    Onion ring appetizer and bread excellent as always. NY strip was cooked to perfection. Creamed Corn with bacon and Cauliflower Au Gratin were also excellent.

    The food and the service at J.Gilbert are always excellent. It is a reliable choice for a very pleasant evening out. My only criticism is that the decor is a bit dated; it could do with some freshening up.
