J. Gilbert's Wood-Fired Steaks & Seafood Kansas City

I liked this place! Elegant but relaxed atmosphere. No rush to eat and get out. Good wine list by the glass there were plenty of choices. Nice selection of entrees. I really liked this appetizer of homemade chips in a blue cheese sauce. My bone in Ribeye was a nice size and my Jalapeño potato augratin was a nice surprise. The bar area looked like it could accommodate alot of peiple and there were plenty of open spaces. I will be back in town and will be back here. And my pineapple Martini was good but I would recommend a touch of spice like maybe a bit of heat.

Went out for a dinner on the town. The atmosphere is dark and very romantic. Great for dates and anniversaries. The service was second to none. Very friendly and very attentive. Gave great recommendations and super knowledgeable. The steaks we ordered were cooked to the correct temp, but they were a tough cut. The Crab Bisque was amazing, the smoked butter served with the bread is amazing and unique. The green beans and asparagus were two of my favorite things of the meal. Baked potato was delicious and the lobster mac could have used some more lobster. Didn't have much of a lobster flavor. This was our first visit, and I would definitely try it again. Thank you.

This is a steakhouse for particular tastes, specifically folks who like their food on the bland side. I had the 12 ounce ribeye with asparagus and mushrooms. All the food was well-prepared, but none of it had a distinctive flavor. Even the "blood and marriage" cocktail tasted mostly of citrus and not much else. For the restaurant's elevated price point, I'd hoped for something more. But I expect they know what their regular customers want, and they're good at delivering it. The dining area was dimly lit, and at the height of dinner rush the place was crowded and noisy. But the server was excellent.
