There's nothing small about Robust's sharable, wine-worthy small plates that err on the hearty side: the aptly named Robust Chowder, roasted rack of lamb, and bistro rib-eye medallions among them.
From the restaurant:
"Relax in our warm and inviting setting — no pretense, no pressure. Whether you're a casual wine sipper or an expert on wine, you'll appreciate our generous variety of wines available by the glass, flight or bottle. In addition to our wine collection, an impressive selection of domestic and imported beers and award-winning microbrews are also available. Nosh on cheeses, salami and assorted charcuterie; flatbreads, salads, sandwiches and delectable small plates: all perfectly paired for you with a variety of suggested wine choices."
Beer and wine available. Serving lunch Mon–Sat, dinner nightly.
"If Robust's menu as a whole doesn't vary too much from standard wine-bar offerings, that's not necessarily a bad thing. This is food meant to be shared, a component of an evening out, like good company and good conversation. The wine is what brings it all together."
