   We loved the atmosphere, the servers were very nice! It was a little loud being there was a rowdy party going on upstairs. The bread pudding had an unexpected twist in flavor that we loved. Only negatives were all the menus didn’t have all of the deserts listed, which I overheard our server tell another table so I only had 3 of the 5 on the menu in front of me. I would’ve loved to see what other options they had. Also, my fork was filthy I ended up using my husband’s silverware instead.

   We were very excited to try this place, only to find out they only had 3 dessert options. This restaurant is advertised as a dessert bar, why only 3 desserts?? The after dinner cocktail list was slim as well. So many people got up and left after seeing the minimal selections they had to offer. I hope this place gets better or it definitely won’t survive.

   The menu was not correct online nor at the table. We thought we would get to taste an exquisite dessert but instead they only had an over priced peach cobbler, banana split and bread pudding. Call first before you go because they change the menu monthly but don’t post what the changes are.

   Good cocktails and desserts. Not very accessible (you have to walk down stairs to get to the space). Server was rude and demeaning. For the price I would have expected far better service. Will not recommend to others.

   Need more warm deserts and more desert options. Coffee with spirits or full coffee service would also be nice.

   Quiet environment great for an intimate date because there are no noisy distractions. The decor is impeccable and the service excellent. The desserts are tasty but are not a headliner. I would recommend anyone try this place at least once or twice.

   The cocktails were very sweet. Felt like drinking cough syrup. Not a great pairing with deserts.

    Some if the desserts on the menu were unavailable, due to some culinary mishaps during prior preparation. This caused us to shift to other menu items that weren't really in agreement with our taste buds (too sweet).

    Quick hits: dessert and cocktail bar with very limited menu. - desserts are somewhat exotic and may not appeal to some. - service is very poor - be prepared for sticker shock, prices are quite high. My experience (in depth): I was really excited to try this place since there is really only one other dessert place in town. Seeing that reservations were recommended I check to see if any are available same day, there were! Every time slot from 8:30 to midnight was open - wow this is great! My party of four arrives to the Robinson Room to find a place that seats roughly 30 and has only two overwhelmed staff members. The hostess/server/bartender tells me they aren't sure they can satisfy my reservation because it was made so recently. Eventually, they get it sorted and seat us. The dessert menu was surprisingly short, just five options. Of the five, we're told two are sold out which is disappointing considering the restaurant would be open several more hours. Between the four of us we order two desserts, three cocktails, and a glass of wine. We receive the desserts promptly but no sign of our drinks. We finish the desserts, still no sign of our drinks. Finally, after 30 minutes our drinks arrive. We asked for the check and went down the street to a place that has it together.

    Huge disappointment! We were so excited to get dessert and drinks here after reading about it. The chocolate orange was a gelatinous mess; wine selections were super-limited; it's way understaffed with one person doing everything from hosting, to bar tending to serving; and the space doesn't look at all how it appears in pictures. It's a tiny space with a grungy little bar and lots of fake plants.

    This could be a fabulous place. It is a beautiful space with great service from what seems to be dedicated employees. What it needs is desserts with more universal appeal and better prices. We went for dessert, but only had drinks because we could not find anything on the menu that sounded good enough to order. There were many people there who felt the same way, it seems, as very few desserts were ordered by anyone on a Saturday night. This concept needs some work.

    Valentine's '22. I would have given The Robinson Room 5 stars across the board had dinner been available in the area OR had it been clearer that dinner wasn't going to be served in the room. The room was very intimate with the dim lighting level, background music, seating arrangements and drink selections.

    Didn’t realize don’t serve meals. Also none of beers on menu available. I asked for Chardonnay but didn’t have. They suggested Pinot Grigio. Glass was very small, like a shot. Asked for another Pinot and the said there was no more. Lovely looking place but just seemed disorganized.

    We had a reservation for a birthday celebration and when we arrived we were greeted by the owner/bartender. I told him we had a reservation and he said “oh you are those people “ the table wasn’t ready and we waited for more than 15 min to order a drink. They were out of many ingredients and desserts and 3 of the 4 drinks we had were not good. The “moist rum cake with caramel sauce ” was like saw dust and there was no caramel. We told the bartender we wanted our check and when he did not bring it after 20 min I went to the bar to pay. He was apologetic stating how busy they were but we will not return.

    The Robinson Room was the perfect place to end our Anniversary date night. It is a small intimate place with approximately 10 tables. There are also a few chairs along the bar. The drinks and desserts were unique and delicious. I would highly recommend for date night or girls night

    Did not have food but could not continue without putting a rating. Everything was great until we paid. Apparently the new holiday menu (it was December 4) “needs to be updated”. Drinks were more expensive than the menu portrayed and the server could only tell us that the menu needed to be updated. Did not seem at all concerned that the menu was wrong. Poor service if you ask me.

    Ben, our bartender was amazing. Ambiance is a little off. Mild damp, basement smell when descending the stairs. Music initially too loud. Also the white string lights wrapped around the sprinkler system detracts from the upscale vibe they want to achieve. Take those down! Drinks, service, and food was on point. Prices are some of the highest I have seen in Columbia and border on ridiculous. The price point will prevent us from dining here often.
