    The sirloin was very tough, I realize a sirloin is not the highest quality of cut but for 38.00 it should not have been tough to chew, had better sirloin at a less expensive restaurant

    Yet another delicious and delightful evening at J. Gilbert’s. The cedar-planked salmon never disappoints—especially when paired with those cheesy poblano potatoes, grilled asparagus, and warm sourdough bread. Our server, Jona, was both pleasant and efficient. A great dining experience all around!

    If you want to eat at a high quality steak house don't waste your time going to J Gilbert's. While they price their product at a Ruth's Chris, Eddie V's, and Fleming's, the product that they deliver is more along the lines of Texas Roadhouse. We started with a shrimp cocktail. Big mistake when you're over 1000 miles from the nearest ocean. We received 5 tiny over-cooked (yes, they were served cold), rubbery, bland tasting shrimp. We should have left after the appetizer. For main course, we had a small filet and a KC strip. The filet was average, shout out to the kitchen for cooking both the filet and the KC strip to the exact medium rare doneness we requested. The KC strip was supposed to be prime graded. If it was the the USDA inspector needs to go back to meat judging school because I'd be surprised if it even was select grade. It was tough and chewy. By now you get the gist. We were extremely disappointed with the quality of the food. The service wasn't awful, but certainly not at the level of a $200 meal for two. Needless to say, we will never return to this restaurant.

    We have eaten here several times and really enjoyed it on each occasion. This evening, our server Jona took very good care of us and made sure our evening was well attended without being over bearing. He was around to ensure our glasses were full and to answer any questions we may have had. My wife and I both ordered the maple glazed salmon and were very happy with this choice. It was a substantial portion and included two sides. The salmon was well cooked and quite tasty. The ambiance of the interior is worthy of a fine dining establishment and their music selection is very appropriate, unlike many others we have eaten at. Overall, this was a very enjoyable experience that we would highly recommend to others and will enjoy returning here in the future.

    First off reservation was for 4pm. We didn't get to the table until 4:15. Waiter was wonderful and attentive. All food was top notch except for my Ribeye. It had a grissle streak thru the complete steak, but it was cooked perfectly and had good flavor.
