The Grill Is at Your Table

Robata Albany sits on the patio, where charcoal-grill cooking meets a lively, social atmosphere. Every table has its own grill, so the cooking happens in front of you and the meal moves at the speed of the conversation around it.

The selection runs to more than eighty items across meat, seafood, vegetables, starches and dessert — all-you-can-eat, ordered in rounds for as long as you would like to stay.
