    Food has high highs and some more medium. Kansas City NY Strip was incredibly delicious, plain and simple. Fried calamari starter was very tasty, great crunch, but found most of the squid a tad overcooked. Gratin potatoes with the steak were rich, cheesy, creamy and addictive. Asparagus were grilled nicely but some tough woody ends should have been trimmed a speck more. Crème brûlée was simply delicious with no need to look elsewhere for better. Lastly our waiter was perfect in every way. Staff were all completely delightful. Can’t wait to go back.

    Gilbert's is usually fabulous! This time it was still good, but not up to its usual high standard. The fillet mignon's were over cooked. The waitress was efficient, but not the most pleasant. She was very quick to clean items off of the table. The bread was great as always but not enough for four people. There was not an opportunity to ask for additional bread, as it and the butter, were promptly removed without checking to see if we were finished.
