    Steak arrived cold and raw. Reheated in microwave obvious because ends were overdone and middle was less done. Did not offer bread until we asked. Wooden knives are not sanitary.

    J. Gilbert’s - Wood Fired Steaks & Seafood - OmahaResponded 1 day ago

    I apologize that you steak wasn’t cooked to your liking. For all our steak we only use our wood fire for all cooking, if you would like to reach out to me please do so. I can be reached at 531-222-9218 or email at Rday@jgilberts thank you Roland

    Our waitress was awesome, but the food was just OK. Had to send back my original meal(Pork chops) because it was under cooked. Made a different choice(Filet) and it was better. Unfortunately we will not be returning. The pricing is to high for the quality of the food. Very glad that we had a gift certificate to cover most of the cost.

    First time visit to J. Gilbert's Omaha and we went on Thanksgiving. Everything was great. Service was amazing, food was awesome! They offered their whole menu for Thanksgiving in addition to a great Thanksgiving Prix Fixe offering Turkey and all the fixings. Value was great for all that you get. Found our new Thanksgiving place and will definitely come back again.

    We had the most delicious Thanksgiving meal yesterday at J. Gilbert's. This is our fourth year in a row we have enjoyed our Thanksgiving meal at this wonderful restaurant. We have tried all other Thanksgiving meals served at restaurants in the city of Omaha over the past 15 years and J. Gilbert's is by far the best tasting turkey dinner with trimmings in the city. Thank you to the entire staff of J. Gilbert's for once again making our Thanksgiving memorable!
