    I think my overall feeling about J. Gilbert McLean is gratitude. In stark contrast to a trendy (former) favorite restaurant in the District where we dined the night before, we were welcomed with warmth, shown to a comfortable fireside table, enjoyed enough privacy to enjoy our conversation without being jostled, were taken care of by a conscientious , competent and endearing server, and enjoyed excellent quality food and drink meticulously (if not wildly inventively) prepared that arrived promptly and at a comfortable cadence. A relaxing, satisfying, gratifying meal and environment for those more interested in each other than in a trendy scene. We felt valued and well cared for, which is exactly what we needed after an opposite experience elsewhere!

    Delicious holiday brunch. Fresh French bread, excellent coffee, scrambled eggs with mushrooms and fantastic Croque Madame. Afterwards, free champagne samples and a slice of their amazing Buche de Noel. A bargain for about $40 for two. Service was attentive and pleasant.
