    Went for my birthday dinner last night. Food was delicious as always and service was wonderful. The menu was revised from the last time we visited and prices seemed a bit high. It was a special occasion, but it would be nice for them to have a few more affordable options to choose from. Most entrees were $35-59.00.

    JGilberts has always been our favorite steak restaurant. The steaks are always perfectly prepared. The sides are always so wonderful…. I highly recommend the creamed corn with bacon and the poblano potato au gratin. As always, the service is the best!

    Always great food … but, for my taste, there is always way too much salt added to everything on the plate.
