    Everything was perfect. The only complaint is how they had a pre made menu for Valentines Day. The menu was very limited and I was ultimately disappointed with the options. Nothing that I would’ve enjoyed. So I had to settle.

    Micheal our server went above and beyond to make my husband and I feel special during a very luxurious lunch to celebrate his 60th birthday. We tried Eve egg luxury bite and loved them all. The wagyu tartar and king crab and potato skin w caviar were our favorites. Oysters were stellar! Beet and apple salad was a refreshing bridge between our small bites and steak with lobster tail. And the au gratin potatoes and mushroom sides were each beyond outstanding.

    I just went here for our anniversary and it was an excellent experience. The food was amazing. The grilled shellfish platter was one of the best dishes I’ve had in my life. We had a little bit of a later reservation so the kitchen was closing soon after our appetizers but our server made sure to get our entree order in and did not make us feel rushed at all. He brought us out some desert and even a little toast to celebrate our anniversary. Our busboy as well noticed that our table was uneven and fixed it without being asked. Even the manager was attentive and stopped by the table to see how everything was. I will 1000% be back for the excellent service and amazing food.

    Gibson’s is one of our favorite “special occasion” places (Valentine’s Day, milestone birthday, etc.). Fantastic food and service. Elvis was a great server and we look forward to our next visit.
