Fair, but not special. The food is standard French fare that covers the basics, but it lacks the elegance you'd expect for the price. Portions are modest and the plating is very plain. It seems to function best as a family-friendly neighborhood standby rather than a destination for a nice night out. Good if you want something safe and simple, but otherwise underwhelming.

Everything was delicious. We ordered salmon and beef bourguignon and I'd recommend both. Nice vibe, great staff.
Bill
The staff are especially welcoming. The attempt is to make you feel like it's your home go-to. Very nice.
Mary Sue
Service was good. The steak frites was just ok which was a surprise. Rather than a skirt or flank steak, the steak was a tough cut that was thicker like a sirloin. It was perfectly medium as requested but was hard to cut and chew. Sautéed mushrooms were delicious.
Maya
one of the few restaurants open on thanksgiving. food is really good and the staff is attentive.
Eunice
My dish, waffles and chicken was very good. Would have been excellent but it was Luke warm at best upon arriving. My companion loved her meal, omelette.
Colin
We've had some good food here and some so-so. Yesterday's lentil salad was penance food: healthy ingredients in a fibrous bland format. The steak was tough to cut even if a Samurai sword had been provided. The fries were no better than McDonalds'. Disappointing.
Phebe
Our waiter was friendly and efficient. Checked on us often, but not at all intrusive . We started with the smoked salmon (delicious and a generous portion to share) and then I had the mussels and my husband the mushroom ravioli. Everything was scrumptious. We were on our way to the Symphony in perfect time.A delightful evening.

Petit Robert is a nice south end restaurant. We sat at the bar the the french wine was wonderful. The food was average.

I think this place has decreased in quality compared to years ago. My partner had the stake which was a decent cut yet not tender. The biggest disappointment was the Mules Frites. Mules were sandy, hard to chew and practically cold. I understand that it is hard to compare with authentic French cuisine it self but for someone who worked and live in France for over 10years I did expected more from the restaurant regarding the food. Service was friendly but nothing beyond or exceptional. I don't regret going but it was an underwhelming experience. I find it unfortunate as this is not how I remembered it from years ago.
The food was very good although the portions of juice with the mimosa package were on the small side. Cute ambiance. We were there when it first opened so it was quiet but I bet it gets noisy when it's full. The only other thing I would note is that it's a little odd to walk through the kitchen to get to the dining room.
Gregory
The food is consistently excellent and the service is attentive without being overbearing. But the noise level in the main dining room can get very loud and the tables are packed in very close together.
Roger
What a gem... I was so impressed with the food, service, and ambiance. Will go back again after missing the opportunity for a bit...
Marion
I had the salmon which was excellent. The bordeaux happy hour wine was very good and a great bargain. Service was terrific.
Katherine
It was incredibly noisy with a group of 8 young adults who were only drinking and ordered no food, loudly speaking which affected all the other diners in the restaurant. They should have been kept in the bar or outside!! Will think twice about a Saturday night although our reservation was 5 PM!!!!!!
