    Great Service from Sir Anthony. Food was excellent. I had Durango Shrimp as my main entree, and my spouse had the pork chop. He said it was the best pork chop he’s had.

    Excellent service! Food was good. Crab cakes and pork chop were excellent. But, the coconut layer cake was a little disappointing.

    Sharon, thank you for the review! We are glad you enjoyed your food and service, but would love to know what was disappointing about the coconut cake, as this is one of our most raved about desserts! We appreciate the feedback and hope to serve you again soon!

    Sooooo, we shared the crab bisque and crab cake to start, both were fantastic. The bisque is so rich, silky and delicious. The crab cakes with the pineapple salsa with either sauce is hands down one of the best appetizers. She ordered the lobster tail and couldn’t have been more pleased. I had the prime rib w baked potato and it was prepared perfectly. Kudos to the chef’s and wait staff. Great experience and I loved the old fashion I had w dinner. Only issue is that she will expect this for every birthday dinner.

    We usually love J. Gilbert’s, but lackluster service really detracted from our experience tonight. There used to be a whiskey list, but apparently not anymore - I’d expect one at a restaurant of this caliber. Our waiter gave us some wrong information when we initially ordered but then did come back later to correct and allow a change. When the food arrived though, there were some things he just forgot. The food runner was very nice about correcting that. After that, we barely saw the waiter. That was a problem because our water glasses never were refilled. When our waiter came to remove plates, he didn’t ask if we wanted another drink nor did he notice the empty water glasses. He then brought the prix fixe dessert, again with something missing, and turned and left quickly enough that we couldn’t ask for it to be corrected. Then he abruptly left the bill without asking if we wanted anything else or even if we were ready for the check. The whole meal felt impersonal and rushed. Hopefully this was just an isolated incident.

    Jeff, we are so sorry to hear that your service fell short of our standards. If you have any details you can share as to who waited on you or where you were seated we certainly want to use your feedback as a coaching moment for the individual. Feel free to email us directly at 3825@jgilberts . As far as your comment about a whisky list, we don't have one for the guests due to allocated items, and constant availability changes, however the server should have a list in their book in order to give the guest current options. Your experience with us was unfortunately way off the mark of what we strive for, and your feedback will definitely help us do better. We value your business, and hope to serve you again.

    We celebrated my birthday at J Gilbert’s. It had been while since my last visit and we had an awesome experience. We will not wait so long to return. Our server, St. John, was excellent and took great care of us. He was very attentive and gave us plenty of time to enjoy our meal. The ribeye with truffle butter and scallops were amazing. The apple pie desert was very tasty.

    Bill thank you so much for the review! We are glad to hear that St. John took great care of you. Feel free to request him the next time you visit us! Cheers!
