    Unfortunately my steak was initially undercooked and then after being sent back, it was extremely overcooked and inedible. The waitress however was excellent

    Steaks, salmon and sea bass special were all excellent. Waitress was really efficient - she was there when needed but didn’t hover an make us feel rushed. I’m pretty picky and I really liked J Gilberts.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner at J. Gilberts. The bone-in dry aged Kansas City steak is very good as was the herb roasted chicken. The option of choosing sides if you want, is extremely accommodating. The wine list is excellent and of course, desserts are yummy! As always the service is very commendable as is the ambience. We are "regulars" at J Gilberts!
