This is the best French bistro in Boston. Fantastic food and wonderful service. All around a very pleasant dining experience.

I would certainly return to this restaurant. The bread isn't very good with artificial butter but don't let this deter you. Everything (except beef tartare)made up for the bad first impression. Beef bourguignon - 5 stars Filet mignon - 5 stars Tartare de boeuf - 3 stars (didn't come with chips contrary to the description.and was very acidic) Foie gras sautee - 5 stars Cocktails - 4 stars - no better or worse than you typical cocktails Crème brûlée - 5 stars - hard to go wrong here but delicious Service - 5 stars - our waiter was so friendly and went above and beyond to make our experience excellent. Hands down the best service I've had in Boston. I would give him 10 stars if I could

This review is way overdue! We have been to Petite Robert for few years now and it never disappoints. The quality of the food by its chef Chris, the attention and great taste of their manager Esteban and Majd, Alex, Lucia, Julian and many other names we can't remember, always take care of us and make sure we have an unforgettable experience! Last but not least we have a son with special needs and they make sure he is comfortable and know his favorite dishes! Last night we savored dishes from their Tour of France and between the wine tasting and the food we couldn't enjoy a more pleasant night. Just like their chef explained to us last night..." I want to make sure people enjoy my dishes and keep great memories "...

Really just a spectacular little French bistro experience but with better service than you get in an actual French bistro. We love it here and I cannot recommend it highly enough.

We had a great time because the food tasted good, and everyone working at the restaurant appeared happy to be working there. We enjoyed our conversation with the waiter, who was extremely pleasant.
Beet salad delicious. Demi chicken a bit dry. Staff is very knowledgeable about allergens and very accomodating. Service could have checked in more...felt like we needed to signal waiter after receiving menus, seating etc to move the meal along. All that is minor though...everyone enjoyed their meals, flavors good, and the overall experience was very enjoyable. Comments offered constructively for fine-tuning alovely night out.

Excellent venue for a meal with our daughter who is living nearby Petit Robert Bistro. Village vibe. Delicious cocktails, savory French cuisine and fantastic staff who turn this place upside down with a team effort. Feels like Paris!

This place was originally fantastic about a year ago, however over time, the service and quality of food has gone downhill, at least to a level no longer commensurate with the prices they are charging and the restaurant they position themselves to be. Will sadly no longer be a patron of this place going forward.

Romantic spot for Valentine's Day. Unfortunately the limited menu was disappointing especially since one of the 4 main courses was unavailable meaning there was only one meat option. My husband had the steak so I decided to have the prawns, which were overcooked and chewy. The team did everything possible to muffle the sound of construction outside the restaurant.
We went to Petit Robert for Valentine's pre fixe dinner. It was excellent! Service was also excellent. We'd had not been going to the restaurant in a while...but after Feb. 14th/ special, we want to go back on a regular non holiday to see how it fares.

Excellent service. The restaurant is an intimate, yet cozy setting that just screams a night to remember. My friends and I enjoyed all of our meals.

We had a very enjoyable dinner at Petit Robert after the BSO. Wonderful service from Alexander and great salads, Coq au Vin (which we split) and a cheese course to finish it off. We'll be back!

This is quickly becoming our favorite treat of a restaurant. They do the classics incredibly well - escargot, French onion soup are both stand-outs. We appreciated they got us out on time for our concert at 8 pm, despite having a short turnaround. Atmosphere is wonderful, too.

We were packed in the narrow restaurant, but I guess it's like the bistros in Paris. The service and food were excellent. Cheese board, beet salad, and 3 perfectly cooked steak frites and a filet mignon. Nice option before the BSO.
