This is such a charming place. They have gone out of their way to create a warm, cozy, romantic vibe. The waitress who served us was very attentive. The Turkish appetizers are really good. We had the Harrissa appetizer which has roasted peppers and walnuts in it and we really liked. My husband ordered the Turkish wine with his Kebobs and he said it was really light and smooth. They have a nice selection of wine and cocktails. We will definitely be back.

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!

The food was good ! But most of the soup has bacon so if you don't eat bacon don't order soup cause it's mixed inside it .
