Great steaks, great service, great value. My friend and I went to J Gilbert's on a whim on a Thursday night. When we walked in we were greeted with a nice smile and friendly. Because we didn't have a reservation we had to wait for a table. So we went to the bar and found only two stools open! PERFECT! the bartender told us about the wonderful happy hour. So we enjoyed some appetizers that were only $5, before we went to our table!

Server was great and friendly! very informative and helped us through the menu. I had a wonderful steak that was cooked perfectly! And my friend who is a vegetarian, got the Veggie Platter. She loved it!

To sum things up, we loved every minute we were at the fine restaurant. I recommend it to anyone. BUT if you are going I also recommend calling ahead to have a table! we WILL be back!

OK but not great. Very nice atmosphere of the West/Southwest. I went with another party for the first time on the recommendation of friend. Steaks especially were recommeded as terrific. Two people: steak and short ribs entries, no drinks, no dessert, one soup - bill just shy of $70.00.

Steak - 12 oz NY Strip, nice cut, essentially no waste, done a little past recommended, arrived slightly warm on a hot plate. 5 skinny asparagus, small sampling of potatoes au gratin, again slightly warm. Also great deal of white pepper on the latter. Glad I didn't ask for more "freshly ground". I actually left slightly hungry!

Short ribs - OK, tasty but a bit stringly. Also asked for the au gratin potatoes. There were maybe five pieces buried in the mix somewhere.

In our opinion an OK experience but definitely nothing special and definitely not worth the money. Agree with previous reviewer - far short of Morton's or Ruth Chris, and definitely far better values out for same or better quality.

Be careful. We've been on their email list for several years and deals have in the past been good; $20 off a $50. bill but this past time they eliminated drinks which brought our food bill to bit less than $50 and they stonewalled us when we complained . I should have ordered an additional appetizer and told them to throw it away and I still would have saved $10 but I was so annoyed I just paid the bill and left. It was my fault; I should have read the fine print but I can't help, given my past experience, that they were trying to scam me. I won't go back.
