Reviews for J. Gilbert's Wood Fired Steaks & Seafood Columbus in Omaha, NE

Had a dinner date with a good friend. This was both of our 1st time, needless to say the atmosphere and ambiance was elegant.... The waiter was very informative and helpful. Our course I had Pineapple Martinis, delicious. Our entrees were cooked like wewanted. Everything was superb. I will return and treat myself. Read more

The place is located in the Marriott building and has a lot of parking and easy access. The food was great and the service... (server B. - thank you) very good. It was a good tempo between the dishes, allowing the food to settle. I liked the filet Mignonthat I ordered. It was flavored and juicy. The Maryland crab bisque soup was served very nicely. The flavor and the soup'stemperature were great. Complementary bread and butter were also very good. We took the desert home....so no review yet.????. I'll recommend this place ????????????

**UPDATE** We recently came back for Round 3! Just like the first 2 times, the food and service was great. I got the lamb chops... again and my husband got the steak. We also tried the calamari and it was amazing! **Original** The food was amazing and theservice was even better! We came for my birthday celebration and they had a handwritten card waiting for me. They also treatedme to desert! I love this place and will continue to come back! Read more

For our anniversary my husband and I went to J. Gilbert's Wood Fired Steaks and we were very happy with our meals and our... service. The sourdough bread had a good crust, but the bread itself tasted like it needed some salt in the mix. The MarylandCrab bisque was the star of the night for me. I loved the theatrics of pouring the bisque to cover the crab right in front ofyou. The taste was show stopping and I would love to know how they got the sensation of heat after every bite without it beingspicy. It was phenomenal! I ordered the Twin Canadian Cold Water Lobster tails and enjoyed every bite. The potatoes weredelicious. The asparagus was perfectly cooked, but the tomato (while adding color to the plate) didn't really balance well withthe asparagus. My husband ordered the bone in pork chop. It was well seared and perfectly cooked. He also enjoyed his potatoes.The corn contained bits of bacon inside and he thought that was tasty. The Lobster Mac and Cheese was good, but was a lotheavier on the bread crumbs than the lobster. My husband had the creme brulee and it was the largest portion I have ever seen!The top was perfectly fired so it didn't taste burnt at all. It contained a single raspberry, so I do think the description wasa little off. My chocolate velvet cake was incredibly rich. The raspberry ice cream was the star of the dish for me. I think itneeded more acidity to balance the dish, raspberry puree or ganache perhaps. The service was good and our waters were neverempty. Our server was fabulous and friendly. We had a memorable evening and were glad to give it a try. Read more

Lovly fine dining restaurant. I did not feel that this was as romantic and we had hoped, the seating is a bit closer with a... slightly louder and brighter environment. The menu was an excellent balance of seafood and steak options. I enjoyed the pre-setmenu. The pre-set menu has an excellent selection of food for your 3 course meal. The cook on the steaks was beautiful, and thewoodfire gave a beautiful smell and added to the flavor. The crab soup was very delicious, with a beautiful table presentation.They bring the bowl with the lump crab in the bottom for you to see and then pour the soup over at the table. Keeping your crabfresh and delicate, very delicious. I saw that the other soup (tortilla) was also presented this way. The smoked bourbon is alsopoured at the table. Delicious desserts and excellent house salad. Read more

We went here for our Anniversary dinner and it was nothing short of amazing! I had the Tomahawk and she has the NY Strip and... both were cooked to perfection with great sides! Can't wait to go again! Read more

Based on my previous ratings, I feel this place deserves a 6 star for sure, of course it's pricey and so is the taste. The chef... needs a compliment for sure for the amazing options and maintaining great taste and presentation for every item. Smoked oldfashioned was actually smoked and a bottle of smoke served with it to support the aura. Sour dough bread was so soft and tasty.Seafood platter was just amazing, that charbroiled taste was just ummm. Not sure when I had such tasty shrimp & crab cakebefore. Noting was fried and very tasty. The carrot cake though, not my favorite.. sorry chef. I felt the cheese outside was alittle too much and not complimenting. But hey, I'm no expert here, just a connoisseur of food. Up to the patrons now. Read more

Amazing atmosphere, service and food. Everything feels very upscale, making it a great place for a fancy date night or business... dinner. Here’s a tip: Get the carrot cake. We were going back and forth but finally decided to order it when we saw it arriveat a nearby table. It’s incredibly rich, and the piece was giant. The cake itself is so moist and spiced, but the filling,frosting and additional sauce just take it over the edge. Order the carrot cake. Read more
