J. Gilbert's Wood-Fired Steaks & Seafood Omaha

Top notch spot. Ribs are absolutely delicious and very large portion. Steaks... you already know these people do steaks right. The appetizers are great. The staff are very attentive and fun... especially my girl Maggie!!! Love you Maggie!! Prices are higher but they are to be expected in a place with so much to offer. get something to eat right now and ask for Maggie because she's the best.

Amazing service. Our meals were also exceptional, save for the vegetables. They were smoked, and tasted smokey. Not our favorite. Stick with a traditional roasted method, and customers will likely enjoy them more. Save the smoke for meat. That said, we'll be back!

We went to celebrate our anniversary and enjoyed one of our best meals ever. I know the menu changes but if pretzel crusted onion rings are available, highly recommend this appetizer! Steak and seafood both cooked to perfection and sides were wonderful - can’t figure out how they make mashed potatoes taste so good!

Returned recently. Did the prix fixe dinner again. The price was $51 and $61, up from my previous review. This time my choice was the 14 oz Kansas steak I upgraded to the lobster Mac and Cheese for an extra 6. It was very bland. We told the server and she removed it from our bill with no issues. The mashed potatoes remains a winner. My friends ordered other items. The lobster tails were good as well, but my favorite was the rack of lamb. I also tried their blackened chicken penne pasta. That was good, but not outstanding. I had the soup again, my friends ordered the salads. The portions are huge. That goes for the desserts as well. previous review_______ First time going. Disappointing non alcoholic selection. I asked if they could do something but was told they don't do mocktails by the server. Fresh bread service. Served warm Two butters. Both whipped for easy spread. One was plain the other was smoked pastrami flavored with no meat. The flavored butter was fabulous. We came to try the prix fixe menu. Both opted for the steaks 6 oz at 48 dollars. I upgraded mine too the 58 dollar so that I could have seafood adding the scallops. Comes with choice of soup or salad, a number of different entrees (ours came with 2 sides which we could choose even though there is a suggested pairing, with paying a 3.50 surcharge for the wild mushrooms and truffle oil) and a choice of dessert (from a list) Soup crab bisque tasted great. Large chunks of crab in the center. Served at the perfect serving temperature (restaurant style, I prefer mine hotter, but good for people who don't want to burn themselves.) My friend had the salad and exclaimed it was so good it didn't need the dressing. I did not try it though. Steak was phenomenal. 5 stars Scalloped potatoes was the best side we tried 5 stars Asparagus was perfectly cooked with a nice smoky flavor. The ends were not trimmed high enough as it was very tough. Skip the mushrooms with the surcharge unless you just really want mushrooms. They weren't that special, but were fine. I didn't really notice the truffle oil. I wouldn't do the scallops again. For $10 and the pieces you got it wasn't a bad value, but it just didn't add enough to my meal. It was plain and didn't stand out at all. I would like to try the crab cakes next time to see if that may be better. I would recommend this meal. I love prix fixe dining and their steaks were stand outs. Photo taking isn't great on the second floor when seated in the hallway with pot lights. It didn't feel very intimate, but we were also two girls out in the town so maybe they thought we wanted to be seen. The hallway over looks the bar/lounge. We chose 2 desserts... Chocolate cake is very rich, sweet and decadent Our favorite was the raspberry ice cream served on the side of the cake. It was velvety smooth The berries with creme anglaise was ok. The berries are fresh, but also quite tart as they weren't that ripe. For me it wasn't the best ending for a meal. The creme anglaise wasn't enough to cover all the berries to sweeten them. In this case I might have preferred mascerated berries for a more balanced taste, but if you want something tart then this might be too your liking. The server was very friendly but not engaging enough that I felt comfortable saying what I did not prefer. He didn't probe or question when there were items left on the plate. Service was professional with a sense of humor.

I’ve heard so many wonderful things and I was so excited to come here. I hadn’t had a good fillet in a long time because we very rarely dine out so I ordered the 6 ounce fillet and it truly tasted like a burnt hamburger. I never sent food back but I was so excited to eat a good piece of meat and ask them for another cut. The second one was awful as well. My husband who loves all beef agreed that it was one of the worst steaks he’s ever had. We got brussels sprouts that were not very well cooked. Our 55 bottle of wine normally 14.99 What is the best part of our meal. What was the most frustrating is that my waiter seemed irritated that I returned my steak and said I wish you would’ve told me earlier. When he brought it back there’s no way that he could not tell I was unhappy still he stated next time you should order at medium instead of asking if there was something else I wanted. We spent $300 which is very unlike us and just had much higher expectations. Disappointed So not only has nobody responded to my review but I also emailed and I have not gotten a response. They respond to all their positive reviews but apparently not when somebody is unhappy

Went with another couple. The food was among the best we've had in Omaha. I would rate it six or seven stars if I could. The salad was super and the steaks were so tender you could cut them with a fork. The salmon was delicious. Our waitress did an outstanding job. Will definitely return.

Smoke infused old fashioned is great and the steaks are perfect. The steak had a perfect inside and an incredibly flavorful crust.

10OZ Sirloin, one of the best steak houses in the country. If you are in Omaha and you eat steak then you must eat here. I recommend the bone in ribeye. I wish I would have ordered that....Next time.

It's hard to imagine a more disappointing evening. The wine list looked promising, bit the first bottle we ordered they were out of. Could happen anywhere, but it was more like a precursor to the rest of the dinner. We ordered the pretzel crusted onion rings, as they sounded unique. They are enormous, and I believe they could be really good, but they arrived under cooked, wet and doughy on the inside. (The house steak sauce dip was pretty good.) My wife ordered the 4 oz fillet and crab cake combination, and I ordered the 14 oz dry aged new york strip special. 10 minutes later, here comes the waitress with the news. "I'm sorry, we just ran out of the special, would you like to see the menu?" I somewhat hastily ordered the ribs, even though I know better than to order ribs in a steak place, but I tried to order steak, and that was a fail, so what the heck. Let me say, the waitress was great, and the scalloped potatoes we good. The ribs were huge, but predictably dry and boring. My wife's fillet and crab cake were literally the size of 2 silver dollars, so sharing was out of the question. Overall experience, C-. Sorry guys, but in a city known for great steak houses, you have to do better than that.
