  Went for the first time recently, and Brandi was a great server. She's very down-to-earth and accommodating. Anaya wasn't my server, but she made my visit fun. Faramarz was working hard in the background with a pleasant disposition. The wings were delicious! Look forward to going back soon.

  We went to J. Gilbert’s last night for a family celebration, and my ribeye somehow became the night’s main event. I ordered it medium. The first one came out well done. They remade it, which took another 15–20 minutes while my family tried offering me their sides out of pity. The second steak came out. This time a manager was standing there, looking confident that this was gonna deliver. Well done again, and the manager shook his head in frustration. So we tried a third time. Another 15–20 minutes later, steak #3 arrived. By then, everyone else at the table had finished eating. The manager actually sat down with us to watch me cut into this one. Rare. At that point we were all laughing because the whole thing had become absurd. My son joked that I might have better luck going into the kitchen and cooking it myself. I didn’t ask for another steak. I just asked them to put the same one back on the heat for a few minutes. Then we waited another 20+ minutes. The steak never came back, that manager disappeared, and I finally asked for it to be boxed to go. So after three attempts and roughly an hour of waiting, I essentially never had dinner. Our waiter, Travis, was excellent throughout and did everything he could. At the end, another manager apologized, comped the entire dinner and gave us a $100 gift card to come back. I appreciate how they handled the bill, but this was a pretty disappointing experience for a celebration dinner.

  Came in for my birthday with my family, and was welcomed by our server Travis. Introduced us perfectly to the menu, and showed us that he really knows what the restaurant serves. Super sweet and made sure I had a great experience on my birthday. The food was amazing, loved the wagyu burger and the scallops. Hopefully next time we come by, Travis will serve me again!

  J. Gilbert’s is easily one of the best spots in town for a special night out, and the wood-fired flavor really elevates the whole meal. We started with the bacon-wrapped sea scallops, and they were incredible—tender, smoky, and perfectly cooked. For the main course, the Kansas City strip had a fantastic char on the outside while staying juicy and tender inside, and the lobster tails were rich and fresh. Even the sourdough bread they bring out at the start is tough to stop eating. Our server was fantastic, making sure our drinks stayed full and offering great wine pairings throughout the evening. It misses that top mark by just a hair due to a couple of small missteps. The fries were a bit lukewarm by the time they reached the table, and the chocolate velvet cake at the end of the meal was a little too dense and heavy for our taste. It is definitely a splurge, so you expect perfection across every single dish. That said, the steaks and seafood are undeniably high quality, and I’d definitely go back for another dinner.
