    Dining at Robertos is always a pleasant experience. The food is excellent and and the environment is relaxed. You mostly likely will always get a visit from the owner who will spend the time asking about and listening to your needs and feedback as well as adding to your experience. This is our go to restaurant when we just want to enjoy our meal and have have a pleasant conversation. The menu is fairly expansive with a variety of daily specials as well.

    As a shared appetizer we ordered Brussels Sprouts, which we had enjoyed on a previous visit. They were served, under cooked and tough. When we complained, the server took them back to the kitchen and brought us a new order, which was more enjoyable. I ordered a signature Roberto's Martini. It was served without the blue cheese stuffed olives. When I mentioned that to our server, he brought me two skewers. My Ceaser Salad was nice. I ordered Shrimp Ala Vodka, and it was pleasant. Others ordered Chicken Parmesan, and The Italian Feast. entrees were unremarkable other than my friend thought the sauce on the Italian Feast was too sweet, compared to what he had previously. Our server was attentive and helpful but did not review the day's specials, which were different than those shown online.

    We have enjoyed many meals at Roberto's over the years. The chef owner, Dave, always has something wonderful on the menu in addition to his classics. He is always ready with a smile and a heartfelt greeting. The grouper Neptune is my usual favorite, and the steaks are superb. The sweet chili Thai salmon is excellent too. Our server Josh was pleasant, efficient and helpful. We look forward to our next dinner there.
