Sam Y. Sent on 04/30/2023Absolutely amazing!!
Kristi and Richard, along with the entire staff at Robert, were absolutely amazing to work with for our wedding!!
As industry veterans with over 20+ years of experience, Kristi and Richard ensured that the entire planning process was seamless, while also providing us with helpful suggestions and tips, so that every little detail was perfect for our ceremony on the 7th floor and reception at Robert.
In addition to Robert's high level of service, guests still rave about the quality of the food and how the entrees were cooked perfectly...in all honesty, having been to 25+ weddings in my life, including many other top venues in NYC, I'm still in shock that the chef at Robert was able to prepare 100+ perfectly-cooked branzino and medium-rare filets.
Needless to say, given the service and food, I would 10000% recommend Robert to anyone considering it as a wedding venue...and on top of it, the breathtaking views of Central Park don't hurt either!! -

Perfect Wedding
Having our wedding at Robert at The Museum of Arts and Design was truly our dream come true. We had about 120 guests, with our ceremony on the 7th floor and our cocktail hour & reception in the restaurant on the 9th floor. The venue has outstanding views and amazing food which our guests continue to rave about! Working with Kristi and Richard to plan our event was seamless. They were incredibly responsive, kind, professional, and devoted to making our vision come to reality. They collaborated with our other vendors to provide suggestions and ideas which was greatly appreciated. I would highly recommend this unique and stunning venue! -

A year ago, my partner and I had no idea what a 'dream wedding' looked like. After having our special day at Robert and the MAD Museum Theater, it's hard to imagine our wedding without them! From the first second we walked into Robert, just to try their food (hold on, I'll get there!), we found a hidden gem that was somehow like nothing we'd ever seen and so quintessentially New York a the same time. Robert has stunning art, a beautiful view, a calm and cool ambiance which all make it a great place for brunch or dinner. What made it perfect for our 75 guest wedding is the people. Emma and Richard left nothing to chance, offering gentle suggestions, providing feedback from their years' experience and just generally letting us know that our day was as important to them as it was to us. I'm not Beyonce (unfortunately), but the care and attention I received from the staff at Robert is probably the closest I'll get.
Something you'll only get at Robert is a seamless transition from the stunning views of Columbus Circle, to a romantic yet hip lounge vibe once the sun goes down. Everything down to the future is unique and the suggestions the team offered (keeping the cocktail tables and lounge couches for the dance floor? being comfy never looked that good!), were just perfect.
The venue also has several options for your ceremony, but we opted to use the theater, and took advantage of every amenity - from the huge projector screen for a 10 foot tall montage of our dog, to the in house A/V set up for our vows, to the two aisles for our joint walk down the aisle, all the way to the stage which was the perfect size for our Elvis impersonator. Rebekkah and her team were attentive, kind, and warm throughout and made sure we had nothing to worry about!
I cannot recommend Robert/the MAD Theater enough. It's been months and our friends are still raving about the food, the wine, the atmosphere, and the kind, warm staff that made our day truly perfect! -

Over the top!
We are form out of town and our daughter graduated from Juilliard on Friday and was married on Saturday! We chose Robert as the venue for the wedding dinner. We originally wanted to use Bryant Park Grill but they were booked on the date we needed. That turned out to be very lucky for us! This venue is simply spectacular! The food is top notch and the service was excellent! Better than most restaurants of this caliber. Being from out of town (Utah), we relied heavily on Kristi the event coordinator for ARC restaurant group. She was so very helpful. Frankly, this would not have been the success it was without her help, advice and insights! We are not alcohol drinkers and they even accommodated a non alcoholic open bar complete with custom signature mocktails! And the view.... worth every penny! My only regret is that I only have 1 daughter so this is the last wedding party I will host at Robert. We would do it again tomorrow! -

Kay Sent on 04/24/2022Voted best wedding by all our guests!!! :D
We are absolutely thrilled to have had our wedding of ~ 70 guests at Robert! Alex, Richard, and the entire Robert team went above and beyond to make our wedding a spectacular night to remember! Our guests still cannot stop talking about the stylish/modern decor, amazing views, and the delicious food & drinks. Alex was very patient and communicative, taking detailed notes of all our requests, including: a small/casual ceremony with some standing and seated; a signature cocktail (dragonfruit caipirinha!); a giant cupcake; a pescatarian menu with vegan options; and a private area to do a quick, wardrobe change. They also accommodated our other vendors including: a trio jazz band (providing their beautiful piano!), samba dancers, and setting up a table for my brother to DJ! Even when there was a mix-up with the seating cards, they were very quick to jump in and have all our guests seated without a hitch. For the dancing portion, we had SO much fun with everyone on the dance floor (plenty of space!) and an open bar that kept the drinks going all night. Lastly, what struck us the most was how we didn't feel like just another client; instead, we were treated like close friends, with such great care & concern that our wedding be the best day of our lives. Robert completely exceeded all our expectations and now has a very special place in our hearts. We know we will continue to return to Robert in the years to come! -

Perfect NYC restaurant wedding
We loved our experience with Robert. We wanted a more informal ceremony/reception and loved the idea of a restaurant wedding. Thanks to Kristi and Richard, we were able to have our perfect wedding and give our (mostly out of town) guests a unique, Manhattan experience. The best thing about working with Robert is since it’s a restaurant, they take care of all the nuances that normal venues might not. From the food to the atmosphere to the Central Park views, our wedding was truly our best day ever and our guests were so impressed. -

User1900138 Sent on 11/02/2014We sincerely think we had the best wedding ever thanks to Robert. The venue is sophisticated with the most glamorous views we can imagine. The cocktail hour was delicious -- plenty of passed hor d'oeuvres and waiters serving wine (in addition to the non-stop open bar), with guests' jaws dropping when the elevator doors opened and they entered Robert and saw those views. We then had an open structure -- substantial food and carving stations instead of a sit-down meal -- and not only was the food delicious and beyond plentiful, but this structure allowed for a fun, lively night encouraging all of our 140 guests to mingle, which they certainly did. The sound system was perfect, we were thrilled to be able to use the grand piano for the cocktail hour and live singing by one of the grooms (!), and Robert even allowed use of the TV video display, normally reserved for electronic art, for our own use for photos and clips. Arthur was wonderful in working with us in advance and making sure every detail was in place and perfect, the staff accommodated our dropping by the restaurant numerous times before the event (to check out the floor plan, etc..,.) and on the actual night, the staff could not have been more welcoming, helpful and lovely -- one of my treasured memories was Chef Luisa lovingly bringing our hungry 6 year old niece a plate of simple pasta right before the wedding started -- personal touches like that in the middle of a huge event abounded. Our guests have been telling us non-stop that our wedding was the most fun they have been too, and we have to agree -- thanks to Robert and the entire team there, we had the best night of our lives and we think our guests had one of the more magical nights of theirs. We could not have made a better choice than Robert, and the wonderful team there (Arthur, Richard, Chef Luisa, Pastry Chef Benito and the rest). Thank you Robert!
