pero no todos muy generosos: el puré de papas en el boeuf bourguignon es muy poco, por ejemplo. Lo mejor, steak avec frittes, generoso, en su punto. También muy recomendable el plato de quesos. Un 4.5/5.

Went for NYE...very accommodating, got seated right when we arrived, which was early. Prix fixe menu for night, choices appropriate, food excellent. Service great. Will definitely go back!

We truly enjoyed the wonderful food and service at Petit Robert this past New Year's Eve. The prix fixe menu offered a nice mix of classic French dishes with some modern twists. Our cocktails were excellently prepared and the wine list was varied and well rounded. Our servers were very attentive, professional and friendly. A lovely time was had by all! Thank you Petit Robert and Happy New Year!
