It's always great to try happy hour deals before spending lots of time and money at a place you may not really like. I decided to try HAPPY Hour at The Gibson. It was a very pleasant experience. The ambiance is sassy and classy, but completely comfortable. The fresh flowers for decor gave it a nice touch. It's cozy with a variety of seating. Chandeliers and lighting fixtures are beautiful. The inside of the restaurant is clean. The bar area is stylish and the outdoor patio is a fun atmosphere. The staff is very friendly and the bartender Will was super nice. He was so helpful and took good care of us. The prices were reasonable and the happy hour menu selections were good. ON...Thirsty Thursday's they offer Martini Specials. I must admit I love the theme for Thursdays! The raspberry martini was delicious. The fresh raspberries and flavor is perfect. The lemon drop martini was just ok. It needed more lemon flavor. The charcuterie board was fabulous. It was a perfect combination of fruit, meat and cheeses. Minus the fresh mozzarella, they need to switch that out. The deviled eggs were great for sharing. Overall I enjoyed the happy hour experience. I will visit again soon to try more cocktails and food items. I left feeling satisfied and happy! read more

This review is of the Gibson happy hour. I was really excited to go to this happy hour. The prices for the food and drinks and options for Martinis for Thirsty Thursday was just what I was looking for. The service was exceptional. As soon as I arrived the server had seated my friends and suggested the raspberry martini and took my order. We also decided to get the deviled eggs and charcuterie board for food. The taste martini was strong, tasty, and delicious. I had to get a second one. The deviled eggs and charcuterie board were both good. My only advice is to remove the mozzarella cheese off of the charcuterie board. The ambiance is superb. The inside and outside is high end old Hollywood feeling and there is an outside patio that I must come back to. Overall a great spot with so much potential and a place I will definitely be coming back to. read more

4.5! After a rough week, we found ourselves at an artist talk and decided to give The Gibson Dallas a try--and I'm so glad we did. From the moment we walked in, everything was fabulous: the decor, the live entertainment, the service, and of course, the food. The entire staff was incredibly attentive, and our waitress, Lauren, was especially kind and welcoming. We started with the short rib egg rolls, which came out lightning fast--hot, savory, and absolutely delicious. For entrées, we had the Santa Fe short rib (perfectly tender) with uniquely styled potatoes that were whipped to perfection , and the Duroc pork chop with risotto. I'm still wondering how they achieved such a beautiful crust on the pork chop without drying it out--impressive. To complete the night, we had crème brûlée, and it was the perfect sweet ending. One thing I have to highlight: the attention to cleanliness. We watched staff carefully check that glasses and cutlery were spotless--and then someone came behind to double-check their work. THAT level of care deserves recognition. Every restaurant and hospitality space should take notes. The manager's kind spirit, paired with this level of service, made the entire experience feel special. We will definitely be back Oh--and the bathroom was very nice too! I did struggle a bit with locking the door, but that was definitely user error. Take home message: Highly recommend if you're looking for a great atmosphere, amazing food, and top-tier service. read more

This review is long overdue. To date, I've visited Gibson twice for happy hour. Happy Hour is Monday - Thursday from 4-6 and all day Sunday. Happy hour includes small bites such as truffle deviled eggs and a petite charcuterie board. The happy hour drinks consist of an old-fashioned, The Gibson (Tanqueray) and several red, white, rose options as well as champagne. They also have $1 off drafts, wells and several wine options. The vibe and service were all outstanding. My first visit I was served by Judge, and I don't remember the name of the very energetic gentleman that served me the second time. If you're a cigar lover you should know that they sell cigars and they have a nice patio where you can smoke. I plan on returning for dinner, but so far so good. Gibson has made it to my list of regular happy hour spots. Go check it out for yourself. -stilettosandsucculents read more

The vibe, atmosphere, and service were all outstanding. My friends and I were first time visitors for lunch. Two of us tried the recommended French Dip sandwich, one the yellow fin tuna salad, and the pear and pecan salad. The yellow fin was pretty good my friend thought and the pear and pecan salad was just ok. The French Dip sandwich was average at best in my opinion. Definitely a disappointment and I would not order it again. The prime rib in the sandwich was overcooked and dry. The accompanying fries were very good, and the French bread had a nice crust. Will have to come back for dinner. The atmosphere was great and loved the bar area. read more

The decor is super cute - it's giving roaring 20's supper club vibe. Gold chandeliers and black suede. Wine list is great and some really well priced wines. HH is great! Good size bar. I loved the appetizers we had - deviled eggs and short rib eggrolls! Delicious! Steak was great. The patio has a fireplace and well placed TVs; the only distraction is DNT noise. We'll be back! read more

this place has been delicious every time I have been here. tonight we were seated in Olivia's section and she did an awesome job helping use celebrate and pick out great wine pairings. The cheese board doesn't play around but everything is good. the food here is always so good and the ambiance is also great. there is often live music but it's not so loud that my friend and I can't hear each other. I would never turn down an invite to eat here. read more

This place is fabulous! So glad I found out about it. We were seated on time and everyone from the moment we entered to when we left was so friendly. Service was great and food served quickly. Jonathan was an amazing and kind waiter. Food was delicious and they have a nice drink selection. Ambiance was elegant and the band playing was a nice touch. Would highly recommend. We had the wedge salad, ahi tuna and pesto tagliatelle. We asked for the shrimp to be blackened and the chef nailed it. read more

OH LA LA! The Gibson! How we have anticipated for your opening! I've been lucky to dine here twice this week and have absolutely flawless food and service. First, let's talk about the ambiance. This is a glamorous restaurant with rich colors of cranberry and dark wood. There's geometric art deco features on the bar, ceiling and railing which transports you back in time. The aura is glitzy but comfortable. On to the food: The owner said they just hired a new chef 2 weeks ago and changes have been made. Everything that I had I would get again. The Ahi tuna was so fresh that I did have it twice. I loved the thin slice of cucumber that it was served on for added texture. Also it's served with giant seasoned chips that had a hint of red pepper flakes. The crab cakes were generous and full of crab. I also had the vegetable risotto which had a nice portion of enoki mushrooms and basil oil- truly delicious. The salmon was cooked to perfection and the portion was large. Bartenders and service are top notch. read more

Food is excellent and creative. Fondue- YUM! Perfect steaks. Live music is a nice touch. Decor is unique and fantastic art deco style. Service perfect on 2 occasions and sadly terrible on one visit. Slow service at lunch. This restaurant deserves to thrive. Hope they can get the service kinks ironed out. TRY THIS PLACE. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

Service was beyond slow. Began the evening in the bar. Was provided a drink menu/wine list, but nobody ever returned to take my order. Sat in the bar for 45 minutes, no drink. When we were seated for dinner, it took 15-20 minutes for first drink order to be served. Same for second drink - ordered when entree was served, drink showed up when entree was finished. Unfortunate; food was good but completely overshadowed by terribly slow service. These are self-inflicted wounds. No excuse. read more

The place itself is really nice. The ambience & live music they sometimes play is great. The bartenders are a different story. Andrew specifically. He has this condescending tone & "know it all" attitude that didn't sit right with me & made me feel as if I was dumb & had no idea what I was talking about. I simply asked a question about the happy hour menu they had & how it was prepared & he immediately let out a sigh & just sounded annoyed. The next time I come in I'm definitely not asking for him to serve me. Would much rather ask for a table or sit outside read more

First time here. We came with a group of four to celebrate two birthdays during a week of celebrations, my wife's and my daughter's boyfriend. The entire evening was pretty much a letdown. The food in general was a disappointment. The ingredients of the fondue were cold. The burger we ordered split in half wasn't even the same burger. One side had two layers of bread, the other had three layers of bread. Hard to trust the kitchen when the plates don't even match. And one drink in particular tasted medicinal. Basically, undrinkable Service was delayed because the wait staff clearly wasn't complete or prepared. We were later informed some staff members quit recently. The atmosphere didn't help either. There was supposed to be live music but there was none. When we asked why, the explanation was basically "I don't know, it was cancelled." The photos online suggest a warm, lively vibe, but the reality felt more like sitting in a large airport restaurant. Bland, echoey, and nothing like what's advertised. We tried to give the restaurant an opportunity to address what went wrong. So my wife called twice over several days and left messages for the owner, Carrie Britton to call her back. She never returned my wife's call. Given the disappointing evening and the lack of response from the owner. We won't be returning. read more

Excellent food, service & atmosphere! Wow the fondue and wedge salad were special, unlike you'll find anywhere else. We will be back soon. read more

We had reservations for 6 for Mother's Day. Unexpectedly, one more person showed up. The staff was very accommodating and worked to add the extra person. Whitney, our server, was very attentive and prompt. The food was wonderful and presented beautifully. All the moms had a fantastic time. Will definitely be going back. Make sure to check out the cozy speakeasy in the back! read more

Can I say.... Uhhhhhhmazing? Beautifully remodeled with chandeliers and gold touches! Excellent service from Leon, beautiful music and tasty food!!! We needed this new take on elegant dining and jazz! Can't wait to go back!! read more

This is going to be critiqued rather harshly with room for apologies and do overs. The decor was nice inside. It's the former McGuire's. I was with a group of friends on a cigar tour and we had lunch on the patio. There were only four ash trays available and we had two, so they gave us very nice rocks glasses to dump the ashes. Moving on to the food. The egg rolls were a big hit. The creamed spinach was prepared nicely and didn't have too much heavy cream. Someone had the burger that was reported to be good. I had the crab cakes and because I was starving, I ate them although they didn't have any lump crab and was served under tempered and was very lack luster. We were served warm water instead of chilled with no ice as we sat outside. Our server Garrett appeared to work very hard but not smart as he would forget simple things and didn't follow up with things related to the menu however I give him kudos for putting forth the effort with a smile. I would definitely come back and give it a second chance and would even recommend it. Hopefully they can work out some of the kinks. read more

Good music and atmosphere! Had great evening on valentines night with my fiancée . Highly recommended for all

Highly recommend an amazing cocktail in the Speak Easy before dinner. The short rib egg rolls and deviled egg appetizers were a hit for our group of 6. I ordered the Sea Bass Seduction for supper and it was perfect! Everyone loved their entrees. read more

Been driving by this new restaurant daily for a month. My wife and I had our Friday Night Date-night here last night. Great old Hollywood atmosphere with good vibes. Excellent live music playing in the background. Great service and just the right amount of attention from our server. Nice and tasty appetizers, and salads, and good selection of entrees. My wife's salmon was delicious, and I had a perfectly cooked filet with peppercorn sauce on the side. We shared sides of truffle mashed potatoes and creamed spinach. Wine list is enormous and entertaining. We had a Red Burgundy which was awesome and priced fairly. It was a pleasurable dining experience and we will definitely be going back soon read more

We decided to try The Gibson for lunch as it had opened in the spot at the Tollway and Trinity Mills where Maguires used to be. They did a nice remodel. We ordered the pear and pecan salad and the seared tuna salad and wanted to try an order of their fries. We should have had a giant order of their fries each and skipped the salads, which were very interesting. The balsamic berry vinaigrette on the pear and pecan salad was good but the pecans were literally glued to the plate via the mascarpone (we tried and even a knife would not budge them) and the sliced red wine pears could have been used as frisbees. The seared tuna was a wedge of yellowfin tuna sliced into 1/4 inch cuts but they were almost frozen (never had seared tuna on a salad served like this).Truly the weirdest lunch ever. read more

Amazing food and great service! We have a wonderful time!! Loved the pecan old fashioned!

The Gibson recently opened and we decided to try Happy Hour. The restaurant has a beautiful decor. We sat at their bar which is very large. Our drinks were perfectly made and of generous size. We ordered off the happy hour menu. Husband had a few oysters and I chose the deviled eggs. Then we also ordered the fondue, which comes with croutons for dipping, but we added French fries to also dip. Service was attentive and informative about the menu. Everything was delicious. We plan to book a reservation for a meal soon, and also to stop in for happy hour occasionally. read more

Beautiful restaurant. I got a Chicken dish that was delicious. Service was exceptional. We looked at the speak easy and it is beautifully done. We will go back soon. read more

We love eating out and supporting non-chains so I think we are very tolerant of the things than can go wrong in a service but HOLY MOLY. Easily the worst service experience we've had in years. My family took me out for Mother's Day. At the hostess stand, I mentioned I was looking forward to a cocktail, but I had to request a drink menu. Our server, Adele, took about 20 minutes to get to our table and was clearly unhappy to be there. My drink took another 20 minutes to arrive and it was all downhill from there. Our appetizer plates (and empty oyster shells) were still on the table when our entrees arrived and she didn't clear them. We finally asked another server to remove them. The dessert we said we'd share came with one spoon and our entree plates were never cleared. So we sat with a dessert in the middle of the table and our entrees in front of us, with no way to eat the dessert for another 20 minutes. The people seated after us walked out after they'd placed their drink order and had received nothing for about half an hour. My final drink never arrived. Adele apologized (weakly) that the bar was backed up but that doesn't explain why she continuously walked away empty-handed from our table without clearing a dish and without bringing spoons. I was unable to locate a manager and had planned to call the owners directly, but other reviews make it clear that they're not interested. There are far too many solid restaurants in North Dallas to return to The Gibson. read more

Pretty restaurant. Food was average. Burger patty was excellent quality. Disappointed on a few things. Called to confirm live music and told it was at 7. There was no sign of musicians at 7. I asked and the waitress said sometimes they come at 8 or so. Happy hour price for hot pretzel bites was $9 and regular menu price $5. I asked what the difference was and she said it was likely a typo and would charge $5. They charged $9 in the end and we just paid it. I also noticed the chicken was $9 on the regular menu but $13 on the happy hour menu. Felt like a cheap shot but maybe just a mistake. Seemed like an integrity issue that just rubbed us the wrong way. The waitress was very nice though. read more

Good, ambiance and service was amazing!!! Everyone was very cordial! Speak easy was awesome and a great atmosphere

Ok guys-- here we go. We came here for Mother's Day so I'm going to be as polite as I can. Our server was the nicest guy. But he messed the drink orders up multiple times. We let that slide. My husband wanted to sub out the breakfast potatoes for grits but the waiter said they ran out of grits (WHAT??!!) so my husband said-- ok no prob -- bring me French fries instead. Well when the food came he had breakfast potatoes AND French fries but NO WAFFLE (which of course, he ordered)!! When he mentioned this to the waiter, he seemed stunned and confused. But a few minutes later, a different server came by, SLAPPED a EGGO waffle on the table and said, "here's your waffle." No syrup, no butter, just 2 frozen EGGO waffles straight out of the FREEZER. NOT the thick, fluffy HOMEMADE waffles that my son got with his breakfast and my husband had ordered, and we saw coming out to several other tables. Was this some kind of joke? We just couldn't figure this out. We laughed to keep from being upset. Overall the food was good. But a few mishaps made us question the place. I ordered ice tea and asked for simple syrup (no sweet tea). The tea tasted rancid. My daughter ordered Dr Pepper and got Diet Coke. I ordered Dr Pepper and then got Diet Coke the second time around. Were the labels switched?? Not sure. The whole experience was just strange to say the least. The server was very nice, the food was decent. The biggest surprise was there were no managers appearing to circulate and check in on any patrons. We may be back, We shall see. read more

Truly beautiful restaurant. Wonderful service and very good food. This will be a local favorite for years to come. My wife and I had appetizers and a couple drinks at the bar. Everyone was very welcoming, including the patrons, bartenders and staff. Locally owned small business. This is exactly what this neighborhood needed. read more

went there last night to listen to music and have dinner. the guitar player never showed . Food was ok . When we got our check I noticed they charged us 50 for an appetizer that was listed for 28 on menu . We did get in corrected but need to double and triple your check . it's a very nice looking restaurant that recently opened. we will give them another chance. read more

We went to Gibson's the first full week of the regular opening. We were regulars at Maguires for 20 years and were excited to try this place. The decor is nice, but a bit flashy. The service was good. My wife had the signature cocktail and I had the dirty vodka martini. The martini was $18 and that included $2 for the blue cheese olives. A bit pricey for that cocktail. The crab cakes were a huge disappointment. Extremely small and very expensive($28) for what you get. Three cakes about the size of a silver dollar. The fondue was good, but the bread it came with was a toasted hamburger bun torn into pieces. We did order pretzel bites to dip for an additional $8. Glad we did, otherwise the fondue would have been a huge disappointment. The sea bass was cooked to perfection. It had a white chocolate and berry reduction that made the dish too sweet. The half roasted chicken with pan gravy was outstanding. All in all, it was a disappointing visit, but have hopes that it gets batter with time. We will give it another try at some point. read more

Just had a super dinner at The Gibson! Great service, hot food and awesome martini! Ambiance is real good too. Live, soft music. Give it try! read more

The updated decor is sooo pretty! The seating very comfortable. The food really delish! But....after being open 3 months already, the service was so slow. Our waiter, Adam, was so nice but..... It took about 10 minutes just to get water when first arriving and perusing the menu. Over 20 minutes after ordering to receive the salads and even longer for the mixed drinks we ordered when ordering the salads. Thankfully the entrees were served warm but we were concerned since receiving them also took so long. Dessert took another 15-20 minutes after ordering. Overall it took over 2 hours to order and receive the food. This was disappointing (and got aggravating after a while) so hopefully they will improve this as I'd love to visit again for the great food. Will give another chance. read more

The food and service were amazing. There a few mix-ups with the order but our waiter was quick to resolve them. The drinks and overall service was top notch. The ambiance and live entertainment topped the experience. Would definitely recommend and go back again. read more

We are so looking forward to The Gibson being a success! We have missed the beloved Maguires and anticipated its replacement. It is beautiful. Food was good. Drinks were interesting. Service was lacking hopefully they are learning and will get better. We sat at the bar! Our favorite when it was Maguires. Lead bartender did not know how to pour a bottle of beer. Did not check on us, had to flag him down for food and second drink order. Never returned to inquire about food until we requested check. The bar is arranged so most people sitting at bar cannot see TVs. As I said beautiful. It has great possibilities and we will give it a try in a few weeks. BUT needs to improve! The neighborhood wants to support you! Give us something worthwhile to support read more

Noticed Gibson's around the corner from my house. Great location by Bentree CC. Went in on an exploratory mission at 6:00 on a Thursday. Ordered a drink at the bar. Three bartenders and 12 people at the bar. Took 20 minutes after I finished my drink for some one offer to get me another. Not impressed. Food may be good but I left read more
