Caeser salad
Lauren H.

First time trying J Gilbert's and I am so glad my boyfriend suggested this place last minute. We were looking for a place to go for NYE and luckily, we got a reservation, day of, at 7:45pm. For starters, we ordered the crab bisque, the caeser salad, and the lobster risotto. The soup was absolutely delicious and it was like a flavor bomb in your mouth after each bite. I had high hopes for the lobster risotto but next time we may skip this. I was hoping it would be more creamy and out of this world, but it was just mid. For entrees, my boyfriend and I both got the center cut filet with poblano au gratin potatoes and creamed corn with bacon. We were raving about how yummy everything was in between bites!! And to finish, we ordered our favorite dessert, crème brûlée. Lastly, I wanna shout out the bartender.. my Negroni was perfect, so of course, I had to order another. And Katherine, our server, was great as well. Thanks for being a part of our NYE and the will be sure to stop in to celebrate other occasions with J Gilbert's.

Prime Rib with asparagus and baked potato (not pictured)
Kimberly B.

Stopped in after a long day of Christmas shopping at the mall where this location is at. Normally they have happy hour specials if you sit at the bar, but we were told they couldn't offer it to us as it was ending in a few minutes so we ordered off the regular menu instead which did not disappoint. Here's what we each ordered: 1) Wagyu Burger with asparagus 2) Prime Rib with baked potato and asparagus 3) BBQ Ribs with fries Like 90% of our meals there, it was great. I think I've only had two things there in the past we didn't like. One time the scallops still had pieces of sand and grit lingering with every bite and another time was an undercooked steak and bisque soup that tasted curdled. Their tea is always fresh and the selection of alcohol beverages including the smoked old fashion is amazing. Joey is usually our waiter and does a great job as he's been there for probably 10 plus years. The manager is usually very good about making his rounds to check on the guests. This visit he missed us, but it's not to be expected each time. My father was with us on this visit and had never dined there before. He said it was the best prime rib he'd had to date and my burger was delicious. The asparagus was sautéed just right with perfect seasoning, I could eat an entire plate full. Our only disappointment this visit was the bread service wasn't warm like usual tasted kind of old/stale and the amount of asparagus on my plate versus my father's was different. He got less than I did and his stalks were kind of thinner than mine, but still tasty. Can't wait for our next visit!!!

Made a reservation online for our anniversary. We were seated quickly. Love the decor and music choices. Got a couple cocktails... just average nothing fancy. We got the pre fix menu came with 3 courses. I got the lobster bisque, sirloin and crème brûlée. The server was great but he did get my husband order wrong... it was no big deal. My steak wasn't medium rare like I asked... it was medium so to me that's a bit tough. Not the best but not also the worst upscale/steak restaurant.

Crab bisque
Mai L.

I decided to venture here after work. I let the hostess know it would just be me and she offered to sit me at the bar or a table. I opted for a table since I wanted to work on my laptop. I was still seated within the bar area so it looked like my server was also helping bartend. First off, super friendly service. I was on my phone working and he dropped water and came back as soon as he saw me hang up the phone. I ordered a crab bisque soup as my starter and then got the bourbon glazed salmon. My choice of sides was broccolini and the mac and cheese. The crab bisque was delicious! It had some crab sprinkled on top. I was also dropped some bread which was warm and yummy. Came with whipped butter. My salmon was also super flavorful and delicious. The Mac and cheese was a huge portion (that side was a couple dollars extra which made sense and made it worth it). It was delicious. I'm glad a stumbled in here after a long day. Delicious food and great service. I'll definitely be back!

My birthday celebration (#68:) has been stupendous. I chose this, one of my favorite West County places, for dinner and had a pretty great experience. I love the ambiance of this restaurant. It's beautiful, quiet and relaxing. Our server, Raven, was awesome. To start, we chose a beautiful white wine, Conundrum, which presented with a very refreshing, multi fruit mix with a balanced finish. This would be a great wine to end a stressful day, relaxing on the patio, to erase the heaviness of the day. We chose the seafood sampler for our starter. It included oysters on the half, crab legs, lobster and shrimp, accompanied with delicious sauces. We shared the house salad, also delish. For our mains, my husband ordered the prime rib, which was excellently prepared and I ordered the off menu halibut. Unfortunately, the halibut was taken beyond the limit with the cook which was a bit disappointing. On the flip side, when I brought this to Raven's attention, she immediately spoke to Chef and I was able to get a dish that was cooked perfectly and tasted wonderful. The halibut was accompanied by baby bellas and gnocchi that were delicious and the beurre blanc was so tasty! We ended our dinner with a beautiful Graham 10 year Port. Oh my!! So good. We opted to take our desserts, the cheesecake and the chocolate peanut butter pie home, to enjoy as we watched the Final Four (Illini vs UConn). In finality, I would rate our experience at 4.5 (unfortunately there is not that option with the star rating). I want to thank the GM Tripp and our server, Raven, for their attention to our experience. Overall, a great memory was made and we will return!!

Lavender Martini
Jennifer E.

J Gilbert's is usually a great choice for a family event, get-together, or date! Easy to book online and a great atmosphere embedded into the West County Mall. But don't let that deter you from trying as it can stand alone on food quality. Last nights plate options were prime rib that got rave reviews, sirloin and shrimp, and filets. The wait staff is on point and very attentive. Start out with a craft cocktail - and highly recommend the lavender martini. The bread was very warm and fresh and comes with two options of butter - pastrami butter and a light whipped butter. The sides are pretty impeccable with multiple vegetarian choices along with more starchy options like my new favorite potato au gratin. The sweet creamed corn and bacon is superb as well. If you want additional flavor beyond the wood fired steaks (which are already amazing) - try the ancho chili rub. The pre-fixe meal option also is very fun to do as it gives you a soup/salad and even a dessert for a reasonable price. My only complaint was it was a bit of a miss on the quality of my filet last night which isn't typical - was a tad on the smaller side for a 6oz. But other steaks were to size! It is a bit of a darker place inside and typically they lower the lights even further in the evening, not my personal favorite but may be for others wanting more intimacy. Moderate sound levels.

Just had my favorite here, the 14 oz Ribeye and it was fabulous as usual. Cooked to med-rare perfection and delicately seasoned, it never disappoints.

From our greeting to the bill and everything in between, we loved this restaurant and will definitely add it to our "special occasions" places. Chloe was fantastic and patient since we were first timers and had a lot of questions. She was honest about food and drink ooptions I asked about and provided such a wonderful dining experience. We were celebrating our anniversary so we were gifted with a free dessert - yum! Our main entrees were delicious and the presentation was fantastic. The restaurant has dim lighting and light music playing in the background, perfect for easy to hear conversations. We will definitely be back and hope to have Chloe again.

This was an amazing meal and atmosphere, plus our service was amazing! We got the pretzel crusted onion rings as an appetizer and to be honest, this was my least favorite part of the meal. It didn't taste like anything special, just like regular onion rings. But I loved the different dipping sauces that came with it. The Caesar salad was amazing, perfect, lettuce to cheese to dressing ratio. For my meal I got the scallop risotto that was a special & this was sooo yummy and cooked perfectly. My husband felt the same about his tomahawk special. We really enjoyed the experience as a whole and will definitely be back!

Andrea S.

Nice place for a special occasion. Definitely a pricey place but they know how to cook a steak properly. Located right at the west county mall, so parking is easy. Reservation is recommended.

Your steak arrives on a cart over an open flame, still sizzling and cooked to perfection exactly the way you ordered it. The ribeye cap is especially hard to pass up whenever you see it on the menu. Although the steaks receive much of the attention, Twisted Tree is far more than just a steakhouse. They offer several fish selections, along with pork, pasta, and chicken dishes, and everything is consistently well executed. I once enjoyed an outstanding scallop and risotto special, while also stealing a few bites of steak from my neighbor's plate. The endless house salad is so freaking good that you could honestly order it alone and leave full and happy. The house-made croutons are fantastic, and the two dressings are even better when combined together. Be sure to try the chipotle corn, which is truly unique and absolutely delicious. Most importantly, save room for the wedding cake. It's a must! I'm looking forward to my next visit.

SO called and asked the host if we needed reservations if we were to show up around 820pm. She was sweet and said that would be a perfect because things would probably be calmed down by then and we could easily snag a table. When we arrive at 8:20 and ask for a table for two, the hostess declines and said they're only taking reservations today because of the holiday. SO mention that we spoke to someone on the phone. She was clearly annoyed, but went in the back, came out and reluctantly sat us. They were plenty of open tables. They sat a table of five 20 minutes after us, so they would've been there past close anyway. She sat us at a teeny tiny table in a little stuffy side room that looks like it used to be a porch. It definitely wasn't romantic the way I was picturing this place. Our server was fine, as attentive as we needed him to be. We shared the Cajun bbq shrimp, pork chop, ribeye with bearnaise sauce, zucchini, and potatoes, salads. Overall, the food was good, but nothing compared to what I've heard people rave about over the years, so I was disappointed. I wasn't a fan of the pork chop. For being such a thick pork chop it was dry. The zucchini was slightly undercooked. Nothing really impressed. I'm glad I finally tried it but disappointed that it wasn't what I was hoping for.

My husband and I ate here on a Friday night. The atmosphere was not great - it felt like it should be a nicer interior especially for the prices. The tables seemed like plastic card tables with tablecloth on them and the lighting was really dim, with fluorescent lighting. We were sat in a corner that was crammed too close by another table and unfortunately I was bumped into more than a few times - it was hard to get in and out of too. My husband ordered the burger and fries and I ordered a steak. We both ordered our dishes medium but they came well done. They took my steak back and made another, but it took a long time. By the time it returned, his dish was cold. They also didn't ask if his burger was cooked right so he just ate it. My sides were green beans (good) and baked potato (just okay) and it came with a caesar salad (too much dressing). Service left some to be desired. There are lots of food runners and water fillers, it seems, but we didn't see our server a lot nor was my water ever refilled. We had to ask for bread and had to wait awhile for it, as well. The prices especially for steaks are high. I got a 6oz sirloin I believe for $39. With my husbands burger, two waters (no drinks), tax and tip it was a $70 meal. Nothing offered for our delays, incorrectly cooked entrees, etc. Bummer that a nearby, locally owned spot didn't work as we love to support local when we can. If they could elevate some of the above mentioned components to match their prices and provide more consistent quality of dishes, that would vastly help!
