The restaurant was crowded. Yet the noise level was not overpowering. The greeters at the check-in were friendly. Our server, Peter Axelsen was awesome!!! He recommended a mocktail that was the best drink ever. We appreciated the restaurant managers stopping by our table to check on us twice. The food was superb.

You can always count on Gibson’s for a quality steak in a fashionable location. I was dining with a friend you had a short term dietary restriction. Our server, Lee, said they had nothing on the menu to meet it but he promised to check with the kitchen. Lee returned with the item, from a nearby restaurant, so our entire party didn’t have to change locations. Outstanding service!

Outstanding service, delicious Italian food, and iconic location. We were seated in the "outdoor space - actually a nicely enclosed area along the sidewalk where we could watch Chicago pass by. Great viewing while wining and dining. I can not emphasize how great the service is here. Every single time we visit.
