“ Roberto's is a little piece of paradise! We started out with the eggplant crab cakes - which were to die for! The flavor was robust and melted in your mouth leaving your tastebuds mouthwatering with every bite. We were served promptly for a Wednesday evening. They surprisingly had several decent sized parties for a weekday but the service was phenomenal. We each had an entrée served with a salad and bread. The half a roasted duck is amazing. The amount was large enough to feed two people. The fried catfish and shrimp were perfectly crispy with amazing flavor - very well seasoned. Roberto's is great about substituting items! The restaurant hide a quiet vibe, next time I think we will sit in the bar area since this is more our scene but overall highly recommend this restaurant. We will be back! ”
