I mean, you can't screw that up but it always hits the spot!! Service was okay - the waitress always seemed in a rush and didn't have time for us and to refill drinks but she was busy. As for the ambiance they really did a great job at remodeling the place.

I had ordered the Buffalo chicken sandwich that seemed to be a frozen Tyson special. For $17 plus a $2 up-charge for fries, I'd expect fresh chicken. The bar and restaurant are very dated and in need of an update. It isn't the dirtiest place but they definitely need to give it some attention. I wouldn't come back.

Great place to feel like you are back in time. Gerbers is an old pub in a building back from the…read more1800's. We sat at the bar and got a great history lesson about the bar from Mark the owner. Steve the bartender is great, very social and helpful with your drink selection We sat at the bar but ordered the fried bologna and long hots. The sandwich came out on a crispy toasted bread loaded with fried bologna and peppers...it was awesome! And the fries, nice and crispy!! What an awesome pub We decided to stay for dinner. Ordered 2 burgers, Lebanese platter and the Reuben!!!! Amazing!

One upon a time Gerber's was actually a derelict closed eatery...essentially a casualty from the…read moredecay of Utica. With the revitalization of downtown and the return of the Utica AHL hockey team, Gerber's has been brought back to life. Excellent burgers and the drink prices are classic Utica reasonable. It's got the warm vintage thing inside as well. A great place to visit if you are staying at the Doubletree or are on the way to watch hockey. The original Gerber was a Jewish fella who ran the speakeasy back in the early part of the 20th century.

Wow I am so excited to share this review! What an amazing experience we had at this restaurant…read more Welcomed with a friendly greeting & beautiful smile, Chase offered us a comfy booth. Then greeted by Kyle our waiter who was awesome! So classy, and so prompt, great service, suggestions, check backs, fantastic! Now the food! The bang bang cauliflower was delicious. Crispy outside, tasty seasoning, tender cauliflower. Outstanding salads with tender chicken on the Caesar salad and the shrimp was perfectly cooked on the Asian salad with crisp mixed lettuce and a sweet savory dressing. Kudos to the chef or chefs. One of the best restaurants! We will be back! Hoping to sit on the outdoor patio that I am sure is wonderful in a nice day. They also have a private room for special events. A fantastic drink menu is a bonus.

The food remains consistently excellent. The service continues to decline. Whether the place is…read morefull or empty, whether you have reservations for two or for 10 people, your table simply will not be ready. The average wait time is 20 minutes beyond your reservation time. Once you are finally seated, the wait staff are knowledgeable and friendly and will help you select your evening repast. And then you will wait again. Typically at least 20 minutes for your food. For your drinks, for your appetizers. It wasn't always like that. There is an internal inefficiency in their kitchen operations in recent months that results in delays. They seem to have enough staff. They just seem to have lost their rhythm. The ambience is lovely, the table settings fine. But there are little things that are slipping. As you can tell from my many reviews of this restaurant over the last several years, this beautiful establishment has achieved four stars. But today in June 2026, their beautiful cuisine is served on nice porcelain plates, but their coleslaw is served in a paper cup. The music is way too loud so you can't have a conversation at the table unless you scream. And they claim to not be allowed to turn the music down. They clearly cater to the 30 and under crowd. The 60s and older are not a priority for them. Wine is properly served, and the drinks are nicely mixed but to get a refill will take you a very long time. When the tables around you are empty, it begs the question as to what is the cause of the delay. My last two dinners here experienced these inexcusable delays. I hope they get the problem straightened out. Because this really is a destination restaurant.

Our Sever/Bartender was phenomenal! Very attentive even though she had a full bar of patrons. I had…read morethe Loaded Potato Skins. They were ok. Not the best, not the worst. The best part was the Irish bacon on them. My husband had the Philly Steak. It was good but bland he said. One of our friends had the New England chowder. She said it was good. Our other friend had the fish sandwich but didn't eat all of it. He said it didn't taste great. Everyone loved the fries. The atmosphere is not warm and cozy. It's rather sparse. But the bar patrons seemed happy and the bar area was more warm feeling in terms of ambiance. So if you and some friends want a place to grab a pint and have a burger, I'd recommend it but I wouldn't recommend anything we ate.
