Meringue dessert was light and delicious. Sweetbread dinner was good with some of the best mashed potatoes I’ve ever had! The friseé salad was perfectly dressed with crispy, salty lardons.

I was a little surprised by the other reviews here– I have been to this place several times and it has become my favorite Boston Area restaurant. The food is just that extra little bit better than you usually get, and it’s like home cooking– you don’t get that usual post-restaurant-meal stomach upset that is so common for me. It’s just really good food, feels like going to France, and has charming waitstaff.

Owner goes out of his way to meet customers and help them choose some great wines. Excellent choices of mussels , lamb & salmon! We eat here often & enjoy a quiet atmosphere. Very good table service.

As French native, we feel like home when we go to Petit Robert Bistro! Food is very good, with great quality of products (smoked salmon, cheeses, charcuterie…) and the French Kiss cocktail is awesome. Highly recommend this warm and delightful place!

They pride themselves on reasonable prices, and we were not disappointed by that. One of us got a fish dish, and it was under-seasoned, but other than that the food was great. Some of the decor is dated. The service was excellent.

Petit Robert Bistro on 45 Chapel Street in Needham is a terrible restaurant run by a horrible man named Jay Spencer who has no clue about customer service. I made a reservation at this restaurant for Valentine’s Day and when we got there (on time) we were led to a table that was practically in front of the kitchen. There were a few other open tables at the restaurant in a better location so we asked to be seated at one of them but we were told by Mr. Spencer that they were reserved… Well, I made the point that I also had a reservation and this wise guy (again, the OWNER) said that we need to have a party of four to sit at one of these tables. We chose to accept the crappy table he offered us but then a few minutes later another couple came in and were seated at the exact table that we were told was reserved for four. I called Mr. Spencer to protest this and he gave me an attitude as if he has the right to decide who seats were at his restaurant and he then said that if I don’t like it I can go eat elsewhere… So we walked out of the restaurant and went to eat elsewhere. What a jerk, as if he owns the last restaurant in the Boston area.

Great outdoor seating but the uninspired menu and sluggish service have only gotten worse over time. It’s probably why you’ll always be able to find a table here.

Prices are a little on the high side, but the food is wonderful. The short ribs are softer than fork tender, they’re pull apart soft.
