   Prix Fixe is a great value - my husband and I both had the filet combo. Sides were delicious (we had mash potatoes, green beans and carrots). Although the salads were good (toppings were fresh and vibrant), the dressing was a big heavy on the house salad. I might ask for it on the side or half amount next time. We both got the flourless cake for dessert (mine to go). It was super rich and decadent. The raspberry ice cream on the side helped soften the richness. We've dined here a half dozen times and the service is always top notch. Very friendly, attentive but not overly so. We were there for our anniversary and they treated us to a champagne toast. Very enjoyable evening overall - would continue to go back.

   The $64 dollar bone in strip was extremely sinewy and in some instances gristly. Being borne and raised in Omaha I have expectations of melt in your mouth steak at such a price point. This was not the case in this instance .

   Our server, Jordan, was great, but the foods were just not up to par. I have visited J. Gilbert's in other states and have always had great experiences. But this time, the seafood were overcooked, the $720 aged in bone steak has a strange sweet season, and was not cooked to the temperature requested, even after the kitchen tried to threw it back on the grill. The filet mignons were chewy. The ribs were too burned. We were very disappointed since it was not a cheap meal. Management did comped one steak which we appreciated, and I hope they were just having an off day

   We visited for our anniversary and when we looked at the bill noticed we did not get our drinks for the happy hour price when asked about it the waitress said she would see what she can do and the manager said no not sure why we could not get our few drinks at happy hour price since it was happy hour and we needed to be seated on tile floor or bar. We love this place and still will recommend but will also tell our story

   Dinner was excellent and our server Jackson was attentive and friendly. He was helpful and professional and reset the tone for our dinner after a rude reception at the front desk. Manager was rude when we arrived. I gave our name and reservation info multiple times but he was not listening, never made eye contact, and asked me repeatedly if we were with a different party but never listened to my response. Our reservation was for a standard table but none were available when we arrived. I was told we could take a booth or bar table. When I asked how long the wait would be for the standard table the manager snapped at us and said it would be a long time. Despite his unprofessional behavior and start to the evening we had a great meal. Jackson did an excellent job and the food was fantastic.

    The food, for the most part was excellent; something I’d expect from a high-end steak and seafood restaurant. The preparation of the steak was wonderful; the crab cake, good but not great. Creamed corn out of this world and the au gratin potatoes unique and tasty. Crab bisque also excellent. Deserts were OK but could have been better. The service was very good but due to the number of diners in the restaurant, it took considerable time to get appetizers then main courses. Entrees all came at once but appetizers did not. All in all a good experience but room for improvement. I’d go back but not before trying some of the other local venues.

    I put in my reservation that I was celebrating my birthday. This wasn’t acknowledged during my visit. My filet mignon was very salty and over seasoned, which was disappointing considering how expensive it is. The noise level was very high and I couldn’t hear any music playing, so I didn’t really enjoy the ambience of the place. The lobster Mac & cheese and bread were delicious. Overall I wouldn’t come back and I don’t think the quality of my food was worth the price.

    Overall it was a nice meal for my family and I. It is my wife's favorite restaurant in town so every holidays we like to go there and enjoy a good time. The drinks were great, appetizer was great and her salmon was great. I ordered the chef's special tomahawk in medium rare, but it came with 3 different temperatures throughout the steak from medium to medium well to well done.

    JGilberts it’s one of my favorite places to eat but last Sunday they were a mess. Let’s start by mentioning that I was seated on the bar area, I didn’t book that and the Mgr was careless about it even when there were tables available in the main salon. Then after the order was taken the waitress told us one of the ordered items wasn’t available, whole Fifteen minutes after the order was taken, but let’s move on. Plates were delivered to the wrong person at the table and we have to wait for them to change the side dishes of one of the plates. There’s more. The waitress dropped the leftovers of one of the plates all over my pants as she was cleaning the table and she never notify the mgr about it. Awful experience

    I’ve been here 4x in the last year. I enjoy the atmosphere, kindness of the servers and the food. My most recent visit wasn’t that great. Maybe it was just a bad night. Our servers were not very attentive and one of them actually seemed to be getting trained/ oriented. We mentioned we were going to share our food family style. This implies we will need extra plates (or they could offer to plate it that way for a few) and didn’t bring serving utensils or extra plates. Additionally, we ordered our meal medium rare- but the center was not warm and was raw. So we had to send our steak back and that’s disappointing when you have all of your other sides you are waiting to enjoy with your steak. The server told us that “lately steaks have been coming out more rare.” I think this needs to be communicated to the chef or the servers need to share this info with the patrons when ordering. Otherwise the rest of the food was good.
