Nothing exceptional about this place except the prices. Exorbitant! 100 bucks for 5 glasses of wine, a small cup of soup, and a spinach artichoke app half as good as any chain restaurant. I'll never go back but please, by all means, go if you like paying way too much for nothing. PS I'd give zero st...

It was a wonderful night overall. Our waiter, Joshua, was excellent. He listened to our wine preferences and provided a thoughtful suggestion, an amarone, that paired perfectly with our entrees.

We enjoyed the charcuterie and cheese board, which came with prosciutto and salami, a soft and a very ...

Comfortable place with mostly small plates/appetizers and wide variety of wine and beer.

Prices are a bit high (especially charcuterie) but there are a few food and drink specials from 4-6 weekdays and daily specials like 15% off wine flights or bottles. Service is good, especially if you sit at...

I was there Sunday during the Webster Christmas walk and the food was great but service was not. I had to ask for a plate and when the bartender handed it to me it was dirty. She watched me pick off some dried food and didn't offer to get me another, she just hurried off. She never refilled our w...

Great food and an amazing wine selection (I LOVE that they have a rating systems for pairings and so many wine flights to choose from). The only reason I'm not giving it five stars is due to our server. When we walked in, we overheard that the host would be assigning us to a server named Sam. Oh, ho...

Nice atmosphere and good service. I enjoyed the wonderful selection of wine and wine flights. I did think that the charcuterie and cheese plate was not worth the $19 price, there was only a little amount of two cheeses and meats. Overall this is a great place to have a drink and meet with friends.

Always a top notch experience here. The only drawback is that it is better suited for connoisseurs as opposed to casual wine drinkers and budding foodies.

I had a great pinot noir for a reasonable price, the Zoe. BF had a beer, and it's nice that they have a variety of basic and craft.

It was ...

Came here for new years eve with a group of 14. We had reservations for 8pm. At 8pm they said table wasnt ready but enjoy a drink at the bar. At 8:55 they finally seat our group. We asked about our server at 9:10pm and waited until 9:17pm without a server coming to our table before we all got up and...

It was our first time here and it won't be our last. The food was delicious and hot when served. I loved my Manhattan and my wife loved her Moscow Mule. I had that Sheppard's pie. She had the Red Snapper. Both delicious. Our server was Joseph and he was courteous, prompt, and knowledgeable. Lov...

We stopped in for some wine and appetizers. We sat at the bar and the bartender recommended a flight. I had the Pinot Noir Flight and my husband had a flight of reds. We enjoyed the atmosphere and the food and the wine. The wine/gift shop section is very nice as well.

Nice food and romantic atmosphere. Other reviews point out some truths: can seem a bit pricey, but some dishes and wine flights are excellent. Some good vegetarian options. If you're not sure what wine you like, all the servers we've had have been happy to make suggestions (maybe even if you think y...

A bit pricey for the normal dinner meals and for poor college students like me. However, the atmosphere is really exquisite and the food is delicious. Don't expect a lot of food for your money though, plates are small if you're really hungry. It has a very NYC kind of feel to it...Reminded me of ...

this is the best place ever to meet a girlfriend for a drink. The appetizers and plates can be shared, and the wine is spectacular. I especially like the "wine flights" so that I can try some different wines. The ambiance is nice and the food is a good value because it is very good.

Went there excited to try a new place. Don't have plans to return any time soon. Nothing was wrong, but nothing was great enough to warrant coming back. Food menu is unique--if you are looking for that sort of thing. We got the crab topped trout and it was good. Got to sit outside on a great ni...

On three occasions I've taken out-of-town guest here to give them a taste of the area. On each visit everyone seamed to walk away disappointed. The food is good, but not great, and the staff is hit or miss - missing most of the time. I tried to like it, I really, really tried.

One of the better wine bars in St. Louis. A great place to visit whether you are a wine connoisseur or are just learning about wines. If you want to learn, sit at the bar when they are not busy and the staff are usually happy to chat with you about all things wine-related. Wines are categorized b...

How do I rate this restaurant higher than a 5?
What is impressive about Robust is our meals are consistently delicious, the atmosphere is relaxing and comfortable and the folks (many/most younger) are respectful and do not hover!
It's really impressive how they are there when needed but allow us t...

I didn't like this place. This place is a wine bar. It's OK if you're a thirty-something woman that likes wine in an upper class neighborhood.

Even though it's not for me, the ambiance is good--cozy and not too loud. Maybe even romantic. I don't know. The staff is really attentive, and the prosc...

Nice wine bar located in the Webster Groves neighborhood. My wife and I were in the area for an event where she was painting live while I played guitar and sang. After we were finished, I noticed a musician playing on the patio at Robust so we stopped in have a listen. The wine selection was great. ...

We had a great evening sitting outside as the sun was setting. Service was excellent (nicely anticipatory) and she interacted like she's known us for years - fun. Food was great (had the Adobo Steak Wrap) and proportions were just about right - enough for a meal but light enough not to weigh me do...

I have driven by Robust many times and always noticed how crowded it has been. But I am not a wine person so I never went in. Just got a gift certificate for Christmas and went to Robust for my first time. What a fabulous experience. They had lots of wine of course but we had beer and cocktails that...
