Great drinks and quick service. Waitress was attentive. High price point compared to other cocktail bars around town, but still worth it. Only real knock is they seated us 15 minutes past our reservation time.

I was with 3 girlfriends who I hadn’t seen for a while. We took a while to order and then after the bill was paid we kept talking. The staff needed our table for a large party coming in with a reservation. They were very polite and never asked us to leave but dropped hints. I appreciated their professionalism.

We had not been to J. Gilbert's for a number of years. We found we had been missing one of KC's most wonderful dining experiences. The meal was outstanding and delicious with excellent steaks cooked strictly to order. J. Gilbert's has a large wine list which features varieties of all types at many price levels. Service was very, very good and great service is hard to find these days. The physical beauty, warmth and vibe are welcoming and charming. The place reminded me of how steakhouses used to be and how they should be now for today's guests.
