    JGilberts has always been our favorite steak restaurant. The steaks are always perfectly prepared. The sides are always so wonderful…. I highly recommend the creamed corn with bacon and the poblano potato au gratin. As always, the service is the best!

    Always great food … but, for my taste, there is always way too much salt added to everything on the plate.

    Server (Caleb C) was extremely helpful and nice. Food was outstanding, as usual. The only thing is that the rewards (for birthday) is only $25.00, even though the price of the meals have gone up.

    Our dinner at J Gilbert’s in Glastonbury was amazing! We enjoyed everything immensely in front of the warm fireplace. Our server chatted us up to ensure he got a good tip which he did indeed. However, after paying our bill he acted like he didn’t know us. He passed my husband several times while he waited for me from the restroom and no smile, no thanks again for coming, no nothing. J Gilbert’s should send him back to customer service training, especially for an upscale place like that. We will remember that next time we go in.
