Great experience and great food. This is one my new go to places.

They have set up outdoor dining due to Covid so it was a relaxed setting.
Always love the filet and the salmon.

While not quite back to its pre-pandemic level, Gilbert's is still my preferred place to eat in McLean

Kyra was an incredible waitress. The food was amazing, definitely a great place to spend my birthday dinner.

We enjoy our time being there, next time will sit outside nice set up.

My birthday 🎂

Always excellent

Solid service; delicious filet mignon & shrimp. Sat outside, which made a pleasant spring evening, with a relaxed atmosphere.

I ordered a fillet mignon and asked him to bring it rare.
The first few bites seemed pink but not quite as rare as I would like and when I got to the center there was no juice at all which should be the case with a rare steak. Therefore, on my first fret to this restaurant I was disappointed. I expect errors and restaurants that do not specialize in state but as this one does and I made a point of asking It be served rare it should’ve had a cool center not a warm one. This is a $37 error that I don’t need an airport was disappointed. I don’t understand how a steakhouse doesn’t know that rare in Maines rare not medium rare not pink Center but read and cool inside.

Have eaten here many times and like the place a lot! Sat outside in their "tent" on a warm day when the sides should have been rolled up. Was WAY too hot in there and the one waitress that was servicing the tent are (and maybe inside?) was pretty overwhelmed

Good was good and the service was nice. I was expecting a more upscale restaurant and that wasn’t the case. If you’re looking for good food without the ambience, go to J Gilberts.

JGilberts is a hidden treasure in McLean, VA. Amazing food and great environment. We go there all the time!

Made last minute reservation on Easter. Was happy to get a reservation outside. The staff was awesome and got lucky it was a beautiful night.

We had wonderful customer service provided by Monia (?). She is an excellent asset to your establishment. Friendly, courteous, and very accommodating. We enjoyed our Easter Brunch at Gilbert's ... but we do miss the Sunday Brunch Buffet. Hope it will be available soon. Thank you so much, from my entire family!

Ate there for Easter brunch. Food was outstanding as usual. A bit pricey but very good.

Great Easter Day experience Joan was our server and she was great. My wife Kandi and I really love the food and will enjoy the ambiance once we can return to indoor eating.

Another great experience at J. Gilbert's. Food was outstanding as was the service

The ambiance was good, service was great, but for the expectation of going to a steakhouse and seafood.... it rates low.

Food temperature was tepid, not seasoned well, descriptions definitely did not match the outcome. Again, while a good restaurant for ambiance and convenience however, the food ranked below average.

Sat outside on a glorious day. Yes, it was a tent in the parking lot, but they did the best they could. We were the only people there, so it was a nice ambience. The service was terrific. Calamari and pork chops were both excellent. I would go back!

It took so long to get our order taken and then to get the check

Great food, wonderful wait staff. Would recommend to anyone.

silverware set was not washed properly. The set had sticky substances on both knife and fork The second set was fine.
waiter appeared slow, apathetic, and unfamiliar with professional server actions and techniques

We had a lovely server that made the night enjoyable. The food was good, but it didn’t stand out as a unique or special meal. This is a reliably good restaurant.

Great lunch selection - always love the crabmelt sandwich with the side of mushroom risotto. Excellent service and following Covid guideslines

Great food and Service. Steak was excellent. Would definitely go there again.

Great atmosphere. Amazing food. Highly recommend.

Our waiter was not very attentive. We had to ask other helpers for extra drinks. No offer of additional breads My wife’s potato came to the table cold. Her steak was perfect. I had the halibut and was delicious.
Did not make me want to come back.
I would recommend Gilbert’s but be ready for asking for service

Tonight’s dinner was perfect. The food and service was exceptional. I recommend the shrimp Durango and the lamb chops.

We had a wonderful lunch at j Gilbert’s. They were so accommodating to our two small children and our server was fabulous!

Hugo was wonderful!!! The food was excellent!! I love this place and will be back soon.

Food was delicious had to send baked potato and spinach back cold but was returned hot, salmon outstanding

The food we had was mediocre for the prices. They also brought out the wrong kids meal late. They went back and then brought the kids meal out as we were getting ready to leave. We didn't want it at that point. I really like JGs, I think we just caught them on an off day.

Loved the food choices and the services. Thank you so much.

Anniversary

We sat at the table for 20 mins without anyone greeting us. I had to go ask the host if someone come help us. First and second courses were both luke warm-cold, but the plates were hot. Food tasted pretty good but it was just wasn’t hot, it seemed like it had been in the window for awhile. Service was pretty slow as well. I’d been wanting to try this local favorite for a while and finally decided to try it for my mom’s bday. Slow service and cold food can be attributed to our server’s lack of engagement. We spent a few hundred dollars and it definitely wasn’t worth it. I probably wouldn’t dine here again.

The server and his assistant/trainee were enthusiastic, kind, and attentive. We enjoyed the food and loved the experience, especially as it was our 30th wedding anniversary!

Service was slow and mediocre. Table next to us waited around 15 minutes before being acknowledged.

Enjoyed a good dinner with friends. Staff was friendly and efficient. Food was very good. COVID precautions were evident and appreciated. The restaurant was not crowded so the noise level was lower than past experiences. Will definitely go again!

Food is always good and of good value here. It is a neighborhood gem. The wait staff could be more attentive to refilling drinks and other points of attention.

Great food and service. steak could have been little more seasoned. our first visit. we will definitely come back. dessert was good as well.
