Feb. 2024 - it seems like every 2 years, we come to this historic establishment for a great Gibby's dinner. You can never go wrong with the food. I've been eating here for over 50 years, & it is consistently excellent. The salad is ample in quantity, the steaks are perfectly cooked & the sides, vegetables & potatoes are always amazing. This was, however, the first time that I was NOT impressed with the service. Yes, it was busy, but there's more that enough staff. Forks went flying, tea, coffee, & chocolate mints were thrown on the table, & I never received my birthday cake that Gibby's was so famous for. It's unfortunate. I was so looking forward to it. When my husband called to make the reservation, they even asked for my name & how it was spelled. Because I was so unhappy my husband went to maitre d' & mentioned the fact. They were nice about it & said that they had a cake mentioned in the reservation. They will give it to us to take home. Ten minutes later, the waiter says there is an issue, they don't have a cake but her will give us 2 pieces of a dessert to take home. I got a box. Not sure what's inside, but I will let you know once I get home. Well, inside were two pieces of Blueberry cheese cake & 2 containers of blueberry coulis Thank you Gibby's. Customer satisfaction all the way. Feb 2022 - Another birthday was spent at Gibby's Montreal. I had the Petit Filet Mignon & a Lobster Tail with the Monte Carlo potato. Never disappointing. The lobster tail was small but excellent. My husband ordered the Gibby's cut 22oz steak with fries. He ordered it medium, but it came medium-rare. It was a little too blue for him, so he returned it. This is now the second time we have eaten here & had to return food. The waiter was nice about the issue, & it was immediately corrected. The birthday cake was great as usual. It's a vanilla cake with whip cream & fruit in the center. Don't forget the pic they give you to take home. It may be for some a bit pricey but well worth it. It is a good value because everything is included. All mains come with salad, potato, & veggies.

A great high end restaurant in Old Montreal, very good steak & seafood, desserts etc, even the hot bread is good. Location is actually an old stable. The only minor frustration is waiting for the valet parking to retrieve your car when you are leaving - sometimes can take 15-20 mins when its busy. They allow you to take leftovers home, which is also nice. Service is professional, ambiance top notch, so one of the best higher priced restaurants in Old Montreal.

We brought my mom there once for her birthday & It was her first time at Gibby's. We called to reserve & specifically told them that it was for a birthday. At the end, our waitress was not made aware of that & we missed the celebratory dessert. It was supposed to be a special night. The same thing happened to my sister tonight, she went for an anniversary dinner & did let them know prior to coming but their waiter was not aware of the special occasion. Love the food & ambiance but the service is meh.

My wife & I were celebrating a very special anniversary, so we decided to dine at Gibbys, & it turned out to be a great choice. We have been satisfied customers for over 50 years & have had some very memorable meals during that time period. Gibbys is located in a historic building built during the 18th & 19th centuries & there is an incredible feeling of stepping into Montreal's past which only adds to Gibbys ambiance. Now for the most important part of our meal, the food. We both started with a generous portion of Gibbys mixed salad. My wife chose a delicious Grilled Salmon & I ordered a thick & juicy Filet Mignon Steak cooked to perfection. Both plates were garnished with a Monte Carlo Baked Potato & asparagus. Because it was our special occasion the waitress brought to our table a beautiful cake for dessert, & I also have to add the service was splendid throughout our dinner. We left Gibbys with a full belly & a happy heart & with another memorable meal to remember.

Jeremie made our anniversary dinner one to never forget!!! He was INCREDIBLE!!! His service from start to finish was impeccable, he went above & beyond the expectations we had & we are so grateful we had him as our server for the evening. The food was amazing, & when the steak was not cooked to our liking they had zero problems correcting it. Jeremie even went the extra mile to offer to find me medicine when I had mentioned I wasn’t feeling the greatest. The flavours were spot on for all of the food & dessert was amazing. This was a great dinner, great staff, great location. Would definitely recommend!!!
