    My partner and I visited J. Gilbert’s for our anniversary. They had the table set up with heart confetti. Our server, Zach, was amazing! It was our first time visiting and he broke down the entire menu. As we were eating and waiting for our food, he checked on us several times to make sure everything was great. Our glasses were never empty either, nor did we have to ask. The food was perfectly cooked with ample amount of flavor. All around it was a great experience.

    Hey Joslyn, We're absolutely delighted to hear that you had a great anniversary celebration! It's wonderful to know that our team was able to provide you with an exceptional experience, from the heart confetti to the entire menu. We're also thrilled that you enjoyed our perfectly cooked food and the attentive service. We strive to make every visit special for our guests. We look forward to welcoming you back for many more memorable experiences! Best, The Management Team

    For the price of the boneless Rib-Rye thought there would be more taste. Wasn't bad but didnt have a wow factor of taste.
