Rails never disappoints. Beautiful ambiance, professional service and very good food. The Salmon was cooked to perfection. Large assortment of desserts. We had the pineapple coconut creme brulee which was scrumptious. Highly recommend.

Our dinners were delicious. For the first time we tried the herbed roasted chicken with polenta and the potato and truffle pizza. The polenta was soooo creamy and the pizza was very flavorful! The service was excellent as always.

Jessica was awesome! so knowledgeable of the restaurant industry. The food was amazing! The chicken Milanese was the best I’ve ever had! The atmosphere is beautiful. I feel terrible. I forgot our waitresses name but she couldn’t have been lovely. I would highly recommend this considering this for our son’s rehearsal dinner.

    This was the fourth time my wife and I had been to Robert's Scratch Kitchen and the second time with these friends. We all thoroughly enjoyed the food as well as the service. Apps: burrata special and orange salad special Entrees: blackened salmon (2) , branzino, Orecchiette with sausage and broccoli rabe Desserts: apple cake special and coconut cake We love this intimate, BYOB restaurant and is one of a few that we have in rotation.
