J. Gilbert's Wood-Fired Steaks & Seafood Glastonbury East Hartford Reviews from The Last Year
Had a good waitress, nice vibe.
It was a birthday, the waitress was great at everything. Not her fault but we were not allowed to bring a cake. Management called THE DAY OF our reservation so the $100 cake we bought was a waste, even after we offered to still buy dessert from the restaurant. But overall, the most disappointing part was being charged $3 for barbecue sauce....
Tonight was my second time dining at J Gilbert's.
I was also here three years ago for a birthday celebration. J Gilbert's is a fine dining establishment. Their waitstaff are throughly trained on the ins and outs of their menu. I have previously heard a rumor, that the waitstaff at J Gilbert are employed there full time, unlike at other restaurants. We were a party of six, again here for a celebration. We had a reservation for 4 o'clock. It was very busy, I would highly advise a reservation. We were seated quickly. Alex was our waiter. I got the Spicy Blackberry Margarita. This was so tasty, delicious with a kick of spicy from actual jalapeños! We got a large serving of the blue cheese potato chips. These are very thinly cut and once they were brought out, the server poured blue cheese sauce all over them. These are crispy, crunchy and pretty addictive! There were so many chips that the six of us couldn't finish them. For my meal I got the crab cakes, these came with asparagus and mashed potatoes as the sides. The crab cakes were very tender and fresh, they would fall apart with not a lot of effort. Unfortunately they were a bit too salty for me. I loved the mashed potatoes, they had a bit of texture, and were very delicious. The asparagus were tender and I ate them all the way through the end. Everyone was very happy with their meals. There were stakes and seafood going around the table. Whenever I see creme brûlée on a menu and I'm the mood for something sweet, I don't need to know about the other options. Creme Brûlée it was! it was so satisfying breaking that golden, glass-like sugar coat, to reveal that creamy, dreamy vanilla goodness! And the best part? I didn't have to share! We were all very satisfied with our dinner at J Gilbert's. From the service to the drinks to the main course and of course the desserts!
i have to say our last dinner was very disappointing.
When you pay $180 for two to eat out you expect better and in the past we always had received better. The lump crab cakes didn't disappoint but the meals did. I had the 8 ounce filet which was not cooked as I had ordered, the salted baked potato was small, and the green beans with pecans were so salty I couldn't even eat them. My husband liked his ribs, but he also complained about the green beans being too salty. He also said the mash potatoes were flavorless.
Always a delicious meal no matter what I try.
Some of the best crab cakes I've had in my life, and I've had many! The service is exceptional. Have not had a bad waiter/waitress here yet. Is something is wrong they make it right. Homey atmosphere with a big field stone fireplace.
This is my second (1st 6 yrs ago) and hubs first time here.
We are house hunting in the area and finally had a night without children so we decided to treat ourselves. The best service and food hands down. I never order an old fashioned out for many years because it is always done wrong. The bartender Mike made it perfectly! (They have a smoked version on the menu, looks great, but not for me.) he hd amazing recommendations once he got an idea of what we liked and was very attentive. The whole restaurant is very well set up and lovely fireplace in the middle of the dining area. We spent more than we would normally( we have not been able to go out more than twice in 2 years), but our first time out in many years it was worth it!! If we move here I told my husband we need to come here every few months and I'll do whatever to save up so we can. It was the best time! (We are slow dining folks that like to take an hour for each course minimum)
Tuna is back for lent
Good tuna. Best shrimp cocktail in area, 5 plump large shrimp cooked and chilled. Still requires reservations even for the bar tables.
J Gilbert's used to be my absolute favorite restaurant but
J Gilbert's used to be my absolute favorite restaurant but during/after Covid I felt like the service and quality declined. Prices went up and I felt like it was no longer worth going after having a few poor experiences. I will admit I still went a few times per year with friends to grab drinks or a snack at the bar but the desire of sitting down and enjoying a nice dinner lost its appeal for me. Fast forward to more recently and I felt it was time to give them another chance. Me and a friend went on a Tuesday night and it was PACKED. We arrived about 10-15 minutes early for our reservation so we hung out in the lobby while we waited for our table. Unfortunately we weren't sat until about 15 minutes after our actual reservation. Not a huge deal but had we known that they were running behind we would have grabbed a drink at the bar to kill some time. I won't mention him by name in case he was just having a bad night, maybe due to how busy it was in the restaurant, but our server seemed very cold and short with us. Definitely not the happy, friendly service I would expect here. Everything was still brought out promptly so no issue there. Drinks were amazing as always. I ordered a special steak they were offering - I believe it was 40 day dry aged. It was good but I think I would have been happy with the Kansas City strip I would typically get for about $20 less. Sides seemed larger than I remember which was nice. Overall we had a nice evening and enjoyed our food. The not so great service and increasing prices make this more of a 3.5 star review but rounding up for the ambiance, killer manhattans, and good time in general. I wish it was still a 5 star, near perfect experience like it used to be but unfortunately I think those days are gone.
We have many great steakhouses here in Wisconsin, but my
We have many great steakhouses here in Wisconsin, but my recent experience at J Gilbert's while visiting my sister in Connecticut, proved to be one of the best I've ever been to. From the impeccable service, the beautiful decor and ambiance, to the outstanding food I can only say great things about this restaurant. The only negative thing about my experience is knowing that I'll need to travel back to Glastonbury to visit again! Bravo J Gilbert's.
Great dinner out!
Excellent service , very personable. Alec was a wonderful host for us. Management was present and available. We had a great time and will be back soon.
A little disappointed in the communication.
I called a couple weeks ago for reservations. I was given the email. Emailed 1/14, never received a response. Called again and now told there's nothing for the date I wanted. What's the point of having an email, if you don't get back to anyone.
Great place for special occasions and going on a date too.
I had a great experience all around
[Very delayed review] This is straight up one of the best
[Very delayed review] This is straight up one of the best meals you can get in Connecticut. The "wood-fire" proclaimed in the name of the restaurant is ever-present in the perfectly grilled ribeye. Every bite was made me want hug the chef. The sides were far from boring. Perfectly made green beans along with the potatoes that had a bit of a kick from the poblano. I'm going to make an effort to return when I'm back in CT.
You won’t be disappointed.
In my opinion J Gilberts never disappoints! They always have the best cooked steaks to order and the creamed corn is by far the absolute best I’ve ever experienced! The wait staff is top notch and always friendly and courteous.
Not So Special
Between the hype, the menu, and the reviews, we were expecting a spectacular meal. Appetizers were good. The much-touted fried onions were tasty, but the thick cut took away from overall flavor. There were 11 of us and three entrees had to be returned. 2 chicken dinners were undercooked and a steak overcooked. They were readily replaced and something taken off the bill, 6 it made what was supposed to be a family celebration awkward. No one knew whether to keep eating or stop while our companions waited for replacement meals. And even some of the other entrees were just ok. Crab cakes were bland and salmon a bit too sweet. On the plus side, bread was wonderful, and service was impeccable. We were treated well. But we go to restaurants for the food and we expected better.
An absolute gem and must-visit spot outside of Hartford!
Best restaurant in Connecticut. We started with date nights and special occasions and now we are twice a month if not more. You can’t beat this. Trip Advisor portrays other steakhouses as competition- and maybe they are in theory- but not in actuality. This place has NO competition. The food is fantastic but the servers are a cut above any other place I’ve ever dined. The management staff is always present and interacting with tables and do not accept anything but perfection. This is the best run restaurant I have ever seen short of the food network. We have never had a bad experience. If you haven’t dined here, put it on your bucket list, it’s and absolute must-visit spot.
Food Great - Too much salt and dining room way too COLD!!!
Went here because it is one of our favorite restaurants with great food and superb service! However, they use too much salt and we were drinking water all night long! Additionally, their dining room is always extremely cold, even with a sweater on! Obviously, management doesn’t care about customer comfort or controllable expenses!!!
Too good to only go once!
Great steak house restaurant! Fantastic meals and great bar offerings! We had a gift certificate for a birthday dinner, and they did not disappoint! The meals were amazing and the bar drinks were just as good!
My Happy Happy Birthday Meal
Four of us visited J. Gilbert's yesterday evening for dinner. For two of us this was our initial visit (it will not be our last). It was crowded for a Monday night and for good reason. The place is electric. The atmosphere, quality of (locally sourced) food and drink, and service were all excellent. Our server Alec was professional and attentive, always helpful and aware but never once obtrusive. Alec possesses a terrific knowledge of the menu, he was very helpful with suggestions, and he made our visit all the more enjoyable. We started with the blue cheese potato chips and the oven warm bread roll. I almost filled up on those items alone. The four meals were all "chef's kiss" delicious. I had the 8 oz. center cut filet with sides of Yukon mashed potatoes and creamed corn with bacon bits. It was without question one of the better meals I have enjoyed in quite some time. Other entrees ordered were the jumbo cooked crab cakes and two of the filet combos. Everyone agreed that they absolutely loved their chosen dishes. And on Monday nights J. Gilbert's does a very generous bottled wine promotion that we very happily took advantage of. Great spot, great service, great food and drink. What more could a customer ask for?
