This is the best seafood restaurant I have ever been to and I am from Louisiana. I cannot say enough good things about this place. Everything we ate was delicious and the atmosphere was very nice.

Enjoyed our first visit to Roberto’s. We went on a Thursday evening and did not have a problem getting a table for 4 quickly. The King Cake Bread Pudding is a must order if you have a sweet tooth!

We arrived at 8:30 PM for dinner not knowing that they closed at 9:00 PM. The waitress was very sweet and accommodating when I told her I didn’t know they closed at that hour. We were the last ones in the restaurant. The food was served, I had the fish en papillote and it was delicious! The restaurant decor is so cool.

I never post reviews, ever… but after spending $365+ and feeling disappointed when we left, I thought I would share. The service was rough. Waitress seemed overwhelmed. Not too friendly. The food, eh. Only thing I liked was the scampi crab claws. And I love food!!! I’ve had a thousand other dishes elsewhere at half the price… that tasted way better than this. I ordered a $50 plate…and could only eat the asparagus! The steak was overcooked and covered in SALTY crawfish. So much salt that my tongue went dry after the first bite. The dessert? I tried the popular king cake cheesecake and it was SOUR. Yes, you read that right. I thought that would redeem the dinner, but it didn’t. Not to mention it was so hot in there, we were all sweating. We definitely won’t be regulars here, much less returning. 2 stars for… grace? Maybe it was a bad night for all? Hopefully this isn’t a regular experience for guests.

My family and I visited this restaurant a few nights ago on Wednesday night. This place had the worst service I’ve had at a restaurant in years. The host staff was as rude as they could possibly be to us. They delayed and delayed and delayed getting us seated at a table despite there being empty tables everywhere and plenty of staff working. We waited almost an hour to be seated while they had “no wait” for a table. I asked the host staff 3 separate times to be seated during that hour and she claimed “she forgot”. We had 3 small children with us who were hungry. I tried ordering food for them while we were waiting for a table in the bar area and the host would not even take care of that for us. Eventually we finally got seated at a table, and then the waiter even refused to come and introduce herself, or even just take our drink orders for another 20 minutes or so until our last guests joined us at the table. This place has the rudest and most unprofessional people working and running this establishment. We will never be coming back here and I hope that this serves as a warning to anyone thinking of coming here to eat. It’s amazing this place is even still open with how they treat their guests.

It’s legit. Disappointed they took sausage poboys off the menu, but I understand they need to balance and rotate their inventory (their limited poboy selection in favor of their other dishes is a real disappointment). It’s tough to get 3 courses and spend $50 on a lunch without your favorite poboy type…. at least they get the good bread and have legit ranch. To the manager: I’d prefer to see less pretentious specials in favor of more authentic lunch options, even if n you have to have to proce them up a bit for a similar margin.

I have to start with, it’s way better than it looks. The gumbo was like gravy and I mean that in a good way. Crab cakes were subtle and a little sweet. The striped bass was cooked perfectly along with the green beans. The bread pudding was on point, a great classic representation.

Absolutely a gem of a place with wonderful service and true Louisiana fare. Shrimp Roberto and bread pudding were highlights. Ask for the specials or just have the staff recommend their favorites. You will not be disappointed. Cocktails and wine were first class as well. Our server was exceptional. She really handled our group with grace and class. Fantastic attitude.

We had the worst experience at Roberto’s on Mothers Day. Our party of 5 had a reservation at 1, we arrived at 1245, we were seated a little after 2 when they “made” a table to seat us in the bar. Starving, we ordered all our meals right away. We got our meals at 3:06 and at that time the entire staff was working feverishly to close the restaurant down so while we were trying to enjoy our special occasion meal we had to deal with staff breaking down the restaurant. Our food was mediocre, we passed on dessert because at this point we were just done, our server was nice but throughout our experience we felt neglected. We never got an apology , even sharing feedback to the manager, for how long our meal took. Not the Roberto’s we’ve enjoyed in the past.
