   The food quality is great , meals were present beautifully. They even provided bread first, for free! I know all fine dining restaurants did this before the COVID, but lots of those restaurants don’t do it anymore. Beautiful and elegant deco, also. Everything looks perfect.

   Said they couldn't find our reservation but could seat us anyway. First time we have eaten in the bar. Server was very good. Food was excellent and served at the correct temperature.

   J gilberts is still a great place to get a meal but if you been going for a long time - old expectations are just not met anymore, except for our server Kim who has taken care us for years!! Menu is still pretty similar, but steaks are prepared differently, I believe they got rid of the pecan they used to cook over. Overall atmosphere is busy and hustle bustle and no real feeling that each and every visitor is special like you used to get. for example, we have been at least 1/2 dozen times since it was taken over by Landry's, probably more, and we don't know a single person's name on the team outside our server. Dan, Ali, Carl, Kim, Joe, Richie, and others were like extended family. Kim is all that remains, and while she always makes it special - it is not the same. If I am speaking to people considering it for the first time - It's a good place. seating is a bit more private than say an Ocean Club or Hyde Park, food and options are pretty good (not up to par with the two aforementioned) but pricing is more reasonable. Lobster meal, Scallops, appetizer, desert and 3 drinks and was $150. Similar would be $225 at those others.

   It’s been one of our favorite places for years, but I think they forgot how to cook a steak. Ordered it medium, the filet was charred on the outside and raw in the middle. Not sure we’ll be going back.
