    This was our 1st visit and it won’t be our last. This is probably the best steakhouse we’ve even been too. From beginning to end everything was amazing.

    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.

    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.

    As a regular diner at J Gilbert's, the food continues to be excellent along with the service and ambience. The new addition to the menu, The Dean's Shrimp, is a delicious meal. Also, the addition of cinnamon ice cream to the apple croustade is yummy. The service and ambience are excellent as always.

    We eat here on a fairly regular basis(4-5x's/year) and this by far was one of the very best experiences we have had in a long time. It's usually always reasonably good, but last night was exceptional. Our server Dom was on top of it and the food came out on time and was very well prepared and it was almost like they had a new chef, it was so vibrant and ust extraordinarily done well. Thank you we sincerely enjoyed it
