    Have eaten here for years and this is the first time I haven't rated our experience with all 5 stars. The wedge salad was the core of the lettuce head, with no green leaves. My pork chop was overcooked and difficult to cut. The waiter forgot to bring water and left before taking a drink order from one of our party. Very disappointing visit!

    It was freezing cold in the restaurant. A disappointment for a big year end meeting with our team. I usually am a big fan of this venue.

    One of my best dining experiences ever. We had a large (8) family holiday gathering: every dish was composed of high quality ingredients perfectly prepared, and each was served with faultless timing. Definitely at the top of my list for special occasion dining in KC!

    We had not been to J. Gilbert's for a number of years. We found we had been missing one of KC's most wonderful dining experiences. The meal was outstanding and delicious with excellent steaks cooked strictly to order. J. Gilbert's has a large wine list which features varieties of all types at many price levels. Service was very, very good and great service is hard to find these days. The physical beauty, warmth and vibe are welcoming and charming. The place reminded me of how steakhouses used to be and how they should be now for today's guests.

    Our JGilbert’s dining experience was outstanding. We were seated in the bar area so mom didn’t have to do steps, which was helpful. Our service was amazing (above and beyond and attentive, even with crowds and a party!) and the food was both generous servings and flavorful(bisque and ribs and coconut cake). The only complaint would be that it was a bit chilly, but it’s December, so it didn’t truly overly impact a wonderful afternoon meal.

    We visited J. Gilbert's Restaurant for our wedding Anniversary event. Service was terrible, food was okay (we had a shrimp cocktail and a cheese and meat plate. They were so large we cancelled our dinner order. (Not a complaint, just servings for at least 4 people). Service was the worst we have experienced from a fine restaurant.
