Karen was exceptional. We enjoyed a birthday dinner. Thank you for the wonderful experience!

Such an amazing experience! Kathy was an amazing server, so sweet! The food was amazing, would 10/10 recommend!

Whoa! Been coming here for years and this place STILL delivers incredible food with impeccable service! Located near Old Overland Park, J. Gilbert offers patrons fantastic food and dining options in a warm and inviting atmosphere, perfect for intimate dining with loved ones or friends. Service is some of the best I've seen in KC and the menu items are "to die for." Every time I go, I tell myself I'm going to try something new off the menu, but then the Seafood Mixed Grill calls me again. It's incredible and I get it every time. However, one day I'll explore other options from their wide variety. One cannot go wrong at J. Gilbert's....to say I'll be back is an understatement. read more

A disappointment. We came here because we were recommended it by a friend who said it was one of the best steaks. The steaks we had were good. Everything else was mediocre. The service was slow; our server, Michael, never filled our waters, cared more about the alcohol sales, and our wait for everything was long. All the sides were simple, and the Mac and cheese felt like it was baking under a heat lamp for hours. The French onion dip was forgotten about and we had to remind the server about it, thus coming out way late. One highlight was the Cesar salad. That was delicious. Would not recommend for the price, because if you're paying $60+ for a steak, you can find someplace better. read more

Surprised my husband for his birthday dinner at J Gilbert's and it's now in our "great date places" list. It's dimly lit - which sets the mood for a romantic evening. Although they have an extensive wine and drink menu, we opted for a dry evening. He started with 3 oysters which were medium sized and served with a unique onion Champaign accompaniment. For our entrees, he selected the seafood mixed grill which allowed sampling multiple seafood options. The fire-kiss on the shrimp and asparagus was amazing. The crap cake was almost entirely crab, which was divine. I selected the sockeye salmon special (actually ordered the last one they had!) with green beans and whipped potatoes. The salmon was incredible served with a lemon butter. (The sockeye was more flavorful than the non-sockeye served with the seafood mix grill). Loved the green beans with roasted pecans! Because it was his birthday, he was given a free desert and selected the crème brûlée. It was perfect - exactly as expected with a classic crème brûlée. I'd read and seen pictures of the 24 layer chocolate cake and had to get one to go (we were way too full!). Obviously, it's a huge slice (no joke, probably weighed nearly 2 pounds) and can easily serve 4. It is so moist and rich! It's a must try! read more

Very friendly great staff always willing to do something unique outside the normal realm of what's on the menu incredibly attentive even when they're busy they're very helpful with bringing the free bread which is honestly amazing. It's sourdough if you like that some of these pictures might be a little bit old because I don't think they have the bacon anymore. Very upscale, nice ambience but the prices are quite reasonable for happy hour until 630. read more

I enjoyed my dining experience,our server Rich he is a treasure! We sat in a booth in the bar area. I truly enjoyed my pineapple martini, had 2! My appetizer was fresh oysters on the half shell! They were so fresh I could still taste that hint of ocean water! What a treat living I. The Midwest and you get that taste of ocean it's a blissful reminder of being by the ocean. My cauliflower au gratin the hit of the sides. Really good and cheesy pure comfort food. Grilled seafood plate had an assortment shrimp crab cake scallops, and salmon. Dessert was the crème brûlée and apple Blondie. read more

As we make our rounds at all the top steak restaurants in the KC area, this one finally on our list. This one is worth a trip. To start off. Great dark steak house environment. Dark Leather and wood. The rich atmosphere and smell of cooking meat. Fresh bread to the table. Wedge salad was excellent. Then I get the KC strip which was cooked perfectly. It didn't taste aged for very long if at all. There's no advertisement about that and usually steak joints rave about their aging. This is a key factor in why a steak is premium and fetches a premium price. Aging makes a massive difference. I was pleased that I got some sides with my steak. I had mashed potatoes and asparagus. Creme Brulée for dessert. Everything was excellent. Service was top notch as you would expect. read more

We went here for my birthday and it was delightful. They thoughtfully left a card on the table and gave a free dessert. Three of us had their delectable crab bisque and one a wedge salad. The steaks are so very good! I could eat that every day. Service was really wonderful- friendly people who actually seemed happy to be a part of the celebration. [I'm not kidding myself, they're paid to be like that, but it's still nice.] it was a lovely evening in a quiet restaurant, spent with family. It's one of my folk's favorite places and I can certainly see why. Even the small things are great- the whipped potatoes exceeded expectations. I got the prix fixe menu and my very favorite dessert, a wonderful crème brûlée. However, we also got a delicious, beautiful slice of chocolate cake. Everything combined made for just a lovely dinner. read more

J. Gilbert's Wood-Fired Steaks & Seafood - Kansas City Strip 14 oz. - Steakhouses Near Me - Overland Park, Kansas

I learned on our most recent visit, which was on a Friday, that on most Fridays & Saturdays when they get extra busy, they open up 2 other dining rooms. They are brighter than the main dining areas, but they also lack the warmth and comfort of them too unfortunately. It kinda felt like we were in their second tier area. The food was still wonderful and our server Mei Lei was fabulous, but I wish I'd been told about where we were being seated when I made the reservation. In the future, I will request not to sit there. It's not even laid out well- I was bumped into 3 times by staff members getting water pitchers. read more

My review is for the Prime Rib. I love Prime Rib and consider myself a very knowledgeable person on the subject. Prime Rib is what I contributed to the cookbook produced by my kindergarten class back in the '60's. I know Prime Rib. Just take it off the menu. I ordered the 12oz prime rib medium. What I received was an over cooked abomination about 3/8ths of an inch thick. The most frustrating part of the experience was, I told the waiter this was my second attempt at Prime Rib at J. Gilbert's. I admitted I was one of the first customers when they introduced it to the menu and the experience was terrible. I chocked it up to being new to the menu so here's your chance to change my opinion. Bottom line. The meat was overcooked. Heat lamp exposed and nowhere near 12 ounces. It was very tender, I'll give it that. The au jus was not very flavorful. Overall our party of 12 had a great time and everyone enjoyed their food. No complaints on the steaks, appetizers or desserts. I'm simply addressing the Prime Rib offering. It misses the mark in my humble opinion. Respectfully submitted. Go back to steaks. read more

I love this place! My wife and I used to come here every couple months when we are in KC. Lately, it has fallen out of rotation for some reason. I am glad to come back and try it again. The restaurant is dark and quiet inside. Good for date night or a romantic dinner. There is a fireplace that is super cozy and a nice bar. I would make a reservation. I have seen this place very full. On Monday you might be able to sneak in without one though. The service has always been good. Just this last time our waiter was great! He was very nice and knowledgeable about the menu. For instance, my wife doesn't like rosemary and he was able to steer her around side dishes and entrees and recommend alternatives. No going back and forth to the kitchen to ask what's in the food. It's nice when the wait staff know what they are serving. I typically get the KC strip off the prix fixe menu and it's always been cooked to the right temp and the taste is great. I like the wood fired grill they use and it imparts a nice smoky flavor on the food. My wife likes the salmon for the same reasons. The cocktails are pretty good here too. I would get the smoked old fashioned or the beast of bourbon, both standouts for me. If you don't like bourbon I've gotten dirty martinis here and they were really good as well. You might try an espresso martini if that is more your style. The side dishes we have tried have been very tasty, but to be honest there's so much food to eat I usually take them home and eat them the next day. Gotta make choices to get to the dessert! If you get dessert, get the chocolate cake with raspberry ice cream. It's so good. I usually try to leave room for it. Overall, this place is very good. It's on the more expensive side but if that doesn't bother you then try it out. read more

Food is great as always. Meili is a rock star server! Always have the best time here.

We went to J. Gilbert's for a special occasion - my mom's birthday. The food was, as always, excellent, and the ambiance is warm and inviting. It's one of those places that feels perfect for a celebration. That said, the service experience was disappointing tonight. We waited over an hour and ten minutes for our entrees, which really took away from the evening. Working in the restaurant industry myself, I understand that average ticket times are around 20 minutes, so this felt excessive - especially for a special occasion. What made it more frustrating was the lack of communication. Our server wasn't checking in, the table wasn't being cleared, and no one offered additional bread or updates about our food. I even had to ask about our appetizer to make sure it was coming. Overall, the food and atmosphere were great as usual, but the pacing and attentiveness of service really missed the mark tonight. I'd love to see the kitchen and service team tighten up timing and communication - it would make the experience worthy of the quality the restaurant is known for. Unfortunately, I am writing this review because this isn't the first time this happened, but the second time IN A ROW. Even worse, the previous time we were here, we also went for a special occasion. read more

Karen was very attentive and helped us celebrate my moms birthday! We reserved a seat in the bar and had a great time! Thank you Karen!

I typically love J Gilbert's especially for a special occasion. We went tonight for my birthday and beginning of KC restaurant week. Typically this restaurant has top tier everything but tonight it was sadly off. Service was non existent and not very helpful. We felt rushed by our bill arriving with still half a bottle wine still to finish and full desserts. Sides were precooked and seemed like they had been sitting under the warmer for quite some time. When we got to dessert, some of the ice creams severed along with he velvet chocolate cake were melted by the time they made to our table. I honestly don't like writing this review but if this was my first experience I would not be back. read more

We came here for restaurant week and were very pleased! My boyfriend got the restaurant week menu which was a soup or salad, entree, and dessert. He got the blue cheese wedge salad, 12oz KC Strip, and horchata bread pudding. All of the items were good but the horchata bread pudding was great! MeiLi, our server, even gave us an extra to take home because we liked it so much. She was fantastic and attentive the whole meal. I got the wood fire ribs and they were very good. A whole slab with fries and cream corn. Great overall meal and experience. We will definitely be back! read more

Awesome food. Keigan did a great job taking care of us. Best steak house in KC! Highly recommend!

I've eaten here at J Gilbert's several times and enjoyed each visit. The food is fantastic and the service is usually equally great. However, on this visit, our server, while friendly and quick with suggestions, was a little behind on tonight's service. I ordered the three course meal and a glass of wine. My first course was the French Onion soup. It was delicious, but I had barely started eating it when my entree, Aussie Lamb Rack, arrived. As I was taking my last bite of lamb, the wines I had ordered to go with the lamb, arrived. So much for timing. Oh, well, the place is still warm and inviting. A great place to enjoy delicious food. read more

Let me start off by saying the staff and ambiance of the restaurant were fantastic! It's was dimly lit and perfect for a date night. Our server was very attentive and answered all our questions, esp since it was my first time there. To keep it safe, I ordered the filet mignon with mashed potatoes and creamed corn. I also has the bisque as an appetizer because why not right? Unfortunately I found the bisque a bit too salty for my preference. Very creamy, great flavor just a bit salty. The filet was cooked to my preference, which was medium rare and the mashed potatoes paired perfectly. I wasn't a huge fan of th3 creamed corn, again a bit salty for my taste. Overall, I suggest why not give it a try at least once. The steak was great, hopefully you're not too salt sensitive like me! read more

Our server Alex was absolutely delightful! Really went into detail when we had questions about the menu. I really liked the vibe that was set at the place, really great for a date night. We both had the grand prix and the steak was amazing. I got the crab cake to try something new, but personally I didn't find it as exciting as the steak. I had a hard time deciding which dessert to eat but glad we picked on the apple and the chocolate raspberry cake. Both very easy to eat and wasn't as heavy as I thought. Would come back again to try that coconut cake! read more
