Everything about this restaurant has character. From the waitress/hostess who greets me personally every time I enter, to the decorative gold plate holders and table accessories, to the Italian opera music that plays in the background (doesn't go with the food, but always makes me smile). I also appreciate the variety of vegetarian fare: Lots of good veggie stir fry and curries that can be as spicy as you want it. If you like Thai food or want to give it a try, this is a great spot to visit.

Robust is a wonderful little coffee shop/wine bar that has a cozy, cosmopolitan feel to it. The Americanos are well made, the veggie panini is delicious (although it would be better if it were on artisan ciabatta bread) and the wine selection is wonderfully local. I would recommend this spot for anyone looking to have a relaxing meal, a laid-back chat with friends or a good read alone.
