About

Gibby's serves as a destination for prime cuts of beef and fresh seafood within a historic stone building defined by wood-burning fireplaces and dark wood accents. The menu focuses on dry-aged steaks that are trimmed on-site, alongside Atlantic salmon, rainbow trout, and oysters harvested from cold waters. Traditional sides such as baked potatoes, pickles, and sourdough bread accompany the primary meat and fish courses. Patrons encounter a multi-room layout that maintains an atmosphere of seclusion and warmth through its thick stone walls and low ceilings. The culinary preparation emphasizes classic grilling techniques over open flames to achieve specific textures and flavor profiles. Every selection of seafood undergoes rigorous sourcing standards to ensure consistency across the entire menu. This establishment functions as a dedicated center for meat and aquatic offerings in a centralized urban environment.

The food is just amazing. The wine by the glass was also top notch. Four of us had the prix fixe lunch & the food value & quality is unmatched. Our reservation was at 11:30am but we didn't leave until 3pm! As much as we loved the food & the atmosphere, the service was much worse than expected & then we deserve. The apps & entrees came quickly. But things slowed to a crawl after that. Dessert came much later & then we had to beg for our coffee. Our waiter completely ignored us until the final bill. We had to ask other staff for our dessert & coffees. Sure, they maybe short staffed & it was a busy long weekend but there is no excuse for just ignoring us completely.

I was nervous coming here because people r saying'ever since ownership changed it fell off' but that couldnt be farthest from the truth

We were walked through a whole experience & everything was amazing, 10/10

They even brought a complimentary sorbet before the steak as a pallet cleanse

Impeccable. Belle table d'hôte du midi. Nourriture excellente. Service courtois & chaleureux. Première expérience pour le dîner & j'y retournerai. Mon fils avait choisi le carré d'agneau & le tartare de boeuf comme entrée. De mon côté, huîtres en entrée & filet mignon en repas. Mise en bouche frais & dessert mousse au chocolat. Toujours pain chaud, beurre fouetté & succulents concombres en bienvenue.

Une expérience absolument inacceptable. On a passé notre commande autour de 20h50 & on n'a reçu nos plats qu'à 22h50, soit deux heures d'attente. Pendant tout ce temps, il n'y avait aucune communication claire & très peu d'excuses. En plus, le plus décevant, c'est que, après avoir attendu deux heures, plusieurs steak étaient trop cuits.

On est partis extrêmement déçus & ce serait impossible de recommander cet établissement.

Omg! Anna was so so sweet as our server last night. She made some great recommendations for wine & steak & the mango/ coconut mocktail was to die for. Crab cakes were delicious!
