    Had not been to J. Gilbert’s for several years (we now live across the river in MD). We had a very nice meal. The place was hopping, but our service was prompt and staff was very friendly, especially our waiter Brian; noise level was not a problem, even with all of the surrounding tables occupied. Nice beer and wine choices and a lot to choose from on the menu. Valet service, which is a must cuz that parking lot is always full. Definitely recommend.

    When we entered the lobby we were greeted by very professional yet also very fun hostess. We had drink in bar while waiting for our guests, very attentive to our order. When we were seated for dinner the environment was very relaxed, pleasant, the noise level was good, the waiters were very attentive, polite and accommodating. The food was delicious. We really enjoyed our evening at J. Gilberts. Will definitely go back.

    I really enjoy going to J Gilberts. The food and drinks are excellent as is the waitstaff. I marked down from 5 to 4 stars because the food came much too fast. I had hardly sipped my drink when the first course arrived, and we had not finished our first course (far from it) when the main courses arrived and were just placed on the table where they got cold as we finished our appetizers or switched to eat the main and finish the appetizer later. That has never happened to me before. I can understand it when people come for business lunches and are in a hurry but not for a dinner with a reservation for 7pm. Was everyone anxious to get home?

    Another great experience at Gilbert's. Our steaks were perfectly prepared and absolutely delicious. And the service was great, as usual.

    Overall the food was very good with the exception that the sides came out cold and no one checked soon enough to make replacing them worthwhile. Never had a chance to order a second drink because we were not checked on until I had finished my entree. Will probably eat here again because the food is good but the service needs some work.

    FOH was unwelcoming. Our server was mostly absent during our visit and unfriendly when he visited our table. I felt like he decided we wouldn't be good tippers so he just neglected us and was rude when he delivered our appetizer and meals. This was a special occasion but there was no acknowledgment of the birthday. The food was excellent but the experience was unpleasant. I would have stayed to talk to a manager but the 30 minutes we waited to get our check prevented that possibility.

    Excellent time, even though the restaurant was very busy. Food was great, especially the shrimp cocktail and the lamb chops.
