Reviews for J. Gilbert's Wood Fired Steaks & Seafood Columbus in Des Peres, MO

Here’s our experience I got the 1/2 lb lobster tail. This is what I was expecting in the pic(the picture is the picture from... their social media) I received two tiny lobster tails. So I tried to ask the server, were you out of the 1/2 lb lobster tail?He responded “2 4 oz tails are a 1/2 a lb”. So it was two things wrong with this response, yes we know math but thatwasn’t my question. We also know what 4 ounces look like and that they were not. They were 3 ounces at best and my husband hadto share his scallops with me. 2nd, his drinks consistently came out half full even his mule. We were told that was how it wassupposed to be. The crab cakes were just blah, definitely top of the line crab meat but not much flavor outside ofthat. Server was just ok, he was being impatient with our questions from the start. My husband is a mule drinker and he askedif they had proper mule cups and he goes “everywhere you go if you get a mule it’ll be in copper” i jumped in and saidactually not true which is why he’s asking because if it comes in a glass because yours are dirty he’ll send it back, whichhas happened to us recently. We felt there were “assumptions” being made about the caliber of customer he was serving. Read more

I was not expecting a restaurant in a mall to be this good, but the food was amazing! Hands down THE BEST crab bisque I have... ever had in my life. A little on the pricey side and a long wait if you don't have reservations, but really delicious. Read more

A great meal and an excellent atmosphere. The steak was perfectly cooked to exactly the right temperature, and the sides were... equally delicious. This is a really great place for a quiet meal at a reasonable price point for what you're getting. Read more

I wish I had stopped in sooner, this place is great! The happy hour is what lured us in (actually, an article about how... comfortable their seating is really put this on my list), but upon seeing the full menu, we knew we had to come back, and wedid! The happy hour sliders were my favorite. When we turned another time for dinner, we got jumbo lump crab cakes (app),mushroom risotto (a la carte), KC strip, and the seven layer coconut cake. Everything was awesome. The atmosphere was fancy, thewait staff was attentive, the manager asked how everything was going, the food was amazing, I don't really have anything bad tosay. The coffee was good too! Paired nicely with dessert. Read more

Amazing food, amazing service. My wife and I celebrated our 1 year anniversary here and it did not disappoint. We had an... absolute blast! The Tomahawk Ribeye was excellent. Read more

Very very wonderful meal. Would not recomend taking your kids here or anyone under 14. Very complex tastes. Amazing, very... attentative service. Only note I have is that, if you get the prosciutto, they do hand cut it there. I had a shard of bone inours. Be mindful of that. Otherwise, outstanding, and great. Pricey, but one of the nicer places to eat in ST. Louis. Read more

Excellent higher end steak and seafood restaurant. Be sure to make a reservation as they fill up quickly, otherwise the wait can... be long. Steaks were cooked exactly to specification and the fish was flavorful with a balanced amount of seasoning. Sidesreally shined with the Creamed Corn with Bacon being an exceptional standout!
