J Gilbert's in Glastonbury, Connecticut…read more I got the 10oz sirloin with creamed corn (with bacon ) and potato au gratin -- everything was super flavorful and cooked perfectly. Total comfort food but elevated. My husband went with the burger topped with an unreal shallot jam and sweet potato fries... and yes, it was as good as it sounds Such a solid spot for a cozy steak night.

Oh man it hurts me to right this review. Because we have loved J Gilbert's for so long, but…read moreunfortunately it just not has been the same for a while. We were there celebrating after a very tough stretch for my wife so we needed a good night out. Our salads actually had brown lettuce in it. When we told the server she did not even seem to care or know what to do and actually said so do you still want them. Then my wife's scallops were way overcooked (I did not even think that was possible) and I ordered my burger Med Rate and cane out Ned Well. Again ghe server did not even seem to bat an eye. It was really about attention to detail and the steps of service. None of them were there. We saw employees walking past empty tables with dirty dishes and not help clear, and saw no teamwork. Maybe I am being to critical because I have been in this business for 35 years, but mayybe someone a manager or other employee will see this and will do something. Because that night no one came over to say they were sorry

We tried the fajita burrito, which had great flavor, though I personally prefer burritos with a little extra sauce. The taco salad was a hit with everyone at the table, and we also shared the appetizer quesadilla with added chicken, which was really good. But the true star of the meal was definitely the complimentary chips -- perfectly light, crispy, and seriously addictive! Service was great.

I got the rosa rita margarita, which was my personal favorite. It is made with creamy strawberry and almost tasted like a smoothie. I got the pulled pork burrito, which had cheese baked over it. It was a pretty good choice off a decent menu. The food took a while to come out, but the staff gave us a discount on the drinks in return. Overall, Chucks is a good choice for a casual outing with friends.

We decided on ChopHouse Grille last minute and was able to get a reservation. We saw other reviews…read morethat mentioned the food and service was good so we thought we would give it a try. We drove up to the building and there really is nothing special about it, very few windows and some over grown trees in the parking lot. I didn't have high hopes. When entering into the restaurant the appearance of the bar and dining area was actually decent. Wood floors, wooden tables and a nice atmosphere at the bar. There was a bit of a cleaning supply/bar smell when you first walk in. Again I wasn't expecting much. The kids ordered a small Caesar salad and pasta with butter as their main dish. My husband and I both ordered the marinated grilled chicken with vegetables and potato. A fresh hot loaf of bread with butter was placed on the table right away. It was definitely out of the oven hot and delicious. The kids devoured most of it and we ordered a second one. The waitress, Grace was very attentive and ensured we had everything we needed for the table. I have to say the service was excellent as expressed on other reviews. Definitely a plus with kids! Our kids devoured the Caesar salad. It had fresh lettuce, shredded cheese, croutons and well mixed in dressing. They loved it! When our main dishes arrived, it looked promising, two pieces of nicely grilled chicken on the dish. When I tasted it, I was impressed! It was delicious! Perfectly grilled, not rubbery, and very tasty. The meal came with a side sauce of our liking. I chose the lemon butter on recommendation of the waitress. Perfectly paired! The kids pasta and butter was buccatini and was nice and hot, with a side of potato chip fries. Very good and very unique. They ate it all! Overall, ChopHouse Grille exceeded my expectations. While it isn't on the same level as a special occasion restaurant like the Coast Guard House, it offers solid food, excellent service, and a relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere. We never felt out of place dining with our kids, and the staff made the experience easy and enjoyable. I would definitely return to try one of their steaks next time. If you're looking for a comfortable spot for a family dinner with consistently good food and service, I'd happily recommend giving it a try.

My best friend loves the spot because they have a lot of GF options. Tonight we got cocktails, soup and opted to split a sandwich. We asked if the tots were GF, and Max, our amazing waiter said that they weren't. He not only split our anarchies in half on separate plates but gave me the tots and my best friend fries. It was a small gesture, but it meant so much! This spot is beautiful and worth checking out! :)

Salad was warmer than room temperature, service was slow & never came over to well after my dinner was served to ask me if I wanted another drink. My steak was barely room temperature and very undercooked. My husband's ribeye was nothing to write home about for the price point they are charging they just lost us as a customer.

This includeds three kinds of steak and three kinds of sauces to use. The sauces were good, but the steak itself was already cooked and seasoned perfect. I didnt really use the sauces outside of a taste. The server gives a nice introduction of the menu and which items are notable. For desert we have the key lime and the chocolate layer cake. Both had perfect balance. Not unnecessarily sweet and really enjoyable

She made sure we understood the menu, that we were comfortable and had everything we needed, and followed all the right steps of service . First off the rolls and butter they give you is so good you could make a meal out of. The wagyu dumplings were so amazingly tasty and a perfect size. The filet with black garlic tomato butter was incredibly tender, and full of flavor. The wagyu strip with peppercorn sauce was equally as good. But nevermind the sauces the steaks themselves weee seasoned perfectly and cooked a perfect Medium Rare. Another thing that really impressed us was everyone was helping everyone including the managers. They were supporting there staff great which we love to see. This is definitely a lace to go if you want that perfect dining experience

I really enjoyed the peel and eat shrimp, the grilled steak and the scallops. Many in my group loved the endless lobster. The dessert bar was another good stop. My suggestion is that you get there early, when they open Friday evening. We didn't need a reservation and thank goodness, because the line grew shortly after we got in. Again, can't say it enough, go early, you'll be glad you did. This way you can enjoy getting what you like with less foot traffic inside.

It had no flavor and the shrimp was chewy. I also found a piece of the shell they had not removed. The rice was also a little old. Would not recommend coming if you want good sushi.
