This was the first time my wife and I had been to J. Gilbert's and it was a wonderful experience. I had the Kansas City strip; it was juicy and very flavorful; one of the best steaks I've ever had. My wife had the crab cakes and loved them. Only one downside in the whole meal; the crab bisque soup was just too salty! I should have sent it back. The desserts were very tasty and presented so nicely. I had the chocolate fudge cake; it was soooo good! Service was impecable! We will definitely be back to J Gilbert's.

We have an incredible dinner experience at Gram & Dunn! The restaurant was beautiful and festive and the menu was fantastic. But the best part of our experience was most certainly our waitress Andrea. She was outstanding! Extremely knowledgeable, so fun and engaging, knew the food and drinks so well and guided us well when we asked for help. She was an absolute delight! If you go here you should ask for her!

The server was welcoming and knowledgeable. She seemed to sincerely want to provide an enjoyable dining experience. She opened three bottles of wine for us to sample and agree upon. And the complimentary tiramisu birthday dessert was delicious.
