I really don't care that this is a chain restaurant because the food is so good I consider it to be my favorite restaurant! Steak or salmon are my usual and of course you have to have the lobster risotto! All their cocktails are well crafted and delicious! I'm obsessed and go there for every special occasion or even I just need some steak in my life and a good night out read more

Food was excellent, ambiance was great, and David was an excellent server. I will request him again next time I come here.

we were such j gilbert fans. but our 450 dollar bill it should have been top notch. ribeye was like a strip steak. the au gratin potatoes not done and they should return to old receipe. drinks good thats it read more

Great Kansas City strip....love the mushrooms but the corn is so tasty. don't forget the potato gratin the best I've ever had. Katie was our server who was very busy with large tables, but so tentative to our service making sure we were happy with all the food the beverages coming she couldn't have been more pleasant. read more

We enjoyed our dinner at J. Gilbert's West county! Monica and Jonathan were exceptional!! Very attentive and genuinely kind. The ambiance was very nice, chic and peaceful. We will definitely go back and ask for Monica read more

Katie! was so freaking amazing! she is awesome sauce and she did such a great job! And the food was pretty good!!

Dined at restaurant with wife and daughter. I ordered the Tuna steak with house salad and wife ordered seafood grill. Both entrees were delicious. Even though we were stuffed, couldn't pass up sharing the creme brulee for dessert. Our server, David, was professional, knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly. One of the best we have ever met. While price was on the high side, the experience was well worth it. We will be back at the next special event! read more

My husband and I visited the restaurant for our anniversary. My husband had the delicious Seabass, and I had the wonderful Wagyu burger. we shared the tortilla soup and salad, and both were also delicious.Our server, Monica, was very friendly and engaging. We will be back! read more

I received an email about a special offering of prime rib on Sundays. So I called to make a reservation. (Forgot to ask who I was talking to) Our reservation was for 6:45. When we got there on Sunday, the hostess stated she didn't have us on the reservation list. They were able to seat us however. When the server came to the table we asked about the prime rib and he said they sold out within an hour of opening. Talk about poor planning on their part. We ended up staying to eat because I had received a birthday discount in my email. Our dinner tasted good but we were disappointed that the prime rib was not available. We probably will not go again. There are other steak options closer to us. Our server was excellent. read more

I came here while back to celebrate a birthday for a nice steak dinner out. Experience then was fantastic. Great service, steak was fantastic and so was wine. This time I came for a happy hour. They were very busy on Friday but we were able to grab our seats in 15 mins. They do have small options for food so we ordered them all. They were all pretty descent nothing blew my mind tho. Cocktails were fantastic. Although my server poured smoked old fashioned too fast and I saw no smoke action and I was little sad about that. Over all great experience, service and good food and I would highly recommend and definitely will be back. read more

I've never had a disappointing meal and the service is always excellent. The steaks are fantastic and they have a great wine selection. The happy hour is good as well. My wife and I typically sit at the bar. Love this place. read more

Great food, although known for steaks, I enjoy their salmon; enjoy the professional service, everyone is kind and service is fast read more

Everything at JG is first class. The atmosphere is warm and cozy. The service is as good as it gets. And the selection of food and drink is second to none. The main dishes of steak and fish are cooked to perfection. Plenty of great dishes to select from. The thing that sneaks up on you and must be mentioned are the amazing sides. Each side is individually prepared and presented as if they are the main entree. You just can't find a reason to not like your experience here. Great for business dinners or date night. This spot is a must. read more

The food is always top notch. Nice wine selection Service is great. Perfect for date night, girls night, or business dinner.

We celebrated my wife's birthday last night with friends at J Gilbert's in Des Peres. The four of us each had a steak with the trimmings. The steaks were cooked perfectly and every thing was delicious. As always the atmosphere was excellent, service was outstanding and overall an excellant value. A special shout out to our server Katie, very personable, attentive and efficient. One of the best we have had anywhere. read more

I just love everything about this place ! If I could go every week I would. The food & service is 100/10.

When I say we literally walked out of the restaurant saying amazing and screaming about when we were coming back! The night was amazing from start to finish. The decor, the smells, the gracious staff and over the top food made for a night well spent. We were celebrating a birthday and Jeff the Manager went above and beyond to make sure that the night went off without a hitch as well as our server CJ. The food was absolutely tantalizing and every steak cooked perfectly if I could give more than five stars I would. read more

I am a foodie, or I wouldn't go to expensive restaurants just for the hell of it. Let me break down the experience I had with the food. Before I start, I want to note that I ordered takeout. I ordered at 6, and was expected to pick up the food at around 7:10. When I picked it up, everything was cold. I wanted to disclaim that before I tell you about my food experience since heat can affect the overall flavor and texture of the food. I ordered: Filet mignon, Top sirloin Mashed potatoes, Lobster Mac and cheese Crab bisque Pretzel crusted onion rings Price without tip: 138.10 With 20% tip: 158.82 Filet mignon: The filet mignon was fantastic. 5/5 for flavor. Not too much seasoning but not bland whatsoever. Top sirloin: Again, very beautifully seasoned that does not hide the distinct beefy flavor. I ordered this medium, and I regret it because the top is a little dry. It was so hard to cut that it took a long time to eat. I recommend medium rare or rare for this one. Mashed potatoes: There's no gravy, but they are still seasoned and not plain. They are very rich. Lobster Mac and cheese: The Mac and cheese was good. That's about it. The cheese sauce sinks to the bottom so there is not an even coat, and the top noodles were dry and uncoated. I could still taste the lobster, which is a plus. I could not taste the truffle. Crab bisque: This is the one I was disappointed with. It tasted like there was cheese in there, and I could barely taste the crab. Crab is something I frequently order from various places, and I expect to taste it because of the expensive price. Bisque is supposed to be a little thicker, but this was so thick I could see where I put my spoon in it. However, that could be due to the fact that it was cold. Pretzel crusted onion rings: They're good! The onions themselves are a little too hard for my liking, but they're crispy and flavorful, which is the thing that matters to me personally the most. Bread: It is obvious they make their own bread. I am assuming they're attempting to make a sourdough by the taste. However, the bread looks under worked and is a pale color with a flimsy crust. This is free, but I still expect good bread for the huge price I paid for eating here. Will I come here again? Probably not. I understand the price, because meat is not cheap, but it wasn't worth it to me. The thing I enjoyed was the filet mignon, and the other dishes and sides I could do without. If you're coming here for a ribeye or filet mignon, I recommend it. I can't say when it comes to the salmon or crab cakes, because I didn't order them, but the other dishes were just okay. I gave them 3 stars because of the cold food, the bread, and the bisque. read more

Wow. Love this place. I was treated to a business lunch here and I can't say enough good things about this restaurant! We were greeted by a very cheerful hostess and seated at a nice table in front of a beautiful fireplace. The aromas of the restaurant start making you hungry right away; it smells so good in there! Service was impeccable and everyone was very nice, polite and somewhat formal with the "yes ma'am's" and "my pleasures l" with a warm smile. They really know how to make you feel special, even while you're wearing jeans. Meaning, the atmosphere is upscale but you are welcome in jeans, but I would recommend pairing that with a nice blouse and for men, a nice collared shirt and not a football jersey. Haha! We had the crabcakes appetizer and they were some of the best crabcakes I've ever had. Full of jumbo lump crab meat and no filler. Due to the lack of filler they fall apart as soon as you cut into them, but we didn't mind because they were so good and the remoulade served with them was excellent as well. They were very large mounds of crabcake too. I really wanted to order a steak, but after I saw the lobster salad with tarragon ranch on the menu, I couldn't resist. I love tarragon and it's not often represented on menus. It was seriously one of the best salads I've ever had and it had a generous amount of lobster claw on top. I would definitely order this again but I can't wait to go back to try the steaks as well. My friends really enjoyed their food also and you can see by the photos that everything was presented very well and served fresh and hot. It's a smart idea to have lunch at fine dining restaurants because you can try more menu items without breaking the bank. I will definitely be back and bring my family. We had an excellent experience here from start to finish! read more

I was pretty disappointed with our meal. This was our first time eating here, we took our parent's out for their wedding anniversary. The atmosphere is nice, safe upscale, nothing special and our waitress was fine. The issue was with the food. I ordered a filet, done medium, but it came out rare so I had to send it back. They are really leaning hard into the 'wood fired' as everything has a very wood smoke taste. Of course when my steak came back it was overdone and very wood smoke heavy. I had a house salad, mashed potatoes and au gratin cauliflower for the sides. The house salad was fantastic and honestly the best thing about the meal. The potatoes were dry and hard, the cauliflower was basically raw. The bread they served for the table looked so good and came out fresh and hot but tasted terrible. My son whispered to me asking why the bread tasted like cardboard. My son had the sliders and those were basically burnt, too heavy on the wood smoke, and basically inedible. Our parents are very nice, polite people so they stated they enjoyed their meals, although not sure if that's really how they felt. Anyway, I would not eat here again. For the price we paid $300+ I expect a delicious meal and that was certainly not what I got. read more

I'm giving this one the rare 5 star on first visit. 1st. Crab cake appetizer - I could eat these as my whole meal. Some of the best I have ever had. 2nd. Wedge salad. More than blue cheese. They said had a buttermilk but the dressing had the perfect sweetness to go with the blue cheese. Prob one of best ever had. 3rd. Bone in filet. Medium rare probably a little more rare but very good. Not bets ever had but still good 4th. CArrott cake. Delicious with a citrus that really added to flavor Highly recommend. read more

This is truly in my top 5 spots for a very good steak! The lobster Mac & cheese is simply one of the best next to Bristol's

It's a nice, upscale spot that's good for special occasions or company dinners. Premium priced food and beverage. The wait staff was very attentive, the ambiance is quiet, nicer attire, dark, could be considered romantic. I had a scallop and risotto dish in a butter sauce. The scallops were fair. So was the risotto. Had it not been Father's Day and dad liking this place, I would have chosen a different place with a better tasting similar meal and less expensive. read more

Hate to write this review but this is twice in a row where I've gone and this happened. I realize I'm a weirdo and get my steaks well done. However, when ordering it that way I expect it to be cooked WELL DONE. If you look at the picture below I'm not sure how you could think "it's close" and "won't take too much longer". Seriously?!?! This was medium at best! The food was good. My son got a filet and enjoyed it. We also had the crab cakes which were good, my steak once corrected was decent with the spicy butter, and cheesecake was good. The sides were excellent as usual and went with the Yukon mashed and the excellent corn dish they have. The food is why this is a 2 star review and not a 1. The reason the review is a 2 star and not a 4 was due to the general disinterest in my food being unsatisfactory. I realize ordering my steak well done at times creates issues but this wasn't remotely close. And they didn't seem to care. My son was done eating his entire meal before I was even able to start eating. Frustrating when dropping $100.00 plus on a random dinner at the mall. Food is terrific when cooked properly though! read more

This is such a good quiet spot with quality food and service during a non busy time. We always sit in the bar area and the bartenders have the best service and personalities. NOT somewhere I'd recommend to go on a busy night like valentines. The quality and service suffers and they're just not on their best game. When you're paying these kind of prices for your meal, you don't want it to be a lackluster experience. read more

This was the first place we've eaten for more than a year. We could not have been more pleased. We got the Cowboy Ribeye with shrimp cocktail as a starter. The shrimp were perfect. We could of had just that and been perfectly pleased. When our steak arrived with our creamed corn and sautéed mushrooms we were in food heaven. We make a fabulous steak at home but not that fabulous! Oh my gosh. If you go to J Gilbert's you will not be disappointed. Everything we had was perfectly prepared and absolutely outstanding. The staff was happy to see us and we then. We look forward to more dinners out there. read more

My friend and I stopped by mid afternoon, and we didn't realize they apparently close briefly in between lunch and dinner. They kindly still served us, and our waiter was great. Neither of us had been here before and unfortunately we just weren't wowed. For these prices, we should be. I wasn't very adventurous in ordering, so I want to return again to try something else. I got the mesquite grilled chicken breast sandwich (w/gruyere cheese and caramelized onions on a pretzel bun) with a side of sweet potato fries. The chicken was a little dry, and the fries were unexceptional. My preference is thick fries if they're made from sweet potatoes. read more

First time visiting. Salad, bread, and steaks were amazing!. The potato au gratin was to die for. The green beans, the asparagus, and the Brussels sprouts were just ok for me. Like warm temperature. Same with the desserts. The coconut cake and the apple tart did not taste fresh. Service was excellent! Beautiful restaurant too! read more

No stars would be my choice. The very first experience we had was horrible. We called in for curbside and the guy was very condescending and over-talking for some reason. We requested the manager who apologized and handled everything... until the next call... because of the horrible experience, we asked for the manager (Chris) to avoid the mishap.... His response "I can't talk to you every time you wanna order" Very nice nasty might I add! It made sense at that moment why the employee was rude... because the manager is! SMH I understand if you're backed up and can't...but there's a WAY to say everything. That was the wrong way. We will take our business back to Stoney River and Ruth Chris... just as busy but they know how to address their customers. My family wanted to go after a gathering... I suggested against and we went to Bravo!! Never again will I spend a dime here. read more

Always an excellent experience at Jgilberts. I order the maple plank roasted salmon, salted baked potato and green beans all of the time and it never disappoints. The sourdough bread and pretzel crusted onion rings are always tasty! read more

Food is very good and the place has a nice ambiance. The mushroom risotto is excellent. And the poblano au gratin is the best I've ever had.

Excellent food in a lovely environment. Very good staff at all levels- friendly & accommodating! Great for any or all occasions. Welcoming to all. read more

The service is good, no offense but the food is basic. they offer a Wagu Burger and the meat is not even Wagu. The steak was pretty low Mid.

Our daughter gave us a gift card to this restaurant so on August 17th we celebrated our 28th wedding anniversary. The two hostess were very nice and even though we were 15 early for our reservation they went ahead and seated us. Our server was Monica and she was simply outstanding. She explained the concept behind the restaurant told us about the wood fired stakes. She checked on us very often, which was not too little or too much. I personally like a server that engages me as I believe this is part of the whole dining experience. Well, Monica hit a grand slam! ! Prior to our meals, they brought out bread. Even though I don't need the carbs it was really good. Our food came and looked outstanding. I loved the heavy china they served us on. I ordered the sirloin and my wife had the filet migon. Both were cooked to our liking. My sides where Yukon mashed otatoes and wild mushroom Risotto. My wife had the salted baked potato and grilled asparagus. The sides were very good, however, the mashed potatoes were a little dry. Monica brought me extra butter and all was well. During her visit the manager stop by to wish us a happy anniversary. Will come in with a gift card and a $20 coupon that our daughter had given us, however, we didn't realize the coupon had expired. Since it was her anniversary the manager went ahead and took off $25. It was a great evening and I would highly recommend J. Gilbert's, and we definitely will return. By the way, did I mention how great Monica did as our server? :-) read more

Me and my husband decided to treat ourselves to a nice dinner and we were not disappointed! First the ambiance was very nice and romantic - (perfect high end date night). The food was just simply delicious and served to perfection! Our waiter Don was magnificent - his knowledge of the menu and wine to pair was beyond our expectations. An easy 5 star rating - if you haven't been - GO! read more

I always manage to have a good meal here. While my steak was not cooked to order, it was still good. Our service was good as well.

Only regret was not getting the 32oz cowboy ribeye- great birthday dinner. Service was spot on- water is my pet peeve and my glass never got empty. Great value for what it is, not a Palm or Uncle Jacks but a really nice upscale great food restaurant. Delicious ribeye perfectly cooked, great sides and nice cocktails, we also had the wagyu burger that was spot on. Bonus was the absolutely perfect Creme Brûlée for dessert- no kidding one of the best I've had. read more
