    Marlow East is small and mirrored on the second floor so a place to see and be seen. It has a 1960’s club like Upper East vibe, seemingly chic and “rich” but full of energy. The food was top quality , both the seafood cavatelli and the chicken dish we had. We took the leftovers home , something we rarely do!! The cocktails were fun We shared a delicious ice cream dessert with various additives that was “off-menu” but given to us nonetheless.

    Robert is such a nice restaurant perfect and so convenient to Columbus Circle. The Wait staff is so nice. We had a waiter named Thomas. He was very sweet to myself and my guest who could not hear and he used his fingerspelling to introduce himself so kind. The food is great and the non-alcoholic beverage with the cherries in them are a little touch of heaven. Make sure you read the back of the menu because it explains all the artwork in the restaurant. lovely touch …thank you and also the bathrooms were clean…
