    Gilbert's recently changed their menu a bit. We tried the new prime rib egg roll appetizer, very tasty. We had Wagyu burgers and creamed corn with bacon. All was excellent and service was attentive. Recommend Gilbert's

    Joan, our server, was fabulous! We are a group of friends who dine at J. Gilberts regularly and have had Joan as our server previously. She is superb! Attentive while also accommodating our pace of dining.

    Our server Alban was great. He answered questions related to the menu and helped decide what was best to please. His demeanor was pleasant and the food was excellent. We were very pleased with the service, quality of the meal, and look forward to returning to J. Gilberts in the near future.

    Unfortunately we had a 7:15 pm reservation but the kitchen closed at 8:30 pm! Was not enough time to get our entire order the way we wanted! Our server did the best he could and the manager was very apologetic, but neither one of them could get my crab cakes or mashed potatoes or the crab soup I ordered to go! That was very disappointing! But the rest of the meal was delicious!

    Easter brunch was outstanding! There were too many options, I tried to get some of everything, no chance! I'll be back for sure.
