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

We went for a birthday dinner, and I had the Seabass, which was amazing! Highly recommend. I also need to comment that the service is always top-notch. Our server Lexxy was attentive and friendly - makes all the difference with good customer service 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!

Abby T. was the perfect server. She was kind, caring, and attentive. Abby made some great suggestions and my husband and I tried them and we were extremely pleased. Abby has an adorable personality and we feel that she's an asset to the establishment. We will definitely request her again. She's a real jewel. read more

I treated my mom to dinner on 3/29/26 and had a wonderful experience. Mei Li was our server and she was amazing!

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

Stellar service, awesome food, great ambiance. It's a tad pricey, so if your regular outing is, say... Chilis or something, you might get a shock. read more

The food is the best. I wouldn't say my steak was as tender as I would prefer. My water was never empty. My server was great. The calm and dark atmosphere makes for a great ambiance. Highly recommend for a date night! read more

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

For a high end restaurant, i definitely expected this place to be nicer and the service to be top notch. Our server was fine, but would tell us he was going to bring us specific things and then completely forget. He said he was gonna get new iced tea for us and never did. I ordered the caesar salad and it was not good at all. I'm not sure if the lettuce was expired or what was wrong with it, but something was really off. I had everyone at my table try it to see if it was just me. They said it was bad too! I am not one to return dishes EVER but i couldn't eat it, it made me feel sick. the server asked if i wanted something else and i said no, it kinda ruined my appetite. He still charged us for the entire salad. I'm not sure what restaurants usually do in this situation but for a high end restaurant, i would assume that not charging us for the $11 salad would not hurt them whatsoever. The people beside us also returned a salad so i think the lettuce was just bad. I do not think i should be charged for bad lettuce. I had only taken like 2 bites. The bacon starter was good, the mac and cheese good, and crab cakes delicious. The only other thing we didn't like was the watermelon agua fresca. We would not return to this place because the food was not out of this world and service wasn't our favorite. read more

Excellent Service! Our server was Jordan. Food was delicious as usual. It was busy with most tables around us full by the time we had our meals in front of us & still did not feel cramped or overwhelmed by other's conversations. And the chocolate cake was enormous!!! read more

My husband and I celebrated our anniversary here and it was the cutest spot! They had a little anniversary card for us as well. Feels like an old mafia meet up place but classy if that makes sense. The lighting was dim, the food was great, and the service was top notch. I would go here again in a heartbeat. read more

I wanted to give more stars bc our server was excellent. At tentative, pleasant and informative. Now to the food- party of 4 and we all ordered the filet. With a baked potato. The potato was the highlight of the meal! It was delicious - hot, loved the salty peel! The steaks (for all of us) was cooked well but they were cold. This is a steakhouse so the steaks should be perfect. And they were not. Disappointed read more

My in-laws came into town to celebrate my wife's birthday early! We got reservations before hand and were seated for 6 very quickly. Our servers were very timely throughout the night and super helpful overall! I got the tropical breeze drink which tasted amazing! It was full of fruit flavor and smoothness. I got the wood-grilled ribs for dinner and it was a great! The meat fell off the bone and the sauce tasted amazing with it! Overall amazing experience and would definitely recommend coming here! read more

Mei Li is one of the best servers I've had in a long, long time. She made our birthday dinner this evening something extra special. I had the filet and crab cake daily offering which was incredible. The cocktails were inventive and the bread is lovely. This is a perfect place to celebrate an occasion or have an intimate night out. Just be prepared for your seating area to be very dark. Each table has its own small spotlight, but it only covers most of the tabletop. Thank you Mei Li! read more

Zach was exceptional and provided excellent service and meal recommendations. (The gnocchi is grossly underrated. Sublime!) What a lovely Easter dinner! read more

We came here to celebrate my dads birthday and weren't super happy with our experience. We started off by all sharing the bacon entree which was very good. The bacon was very fatty, soft, and oily. It had amazing flavor and presentation. Then my sister got a salad which she did not like. It had a sour taste to it, my mom also tried it and did not like it. The waiter did offer to replace it which was nice but ended up still charging for the salad. The table next to us also returned a salad so I don't know if they had bad lettuce or what. Then we got their watermelon margarita which was really good! The tajin rim isn't for me but I know lots of people that like that, plus the tajin does compliment the watermelon. It even came with an actual slice of watermelon inside the drink. The bread was brought to us pretty late and it was pretty average sourdough. Then we got our food, their sour cream mashed potatoes were very smooth and creamy. I ordered the white cheddar Mac and cheese side and it was really good! It was also creamy, warm, and had a good mild flavor to it. There was an issue with organization, our waiter was very nice but forgot to bring two different refills he said he would bring. The room that we sat in was very tight and people had to squeeze past the seats to get to their table. It felt like we were pushed off to the side. Both my parent's dishes they ordered were ok but nothing they had hoped for. The pricing is pretty high but is expected for the environment. I'd be down to try it again another time to see if it can live up to some of its reviews. read more

Shirley, our server, was fantastic. She made sure that our meal was perfect in every way. She was very knowledgeable about my gluten issues and was able to recommend items that were safe to eat on the menu. read more

Consistency. This place continues to just put out really awesome product and service. The kind of dependability in restaurants that isn't common sense anymore. The menu is amazing and I have never had anything that I wouldn't wanna have for my last meal. I had the pre fixed 3 course with dessert. We all loved everything. The moment you walk in you feel you are being taken care of. It has a wonderful bar area too. My only complaint is that it was so good that I was compelled to write this review. Keep up the service and output. I am not affiliated with this place either. I just like it a lot. Not stupid expensive but definitely not cheap. read more

We had a very nice time dining here. They have a great happy hour menu to start you off. Service was quick and informative. We went for the prie fix menu and it did not disappoint. read more

Very classy restaurant for a business or romantic dinner. Steaks were great as was the service.

We visited another local 'upscale' steakhouse recently, and the food and service at J Gilbert's was remarkably better. Ambience was great, not too loud, and the food was great, and I do not use the word great casually. Great cut of beef cooked perfectly. The sides were really good as well...very rich and flavorful. This will be my new go-to upscale steakhouse. read more

Excellent! Great food, fine wine, steak cooked perfectly (not overcooked thank you) and decadent dessert. After dinner port, who could ask for more? Ashley was top notch, attentive enough to care for our needs, but never intrusive. I wish I could give six stars! read more

I had a great first experience at J Gilbert's. I ordered from the $64 Tier Prix fixe menu and the Mango Tango for my drink. I got the filet combo with the crab cake for my main. The filet cooked medium rare was perfect. The crab cake was full of yummy crab meat and without all the breading fillers you often get with crab cakes. The cheesecake was also a highlight. I'm a huge cheesecake fan and this was up there with the best I've had. The starter bread, mashed potatoes, and asparagus were all average / pretty standard in my opinion. I'm not sure if you're able to sub mashed potatoes and asparagus on the prix fixe menu but would maybe ask on my next visit. 5/5 Mango Tango 3/5 Starter bread and butter 5/5 Crab bisque 5/5 Filet 5/5 Crab cake 3/5 Mashed potatoes 3/5 Asparagus 5/5 Cheesecake The restaurant is dark and has a cool vibe. It was fairly empty on a Sunday evening. Service was prompt. I'll plan on going again and recommend if you're looking for a steakhouse date / special occasion dinner. read more
