Freezing temperatures in the dining room made it very uncomfortable. Food was not up to a fine dining experience as they advertised. They are sorely understaffed so there was no way for them to keep up and the restaurant was half empty. I can’t imagine had it been busy. Ordered steak frites and the fries could have been from a diner. They brought the wrong salad twice, each time it was the same sad filet which had been back and forth to the table on the different salads over the course of 30 minutes so it was freezing (the same temperature as the room). The picture is of the salad from the first go around. They brought a completely different salad than what I ordered. The steak was as hard as a rock and I finally just asked them to take the salad after it came the second time with croutons and I had ordered without. They asked me to scrap the croutons off the salad myself and I explained I am celiac and cannot just scrap off croutons. I will say the bartender was trying her best but she is not a miracle worker. Between them not having enough people to take care of the tables there and the disaster of the food, this was not the experience they sell on the website. Many things went terribly wrong here.

Dietary restrictions: Would not recommend eating there with a food restriction.

We had branch at this restaurant when we were in town and absolutely loved it. The waitress Medi was great. She makes a great cocktail too.

As someone who doesn’t normally eat at a hotel when coming from out of town, I’m so glad we did on this trip. Had breakfast and dinner at Robbie’s and both were excellent. Everything from decor, atmosphere, service, food and drinks was great. My husband said it the best burger he’s ever had. And prices are very reasonable. Glad we decided to try Robbie’s.

Good food. Bartender was great but she was busy handling the entire bar and restaurant while the boss just walked around. Get her some help.

It's was nice enough inside, but empty. Too many hard surfaces so I'm sure it would have been too loud when busy. Bartender was mildly friendly at best. Pizza was complete trash, it tastes like sugary Spaghettios on flaccid crust. Mayfair salad was completely uninspired and the dressing itself was garbage; it's just mayo, garlic and sugar apparently.

The cocktails were very good at Robie's. We had the charcuterie board for starters. It had a good amount of cheese, meat and fruit. The Mayfair salad was good and we could have ordered one and shared. Gnocchi and chicken was a little disappointing because there was very little chicken and the sauce was too sweet. The pecan encrusted was dry and we really could not taste any pecans. The ambience was great and service staff were very friendly.

The food was not good. The salmon on the salad was hard as a rock and I'm not even sure it was 3 ounces. They were serving a different menu than what was on the website. Our server was very kind but the service was slow because the kitchen was clearly overwhelmed by an event that was happening. Very very disappointing

This is a lovely place located in the Magnolia Hotel downtown. It is located on the 1st floor towards the back when you come thru the doors. The menu selection is small but the prices are big. I ordered the scallops, but they were out, so I ordered the Angus filet. We ordered their wings as an appetizer, and my daughter had the pecan crusted salmon. I also ordered the Magnolia Mayfair salad. The filet and salmon had no seasoning on it. The salad was a few pieces of romaine lettuce that was supposed to be grilled but it just had some char marks on it and was cold. The wings were ok, they weren't seasoned well either, but that was the best thing we ordered. My daughter was highly disappointed and when the bill came, she was extra disappointed ?. Parking is at a premium since it's location is right on the street and in the middle of downtown, we lucked up getting a space right outside because it was on a Sunday and someone had just left. The restroom is on the second floor so you have to leave the restaurant and take the elevator upstairs. If you're going there thinking about Ms Robbies old restaurant Sweetie pies, please dont. This is supposed to be "fine dinning" for the people who are staying at the Magnolia Hotel.
