Was in Columbus for Christmas and was looking for a good steak. I had heard of a few good places but the reviews on J. Gilbert was what made me go there. I had made up my mind on what I was going to order beforehand. However, they offer a Prix fixe option for $73 which I did not previously know about. It included a starter, main course and dessert. For my starter I had the Maryland Crab Bisque. Honestly I was expecting this to be a tiny cup….. it was not. The flavor was rich and had chunks of crab. It paired very well with the fresh baked sourdough brought to the table. I will say the stretch of time between starter and main seemed kinda long, but is understandable as they were very busy. I feel without a starter it may have been too long to wait. As for my main I ordered the 14 ounce ribeye (Rare) which comes with two sides. It was cooked perfectly. For the sides I had the Poblano Au Gratin potatoes x2. It was way too much food. I was so full after the steak I had to get the dessert to go. I ordered the Crème Brûlée. It was packaged very nicely and tasted amazing at home. Overall, I really enjoyed my trip to J. Gilbert and can’t wait to return.

Ordered the prie fixe meal with the crab bisque, ribeye and chocolate mousse. We were initially served sourdough bread that was crunchy and hot. There were 2 sets of butter, regular butter and vegeterian butter? Both were very good. The soup was a pretty decent size. Good chunks of crabs. Delicious. Ribeye was cooked PERFECTLY. It was well seasoned and super juicy. Usually, the dead center gets cooked to medium rare and the edges are more medium. This place, the whole steak was medium rare throughout. Probably one of the best cooked ribeyes I have had. I got the cream corn and asparagus for the sides. By this time, I was so full so desserts had to go home with me. Staff were extremely nice and the atmosphere of the restaurant was great. Would definitely come here again!

Went for our anniversary. Since we booked on Open Table there was a question asking if we were celebrating anything, so I said so. We were delighted to see the table decorated and a card on the table. Everyone who came to the table told us happy anniversary. We were offered champagne or a free dessert. This was totally unexpected, this was our first time here, so it was truly such a nice touch. We chose the carrot cake for dessert, but were too full from the food we ate so we asked for it to go.

We went to J Gilbert’s back in February for Valentine’s Day and were relatively unimpressed. However, we went back again for a birthday and the food was much better. This time, we got calamari, prime rib, and crème brûlée. The calamari had some great sauce, the prime rib was perfectly cooked if not a little underseasoned, and the crème brûlée was fantastic. While I was hesitant at my last visit with the filet, the prime rib was great. The biggest flaw this place has is that it’s a pretty large time commitment to go. We went right when they opened and we were there for two and a half hours, with the last forty five minutes of that spent just waiting on the bill. Great food, but you’ll need to carve out a large chunk of your evening for a meal here.

This place is amazing! The staff was great. The GM was so delightful and welcoming. Our waitress Danny was so helpful, warm and knowledgeable. My wife got the raw oysters on a half shell and the mixed seafood grill. It was probably the best food she ever tasted! I decided to try the 3 course meal. OH MY! I was not ready to have such a decadent meal! Start to finish it was amazing! I had the 14oz ribeye! It was perfectly cooked and seasoned. The wood fire grill was so wonderful and tasty. I had asparagus as a side and I'm not joking when I say, I would go back just for the asparagus! Please give this place a try and tell them Gayle and Rich sent you.
