Excellent spot in Glastonbury for a nice steak dinner. Very friendly and attentive staff. They had a salad and steak split between two plates for no extra charge, and they sent us home with a slice of carrot cake for free.

The house sourdough bread was delicious . The pastrami butter (flavored with pastrami seasonings) was fascinating and quite good.

The wedge salad was very good. The maple glazed bacon was amazing, and the blue cheese dressing had a great flavor – not too funky.

The filet mignon was phenomenal. Cooked perfectly, tender, and excellent flavor from the dry aging and wood-fired grill. The au gratin potatoes and creamed corn were both wonderful sides.

Carrot cake isn’t usually my thing, but it was tasty. Nice flavor and rich cream cheese frosting.

The mixed seafood grill is my favorite entree, along with 2 sides. It is perfect every time. A slice of the best carrot cake I’ve ever tasted along with a cappuccino topped off my birthday celebration. Our server Taylor was attentive and personable as well.

My 2nd time there and they did not really dissappoint except I would appreciate better appetizers. We got the fresh raw oysters which were not at all worth it. Very small oysters, not too tasty. We also got the calamari which was very well seasoned but lacks due to my prefrence of having calamari with a side of marinara that was not included and also the calamari being alittle on the cold side. The steaks we got made up for everything. Very good with the wood fire taste with a good proportion. I do wish they had a baked sweet potatoe side but I settled for the sweet potatoe fries. Note not all thier sides were not mentioned on the menue so make sure to ask for all the options. The waiter was great and knowledgeable about the menu, drinks so great job. I would realy say the place is a great experience but as I fronted the bill I will admit the place is abit over priced. Worth it, but definitely makes you think again about patronizing the establishment on a frequent repeat. I guess if you skip the appetizers and just get the meals with a bottle of wine will make out for a better budget than getting the mixed cocktails (2 each), 2 apps, and 2 meals to equal alittle over $300 with tip included. Easy parking, great atmosphere, friendly staff. They live up to thier rankings for steak its just the sides and apps that can improve but nevertheless solid enough except for the oysters. Its a steak place so stick to what they are known for.

We had a great experience there. As soon as we made it to the plaza, we went to the bookstore nearby, and enjoyed their establishment too while we waited for the time our reservation was getting close. Once we found a nearby parking spot, we entered the place and were very well greeted. And since out table was bot ready yet, we decided to wait by the bar to have some drinks. I had a “Smoked Old Fashion,” that was amazing and delicious. After 30 mins we were lead to our table. Our waiter was really knowledgeable of the menu and the ingredients of the food. Their beef and selection is amazing. A d all their ingredients are fresh. They even churn their own butter. The entire decoration, music and ambiance makes it both family oriented and relaxing for couples, or as a single person. It was a really good experience. We will be back.

Came here for an anniversary dinner with my wife. Staff was friendly and helped us choose what to order. Ambiance was ideal. The lights were set dim and there was a candlelight at each table. Because it was our anniversary our table was decorated with confetti and hearts. which was so cute. We Started off with a glass of wine, each and bread and butter as an appetizer . For dinner ,My wife got filet mignon with mac & cheese, and I got a flat iron steak with crispy fried onions. For dessert, they brought our complementary homemade ice cream for us. Prices are on the more expensive end here. The food was good to me, but not worth the price.

We had a great meal on Sunday night and service was excellent. We ordered oysters (very fresh), beef carpaccio ( recommended by the waiter) – absolutely delicious. For entrees we got mixed seafood and fillet mignon , both were cooked to perfection. Mixed seafood included a crab cake that was far the best I have had.
J. Gilbert’s never disappoints. Highly recommend for special occasion or just dinner date

What stood out the most to me was the service. Our waiter was excellent and I will edit this once I remember his name.

Everyone has had great food before but it’s rare, IMO, to have great food coupled with equal or superior service.

As for the food, I opted for the “Cowboy Cut” ribeye and it most certainly did not disappoint. I opted for truffle butter, green beans with pecans and the mac & cheese. All dinner items were delicious and I would most certainly order them again and recommend them to others.

For dessert, I opted for the crème brûlée and of course, it did not disappoint. I’ve never had a creme brûlée “boat” but that’s what you get here, trust me, it’s worth it.

There were four of us dining, we all ordered the cowboy cut ribeye steak and there was no steak left on anyone’s plate. It’s the kind of steak where you may feel 18oz is too much, but your taste buds realize it’s probably not enough.

The atmosphere, although appointed nicely, was “tight quarters” seating… I think maybe it’s considered “intimate seating” but at 5”10, 230lb, I didn’t need intimate seating, especially after a well enjoyed meal. But, it certainly doesn’t detract from my positive experience, just being honest about it.

Overall, everything was fantastic and I recommend splurging if you’re in town or live here (I’m here for business).

UPDATE: 2nd visit Jan 17 equally as wonderful. At the table… french onion soup, chicken wings, babyback ribs, cream corn, lamb chops, house made sorbet. To go…, lots of ribs from the full rack served, carrot cake and 24-layer chocolate cake – a 4 day supply!

Our Christmas pre fix dinner 2025 was fabulous from our first sip to our last bite. Server Jacqueline was very attentive and made our experience even better. But the real star is the food! Kudos to the chef and kitchen staff for a remarkable meal! Literally everything was prepared perfectly with quality ingredients. Never have I had a pork rib chop melt in my mouth and it was seasoned so perfectly with that subtle wood fired delishisness. It was like eating beef tenderloin! How do they do that?! It was Iberico pork and I can see why they call it the Wagyu of pork! We also enjoyed Crab cakes, crab bisque, scallops with lobster rissoto and a serving of creme brulee for two, although hubby would argue was for one. Too full for dessert, my layered carrot cake took the ride home with us along side of a hearty serving of augratin style cauliflower, green beans and the rest of my pork! Highly recommed this gem in Glastonbury. Well worth the 45 min drive for us. We’ll be back soon!

There’s a reason I consider this my favorite restaurant of all time. I have gone numerous times over the past few years, and every single time has been an incredible. Pretty much everything they make, they nail it every single time. Especially when it comes to the steak dinners. Incredible place, highly recommend to anyone that hasn’t tried this place yet!

Our first time in this restaurant. We came to celebrate my husband’s birthday and he loved the experience. Our waiter Zac was so knowledgeable and really helped us choose foods we fell in love with. All his recommendations were 10/10. The food was delicious, great temperature, and well presented. This is now our top restaurant for special occasions. Also meals came with a side which added to our food experience. The steaks were cooked to perfection and the cut recommend to me was perfect.
