Best Steak Restaurants in Waldo

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at McCormick & Schmick’s on a busy Friday night. We were seated promptly in a comfy booth. We always enjoy the atmosphere of this restaurant with its lovely, backlit stained glass dome, beautiful deck/Asian inspired stain glass screen that separates the bar areas and the dining area, and large, Chihuly-like glass vases set on the second level surround. Even better than the ambiance, the food did not disappoint. We were both attracted to seafood pasta. My husband loved the scampi pasta and it looked decilious. I went on The Voyage - the lobster pasta plus a nicely made Caesar salad. Our seafood and pasta were perfectly cooked. If the pasta isn’t fresh, it comes very close and was a perfect al dente. Our server, Augustine, took great care of us without being intrusive. He made sure I liked anchovies when I ordered the Caesar (I do!) and kindly provided additional Parmesan cheese when we requested it. A great date night on the Plaza!

This our 3rd trip to Ocean Prime celebrating our anniversary. Every time it has been excellent. Bree was our server and she was great! We both started with drinks. I tried the Berries n Bubbles and my husband had the Smoked Old Fashioned. I had the Lobster Bisque to start, and it was delicious. For our main entrees, I had the Wagyu filet and he had the Rib Eye. Both were cooked to perfection. We shared the Smoked Gouda tater tots and the corn. Since it was our anniversary we got to pick a dessert on the house. We have a tradition going back to the beginning of our marriage to always pick the creme brulee. And it was outstanding as well.

For us, J. Gilbert's is a destination restaurant. The food, service, and ambiance are always outstanding.

Everything was as always fabulous. The only improvements that I could suggest would be for the server to ask if you’d been there before before the thoughtful description of the menu . Also and this will be increasingly more important as our society continues to to age . Add more handicapped spaces and mark the pavement . Speaking for mature drivers we tend to stay within the lines if they exist .

This was a beautiful experience! The dogs was incredible. As we got seated they gave us a rose for our anniversary. The waitress was very attentive and pointed out favorites on the menu. The ambience really sets this restaurant apart! The music was wonderful and made the experience memorable! We even got a free dessert for our anniversary. I would highly recommend this restaurant! We will definitely come back.
