Consistently good food & service. We love to enjoy lunch in the bar area on Mondays when 1/2 price bottles of wine are available. Great selection and value for some top-notch wines. Raul does a great job of bartending and serving. He's engaging, attentive and professional.

We had a great dinner sitting in the bar area. Our bartender server was amazing. Very professional and customer service oriented. My ribs were good but a little fatty. the filet mignon was good But for the price it was a little small. It’s a nice place to go. It’s clean and we definitely will return.

Food was excellent. The 3 of us thoroughly enjoyed our meal from the appetizer to entree to dessert. And the smoky old fashion was outstanding!

Food is excellent, service is excellent. They know wine and how to deal with it, which I appreciate. Very classy joint with a very reasonable price. Worth the trip.

Thank you!! As usual the food was delicious and the service, excellent

Wonderful brunch menu.

Hugo was fantastic, took our dining experience from great to awesome!

The hostess seemed overwhelmed. Our service was delayed. Everything else was great. Good food and drinks.

Great food and dinning experience!

Outside seating feltcheesy, servers were overwhelmed, food was good but not timely
Willing to try again

After months away due to Covid, we finally decided to head to JG with a friend. My favorite cocktail was no longer on the menu. We were served our appetizers and then waited a good 5 minutes before someone noticed our hand waving for silverware. I am sure they are juggling lots to get by in these crazy times, but it was not a great showing.

We smelled the wood smoke and followed our noses. Our stomachs were thankful that we stopped on a whim.

Great food and excellent service. We will be returning again.

We chose to dine at J. Gilbert’s in their outdoor seating area, which is a canopied area in the parking lot with two ferns. After all this time and with a beautiful treed area next to restaurant you’d think they would have upgraded their outdoor seating area as most restaurants have. The traffic noise from Rte. 123 was loud to say the least. The staff,although short handed, was friendly and as efficient as running inside and back could be. The food was prepared okay... it’s been better. We’ve been going to J Gilbert’s since they opened so maybe it was an off night.

Everything was perfect - from beginning to end - great food, as always, and wonderful service. Price was right with our coupon! Lovely dining outside but probably not for too much longer! Four ladies who love to lunch at J.Gilbert's!!

Very good food and service. Eating outside is not very nice as in a parking lot and next to busy streets AND very poor seating and tables.

We came here for our anniversary again, its a very nice place for a couple to sit,eat and relax.food is good staff is good.

They were understaffed as you can well imagine under the circumstances. Not enough heaters under the tents. The waiter was so stressed I got my check early and went somewhere else for a second drink. Food was good as always, but energy and pleasantry is gone. Ugh.

A wonderful dinner thank you for making it so special

I order the 4 oz filet mignon and scallops. I wanted my steak medium well, however it came out very well done .
My waitress handled it and I promptly received my medium well steak as requested. The scallops were were too salty and I think I detected a slight ammonia order. Overall, the service was excellent but I think for the money my husband spent, we can find a better food experience elsewhere.

Excellent food and service! I'll definitely return.

The waiter took forever to come to the table. I had to get the hostess to get him

steaks weren’t cooked correctly (still a great meal) but the server was fantastic

Gilbert's has done a wonderful job of complying with the Virus restrictions while at the same time keeping the food first class.

Thanks! Excellent service and delicious food, as always.

Wonderful food! The Sea Scallops were melt-in-your-mouth delicious!

I was a regular customer at J. Gilberts for 6 years. I was going once a month and the food was usually good and service was great. I hadn't been since March 2020 when covid-19 shut down everything nearby. This was my first visit since then. I sat outside which was fine--I requested it to stay away from others. The space was great. e had a large table for 2 and on the edge of the tent. The table though was ugly and there was no salt or pepper and no bread. Bummer. The waiter was average. Never checked in and never offered anything. I had to flag him to get another glass of wine. The real disappointment was the food. My steak was cooked too much. Now, I did order medium well, but what came out was burnt. Tasted awful. I had to use steak sauce to cover up how bad it tasted. The green bean portion was small. Only 8 green beans. The lobster mac and cheese, which was one of my favorites had too much bread crumbs. sprinkled on it. Now I understand that Covid has changed everything in the restaurant business and so I am ok if the food was a bit off, but why did I have to go inside the restaurant to see the host for use of outdoor seating when the news says to avoid being indoors in groups of people nor social distancing? That to me is wrong. I hope J. Gilberts can get their food quality back up and pivot to carry out for the winter.

This is my go to place for all celebrations. Tonight the service was off and the food was overcooked. Hopefully they will be back to normal next celebration

Date night with the wife. First time at restaurant, service was excellent our waiter was outstanding. Food was very good, drinks were excellent. Wife and I shared a 18oz rib-eye on bone with baked potato, green beans, and salad. The waiter brought them meal out on two plates already divided. It was perfect. Restaurant was clean and well run. Staff was very professional.,’prices were reasonable. Will definitely be back.

Recommend highly. Always a great time with great food and service.

J Gilbert’s continues to be a staple in Mclean. We wanted an outdoor table and reservations were easy to make through Open Table. Everything was very clean and the service was prompt. Dinner was delicious as usual.

the special dinner was excellent with very attentive service.

The food was excellent, the service was prompt and courteous, and the atmosphere felt safe. We were far away from other diners and were able to enjoy our meals without feeling compromised. Great job J. Gilbert's!

As usual, very nice

After checking in and being told the table was being cleaned for us, we waited about 15 minutes before they sat us at a table that had been cleaned since before we got there. They only had one menu and asked if we could share or just look up the menu on our phones. And then we sat at our table for 15 minutes with nobody coming to our table to welcome us, bring us water, etc. We probably would wait longer most of the time, but it was getting chilly and it looked like others were having to wait a long time for their dinners (a person at the table next to ours exclaimed “finally” when their food arrived), so we bailed. Disappointing.

The food was all delicious - petit filet, crab cake, swordfish, burger and pork chop. Waited more than 30 minutes for our reserved table, waited 10 minutes at the bar, ended up getting wrong drink. It was nice to be out and I am disappointed that the service tarnished the experience. The waiter himself was very pleasant and responsive.

Unfortunately my steak was under cooked and the Potatoes where raw. I hope this was just a one time deal. I do love the KANSAS City Strip. The service was great!!!

Went there during covid times with a buddy I haven’t seen in a long time. Had a full section to ourselves, so no worries about social distancing with other diners. Server was great without rushing us. Food was excellent. Would recommend them anytime. Check out their carry out dinners.

Our server Alban was great! He was very attentive & seemed to really care that we were having a great time. Food was very good as always.

Great food and service

Great, thank you.
