    This was our first time and it was amazing!! We will definitely be back. We came for Valentines day weekend and ate from the prefixed Valentines menu for 2. Everything came out perfect and the portion sizes were more than enough. We were in a back room area that was much more quiet and intimate than the bar area that you see when you walk in, which is what we wanted. Our server was fantastic too. 10/10 !!!!

    We enjoyed our Valentine’s Day at Gibsons! The food and drinks were excellent and the staff was kind and helpful. We would have preferred to sit in the main eating rooms. We were in a separate space that appeared to be a temporary space for Valentine’s Day. It did not feel as comfortable and it was very cold when guests would enter/exit the restaurant. However, it did not ruin the experience and we will come back because of the food and excellent service!

    Our server Hector completely ignored us once he took our order. We had to beg for water & coffee refills. Our plates sat on our table for an extremely long time until the busboy took pity on us & brought us containers for our leftovers. I frequent this restaurant approximately once every 6 weeks. I’ve had Hector at other times & his service was good Next visit I will ask not to be in his area
