on Citysearch May 27, 2009We've been on their email list for several years and deals have in the past been good; $20 off a $50. bill but this past time they eliminated drinks which brought our food bill to bit less than $50 and they stonewalled us... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 14, 2008I've gone to all the big name steak houses in the Hartford area (Morton's, Ruth's Chris, Max's etc.) and J. Gilbert's is my favorite. Why? Because the food is good, the portions aren't too collosal (that's actually a... (more)

on Judys Book Aug 09, 2007For those who think that a truly good steak cannot be found in CT, think again. I was taken to this restaurant for my birthday this year. I am from Oklahoma, where we are famous for our beef, so I was hesitant to order... (more)

on Judys Book Dec 28, 2006J. Gilberts serves up absolutely the best steak in town. They are a chop house and in this they excell. Their other food is also very good, I am particularly fond of their lump crab cakes. Besides great food their wine... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 01, 2006I travel to Glastonbury every week and eat at J Gilberts at least once a week. I have always found the servers to be very pleasant and the food terrific. I have to admit, I rarely eat steaks. I recommend their scallops,... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 19, 2005I have tried to eat here with my wife twice, and business twice. But I am DONE (like the meat)! EVERY time, the steaks are either OVERdone (the hardest to return, as it slows everything down at the table of course) or just... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 12, 2002At the risk of making an excellent restaurant less accessible to myself (how selfish) - I rate J. Gilbert's as one my favorite in the area. Steaks are always well prepared and melt-in-your-mouth tender. Other dishes... (more)
