Our mixologists behind the bar will happily shake up handcrafted cocktails or pour a glass of local wine to pair with brunch on the weekends. Join us for homestyle cooking, friendly faces and a table that feels like home. We limit our environmental footprint by using a digital menu linked to our tables with a QR code. We understand that some guests may require a paper menu, and one can be provided with a list of standards items upon request. In order to meet added costs from the city, we've added a voluntary 3% COB fee to our checks. We understand that rising costs affect our guests too, so we will remove this fee upon request.

You can always count on Gibson’s for a quality steak in a fashionable location. I was dining with a friend you had a short term dietary restriction. Our server, Lee, said they had nothing on the menu to meet it but he promised to check with the kitchen. Lee returned with the item, from a nearby restaurant, so our entire party didn’t have to change locations. Outstanding service!

The service started out strong, then petered out. Our meal, however, was quite good, and we would most likely return.

I hesitate to let everyone know how fabulous Eden is, but that's a bit selfish. EVERYTHING on the menu (and our group ordered a lot of different items) was perfectly cooked, creative and layered with flavor. The service, as always was outstanding, the cocktails were delicious and everyone seems committed to making sure you enjoy the evening (or lunch or brunch).
