    The filet was cooked perfectly, sides were very good as well. The calimari appetizer was very tough, overcooked. Shrimp app was undercooked and overwhelmed with garlic. Server was pleasant.

    J Gilbert’s is our “special occasion” restaurant and has been for nearly 10 years. We ate there last night and the food was good, but it was different than usual. The steak was cooked perfectly and tasted good, but it didn’t have that “wood fired” taste that it usually does. Maybe a new chef? Or changed their cooking process. Either way, it was still good, just not great like usual.
    J. Gilbert’s – Wood Fired Steaks & Seafood – GlastonburyResponded 5 days ago
    Hey Courtney, Thank you for being a loyal customer and for taking the time to share your feedback. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed our steak and service. We appreciate your honest feedback regarding our cooking process. We strive to maintain our unique wood-fired taste and it's disheartening to hear that it wasn't as good as usual. We look forward to serving you again, hopefully with an improved experience. Best, The Management Team
