   J. Gilbert’s offers a warm, inviting atmosphere, but unfortunately, the food didn’t quite live up to expectations. The appetizers were underwhelming—while the charcuterie board was a steep $26, the rest of the options didn’t justify their price tags. For example, the blue cheese potato chips at $16 felt overpriced for what they were. The drinks were standard fare—smoked old fashioneds and seasonal assortments that got the job done but weren’t particularly memorable. For my entrée, I ordered the 18-ounce bone-in ribeye cowboy cut, served with mashed potatoes and poblano au gratin potatoes. The steak itself was average at best, and after a few bites, I found myself reaching for salt and pepper, as it lacked seasoning. The mashed potatoes were flavorful, but the poblano au gratin was a complete miss—bland, under-seasoned, and bordering on undercooked. The layered presentation, resembling lasagna, didn’t do it any favors either. After two bites, I gave up on it entirely. My partner ordered the filet mignon with asparagus and the same au gratin potatoes, and after one bite, she pushed them aside as well. Service was solid—the waiter was attentive and friendly throughout the meal. However, we opted to skip dessert. At nearly $200 for the meal, I couldn’t help but feel that we could have had a much better dining experience elsewhere for the same price. While I appreciate trying new places, this visit was more disappointing than memorable. Would I return? No.

    We did the three course meal for a reasonable price and our waiter was fantastic. Great food and great service. The smoked old fashion was really tasty as well.
