    This was our second time here. It was just as great as the first time. The food and ambiance was great. What made it extra special was our waitress Jade. She was awesome. She was attentive,our water cups were always full and she was very patient in explaining dishes and drinks to us. She even swapped out one drink my wife didn't like at no extra cost or hassle. Jade made our Valentine's dinner that much special. She even took pictures for us.

    Valentines Day at Roberto’s…. Wonderful! No expensive fixed price menu, no jacked up prices, no over-crowding or rush yo flip the table. Just the usual menu, wonderful service and comfortable atmosphere. The one change, Long stem roses on every table.

    If you are debating on where to eat tonight, don’t think twice just book the reservation. My husband and I have been to the top Omakasa restaurants in NYC and this place tops them all. The food is incredible, the atmosphere is calming, and the service is top notch. I swear that you will be talking about your dinner for weeks to come. You won’t regret it.
