    We sat at the bar and John was great. We tried the prime rib egg rolls. They were not good. The shrimp and grits were sooo good! My husband had the sea bass , which he loved . The menu has completely changed and it’s not good . We won’t be back . The music was loud . I like Frank Sinatra but not every other song . Bring back the old JGilberts !

    The waiter seemed annoyed with us right off the bat. It was my birthday dinner. First, the steak was way undercooked so I had to wait to start my meal while my fiance started his. The waiter only brought us one loaf of bread while we waited. Then we got the check and had to wait around because the free cake was added to our bill and the waiter didn’t come back. I love this place normally. Once the steak was fixed it was delicious but the crab cake that I out on top of my steak was cold.
