   Wonderfully executing dining experience. The 22oz bone in rib-eye is a feast of exceptional taste. Hands down, the greatest steak that I’ve ever eaten.

   The ambiance was very “Rat Pack” , if you know what I mean. We like the vibe. The filet steaks were seared a little too much with more char than I would have expected. Mine was cooked perfectly at medium. My wife’s was more much more char and it showed it by being a tad over done for medium. The grilled asparagus was a little tough and blackened on half the spear tips to the point of being overly burned. The Manhattan I ordered was made perfectly. Overall it was priced as expected but the food prep needs more work. If you tout yourself as an upscale steakhouse the food should be flawless in the preparation. Service was excellent.

    Disappointed croutons are no longer standard issue on house salad and the croutons that do come out are lackluster in taste/quality.

    We enjoyed our dinner at Gibson’s for my husband’s birthday. I called the restaurant ahead of time and asked to be seated in the sun room. We were pleased that we got the table in the area we wanted to sit at even though we understood there was no guarantee. Our server was very professional and helpful. We had couple hick ups with our appetizer and wine being late, but we were not charged for those items which made up for the delay. My steak was cooked a bit more on the medium side then medium-rare I asked for. But all in all, it was a great meal and experience. We will be back.

    This restaurant was highly recommended and it did not disappoint. I wanted to have a steak, but this big, beautiful lobster tail was waved under by nose and I gave in to temptation. The wait staff was amazing and it was icing on the cake to have live music in the bar.

    Every time we visit Chicago we eat at Gibson’s. Sadly due to COVID it’s been almost 3 years since we were last here, but it was just as we remembered. The waiters are top notch and provide incredible service. The food is always excellent, and my steak (the fillet) was the best steak I’ve ever had in my life. Unlike other steak houses, Gibson’s includes a free salad which is really quite good. We rounded out dinner with the crab and avocado appetizer which was amazing, sautéed spinach (with lots of garlic) and the passion fruit sorbet. It was an amazing dinner and we will be back the next time we are in town.

    This was the first dinner spot we went to and I loved it so much we went back 2 more times for drinks, the pineapple tequila old fashionedwas phenomenal. The steak had a delicious, well seasoned crust. We can't wait to come back. Service was wonderful and we were surprised with a little treat for our anniversary.

    I’m a faithful diner of Gibson’s. I’m there 2x monthly at least—I love it. So this was a real disappointment. Took my daughter and a friend out for a Friday lunch to kick off the weekend. First they couldn’t find the reservation. Then they seated my guest at a different booth than where they sat me. Forgot the appetizer and served entrees…server nowhere to be found…dirty dishes not removed. Server started to box up dessert while we were still eating. Finally, despite being given multiple credit cards they lost one and returned the check to the table without one card and check not being split. Awful. A trip to the manager made everything right but why did it happen? Their servers are better than that. Food and drinks were all great—crab cakes, steak salad, whitefish, espresso martini, all of it. But service leaves a mark that is not easily forgotten.

    Our waiter was friendly and informative. We haven’t been in 15 years and it was just as good (if not better) than what we remembered. Don’t go to Chicago without eating at Gibson’s. Steak salad was a perfect combo and just enough steak. I had to save room for the Turtle dessert!!! Beyond yummy!

    Muy mala experiencia, he visitado Gibson’s por lo menos dos veces al año por los últimos cuatro años y esta vez fue particularmente malo. Tenía reservación a las 9:00pm y después de 45 minutos de espera y varias preguntas por mi reservación, me acerqué una vez más a recepción y me dijeron que por error de la persona encargada de recibir a las personas con reservación, no se había confirmado que ya estábamos presentes, por lo que pedí hablar con un gerente y se acercó una persona con muy pocas calidades de gerente a discutir y nada más decir que teníamos que seguir esperando. Después de unos minutos de discusión la alternativa de este gerente fue ofrecerme de muy mala manera una bebida gratis, como si eso fuera lo que yo estuviera pidiendo, algo de gratis, a lo que le dije que no quería nada de gratis lo que quería era sentarme a comer. Después de aproximadamente otros 20 minutos de espera nos dieron nuestra mesa y comimos ya cuando el restaurante estaba cerrando por lo que la comida estuvo mala y fría. No creo que vuelva a Gibson’s, hay muchas otra alternativas de restaurantes de carnes en Chicago como: Morton’s, Fogo du Chau y miles mas que si se preocupan por atender bien a sus clientes.
