    A truly special dining experience, every dish was incredible and the wine pairing suggestion was on point. I appreciated the close attention to detail with my food allergies and was able to get several dishes modified in a way that didn’t appear to compromise on flavor! It’s a beautiful and comfortable space as well.

    We were traveling to Chicago from Dallas to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday and made reservations for Gibson's ahead of time. It was everything I thought it would be! We had the espresso martini mocktails and they were delicious, genuinely very surprised! We had gotten the chef's tasting board of steaks, and they were divine, cooked to perfection. Cody was our server and took excellent care of us- courses came out in a timely manner, was checking on us with consistency, gave great recommendations for drinks and food. Next time we are in Chicago, we will definitely be dining here!

    Tasty, authentic Indochinese cuisine in an intimate space evocative of French Indochina (warm woods, French doors, lots of bars with top-shelf liquors, lots of servers and staff, etc.). The food and service were uniformly excellent. The house cocktails were a little weird. No problem carrying on a conversation. The chocolate soufflé was perfect and the coffee was very good. The main bathrooms are up a flight of stairs, but there is one available on the main floor. Valet parking is available (and recommended, in this neighborhood).
