    Delicious food, great service. The vegetable sides were a little uneven - four asparagus but more green beans than we could eat - but definitely a good experience and I’ll go back.

    We patronize only when we get a coupon, to make it affordable for us but there is no question the food is very good and service well above average.

    We like to come to J. Gilbert's for family celebrations as well as coming for a date night. The food and service are consistently good. It is also a nice place for a lunch out with friends.

    We went to J. Gilbert’s for my husband’s birthday. The food, service and ambiance were wonderful, and we didn’t have to shout across the table to hear each other. We had a great experience!

    Always a dining experience to look forward to. The salads are fresh and cold. The filet mignon was perfectly cooked as requested, medium rare. Sourdough bread is served warm. Check out the cocktails and mocktails.

    As always, the food at J. Gilbert’s was outstanding! I had a coupon for $15 off and it took not one, not two, but three times to present the coupon. The third time the manager accompanied the server and said that coupon was only good this past weekend. I pointed out that the expiration date was 7/29/25 and that we were at the restaurant on 7/1/25. For the third time, the coupon was copied and the deduction appeared on our check. The restaurant did honor my guest’s birthday with a free dessert, which was lovely. However, the hassle over my coupon was disturbing.

    Drinks came out VERY slow; calamari appetizer, underwhelming; Greek salad was mushy, stale; steak (6oz fillet) perfect.

    My husband and I celebrated my birthday. I received an email from the restaurant for $25 off our bill for my birthday. Food was fabulous as was the service we received from Kimberly. The wood fired meats are excellent!
