    Always a dining experience to look forward to. The salads are fresh and cold. The filet mignon was perfectly cooked as requested, medium rare. Sourdough bread is served warm. Check out the cocktails and mocktails.

    As always, the food at J. Gilbert’s was outstanding! I had a coupon for $15 off and it took not one, not two, but three times to present the coupon. The third time the manager accompanied the server and said that coupon was only good this past weekend. I pointed out that the expiration date was 7/29/25 and that we were at the restaurant on 7/1/25. For the third time, the coupon was copied and the deduction appeared on our check. The restaurant did honor my guest’s birthday with a free dessert, which was lovely. However, the hassle over my coupon was disturbing.

    Drinks came out VERY slow; calamari appetizer, underwhelming; Greek salad was mushy, stale; steak (6oz fillet) perfect.

    My husband and I celebrated my birthday. I received an email from the restaurant for $25 off our bill for my birthday. Food was fabulous as was the service we received from Kimberly. The wood fired meats are excellent!

    The service for my birthday lunch with a friend was exceptional. The food was wonderful - though I miss the Chicken Tortilla Soup on the menu.

    I have always had good dining experience at JGs, however last evenings birthday dinner with family was a terrible experience. Long waits on the mail, horrible wait staff: dishes remained on table for 20mins after finish, bread on table until dessert, drinks not refilled - absolutely disorganized for the high price dining experience. Desserts came out wrong and then had to correct charges. Unfortunately we will not be coming back.

    We have been going to J. Gilbert’s in McLean for almost 20 years now. Simply put, it’s just not as good as it used to be. The steaks are still good but the service was lackluster at best. The menu doesn’t have the same offerings as before - some of which were star items that we would always order. I’m sad to say but not sure if we’ll be coming back after so many years.
