Editorial Review for Robin des Bois – by Justin Hartung
In Short
A massive chandelier, fireplace and decade-spanning antiques make for a cozy interior while the plant-strewn, festively decorated backyard more than earns its "Sherwood Forest" nickname. Weekend partyers mix with the nabe's locals and artists, who covet the vintage French movie posters lining the walls. All are drawn by the basic bistro fare--including mussels, steak with potatoes gratin and croque monsieur--and international tangents like couscous with meguez and chili-rubbed pork loin.

I love this place-the food is always well presented and prepared. Good size portions and an affordable menu. I find myself craving the mussels and running on over at least twice a month. The service is so attentive-I am not sure why others had a bad experience? We had dinner there Saturday, and each server came over to check on us- they have good synergy. The citysearch photo does no justice to the interior or decor-I highly suggest checkng this place out-large mirrors, antique chandeliers, with a 60's mod, french, and somewhat sensual charm.
Pros: Great food, atmosphere, decor

I've been here dozens of times. The first thing you notice when you walk in is the aroma of roasted chicken. Then you realize there is an alligator skin over your head. Toni loves the monk fish. I like anything duck. The food reminded me of my brother-in-law's cooking. So I brought him there.... Sure enough, he and the proprieter came from the same town - Aix. Great french country cooking! The only thing that I don't like about this restaurant is the dishwasher etched glasses.
Pros: aroma, price, servings
Cons: steak tartare
