    Server was in a hurry as we had 7:30 reservations on Mothers Day. Started boxing items at the table before everyone was finishrd with their meal. As my 88 year old mom had a fork in hand and had several bites left to eat, he asked if she wanted her food boxed up. This made her Mothers Day meal feel rushed. It wasn’t like we were among the last to leave either. He seemed more interested in completing his service than letting our family enjoy their meal. In addition, it was real loud due to a group of very young children and parents. The food was great as always! We will be back!

    Mother's Day Seating.... First thing appreciated was that they didn't crowd in a lot of extra tables to get as many people as possible in to dine. (as Trezo Mare restaurant did last Moher's day) Seating was quick and server took drink order without rushing. We shared a bottle of Silver Oak Cab that they surprisingly discounted. We both had the Maryland Crab Bisque and it was as wonderful as always. The Filets were as tender and flavorful as you possible dream they could be. I had the berries and cream for dessert and the wife had the Chocolate Velvet Cake. Our Sommelier kept our glasses fillled and the server was attentive, but not hovering. The entire dining experience was very pleasant. We HIGHLY recommend J. Gilbert's for special occasions or just a night out of very fine dining.

    It was very unusual to have my order not get taken correctly and then way too long for it to get corrected and then when it was it still wasn't right. It was very simple - not complicated. I didn't want the incorrect replacement to come out as desert when it was part of a main course. Everybody screws up from time to time but when you pay $130 for a meal for a couple the expectations are higher. Below par on every other visit I've ever had there and barely an apologize for the issue. Take ownership and it's okay to make a mistake.
