Went to The Robey last night, after a friend visiting from out of town stayed there last week. Thought I'd share a little about our night. Note to all those who waited on us, if I misspelled anyones name my apologies
Called at 4 pm yesterday, spoke to Gabriel asking if it was possible for a 7pm reservation for two which, surprisingly, he confirmed. About 10 minutes later got a call back from Nicholas who said they couldn't do 7, but could do 6:30. Told him not a big deal, I appreciated them fitting us in with such late notice. Rolled in at 6:30, received a warm greeting from host Ken and was quickly seated. FYI they suggest (we did) that you put your name on the waitlist for the Up & Up rooftop lounge, as wait time can be an hour plus. Our waitress, Nikita, promptly stopped by, gave us an overview of the menu and took our drinks order. I'm no chef so I'll just say we both loved our meals (chicken and steak). Nikita was great, that perfect mix of friendly attentiveness without hovering. Nicolas also stopped by to confirm we were enjoying ourselves.
With dinner winding down we received a text confirming our Up & Up slot, so walked up to the 2nd floor to catch the elevator where we were met by Douglas. Had a pleasant chat discussing the history of the building and all the renovations then hopped in the elevator for a ride to the roof.
The hostess, Saskia, and waitress, Rene, were as friendly and attentive as the staff downstairs. The highlight is the city view which is magnificent, the vibe is great, very relaxed (this was around 8:30, probably get's crazier later) and conducive to actual conversation.
Would definitely recommend.
