Never had a bad experience here. We enjoy dining here. One family member has Celiac disease and we feel safe bringing them here. Taste & quality is never sacrificed on gluten free dishes and you would never know the difference.

Met my friend for dinner. She had the short rib entree and I had the salmon. Both were delicious and had good portion size. Our server was attentive but let us linger to chat without rushing us so he got a great tip!

An experience in UNREASONABLE HOSPITALITY. While my cocktail request was out of the ordinary, and the HHI team swamped with swarms of hungry and thirsty customers, I made a request for a seasonal specialty: the “Smashing Pumpkin.” General Manager, Junior, jumped at the request and made it happen. It’s an example of what it takes to exceed any expectation a customer may have. These A-Team X-Men do what it takes. And with the utmost of precision. Total slam-dunk.

    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.
