Amazing!

by Assassin024

Wow. Quite possibly the best steak I've ever had! I'm still feeling euphoric from the meal. I know what you're thinking and, no, I am not an employee =) The atmosphere was great. Dim lighting and very relaxed. At the same time it is very upscale and VERY expensive. $40 steak (which melted in my mouth) with a glass of wine and 15% gratuity rounded out a $65 bill for just myself! The staff had their noses turned a bit too far into the air for my liking, but at these prices, what do you expect? They weren't unpleasant, but definitely did not leave me with a "warm fuzzy" feeling. If you can splurge, staff be damned, this meal was excellent!

• Pros: Excellent food, great ambiance
• Cons: Expensive!

Washington DC Location!

by ccdean

J. Gilberts is a terrific place for many reasons. Their prices are less than the high end steak houses in Washington and their steaks and other menu choices are simply better than most of the others. One does not pay for a Washington name like The Palm, etc.. which is good but surely not great, and their prices are literally crazy. J. Gilbert's steaks are out of this world - that simple. Their service is good but not great, however. How someone can say J. Gilberts is ok, average or bad, is beyond me - they must work for the competition!! One would expect to find the quality of J. Gilberts in the heart of downtown - but they are 5 minutes from my McLean, VA home and is a great place, only enhanced by being so close to my house. J. Gilberts is absolutely terrific!!

• Pros: steaks are unbelievable, desserts yummy, bar very friendly, prices are good for what you get!
• Cons: service could be more consistent - not bad but could be better

The manager is awful.

The mood in the restaurant is little dark and good, and foods are some okay, some not.

If you don't get trouble, I am sure you will like here.

It was my husband's birthday which is very special day for us.

We received a birthday card with $25 off for him, but we lost it.

I called to make a reservation on his B.D. and tell the manager it is my husband's B.D., but we lost the card, even though, I would like to make him happy with the card.

The manager told me "No, we have to have the card and can't give you the discount today!"

Well, we still could have ate at the restaurant, but his attitude on the phone was so rude and hung up on me before I finish talking to him.

He need to take a more flexible attitude to make customers want to come and open to customer's request.

He was so rude and destroy our special day.

You don't want to ruin somebody's B.D., especially somebody who you love the most, do you?
