All always great! I hadn't been in a number of years and the food was as awesome as I remember it to have been. My ' only ' issue. I got a notification that my table was ready about 7 minutes before my reservation. I arrived about 5 minutes after my reservation time. I checked in....and they said I had to wait just a moment. Was the table ready or not. And then also ... restaurants are still sticking with this extra percentage scan because of labor, etc....lets move on and just pay your help/ 2020 is in the rearview mirror

Always have dinner at a Gibsons restaurant, usually the Rosemont location. It’s not that the ambience in Rosemont is bad, but we fell in love with Gibsons Italia. A bit more modern in its decor with the same excellent food and a fabulous view! My new favorite Chicago restaurant!
