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.

A few years ago, my friends took me to Montreal for my bachelor party, knowing a great steak dinner was exactly what I needed. The Gibbys cut was perfectly tender & packed with flavor, complemented by a smooth, well-paired wine. The company made the experience even more memorable. Our waitress was outstanding-her recommendations were spot on, & she made us feel genuinely welcome, like part of the family. An unforgettable night-thank you again! Go Sabres

Writing this after retrieving my lost wallet from a professional team who placed it in their safe. Absolutely made my day.

The food? Delicious & fresh, unlimited pickles & bread, pallet cleanser between courses.
The decor? Cannot be beaten dining in a many hundreds year old establishment with exposed wood everywhere, silver cutlery & just a great atmosphere with impeccable service too.
The drinks? Off the charts delicious.

I can't wait to go back & eat pickles & about 4 old fashioneds at the ba

J'ai visité le Gibbys le 5 mai à midi pour célébrer mon anniversaire. En tant qu'influenceur qui partage régulièrement des expériences de vie locale & de restauration, je filmais également un vlog d'anniversaire afin de le partager avec mon audience. Le tournage ne concernait que moi & les plats, & n'incluait pas les autres clients ; tout a été fait de manière raisonnable & légale.

Objectivement, la nourriture & l'ambiance étaient bonnes, & cela mérite d'être souligné. Malheureusement, le service a considérablement dégradé l'expérience globale.

Notre serveur, Jack, a montré un manque de respect dès le début. Lorsque nous avons mentionné que nous allions partager tous les plats, il a répété notre demande sur un ton clairement sarcastique, ce qui nous a mis mal à l'aise.

Lorsque nous nous sommes installés, mon ami l'a clairement informé qu'il s'agissait de mon anniversaire, & il a indiqué qu'un dessert avec une bougie serait prévu. Cependant, lorsque le dessert est arrivé, il n'y avait ni bougie ni aucune attention pour l'anniversaire. Après lui avoir rappelé, il a simplement répété : « oh, vous avez besoin d'une bougie, c'est ça ? », puis en a ajouté une rapidement. Cette incohérence & ce manque de sens du service de base étaient très décevants.

Tout au long du repas, il est à peine venu nous voir. Les services de base comme débarrasser les assiettes & remplir les verres d'eau ont été assurés par un autre membre du personnel, Amanda.

En parallèle, nous avons clairement observé qu'Amanda offrait un service d'anniversaire complet à d'autres tables (chant d'anniversaire, photos, etc.). La différence de traitement était évidente.

Autres points à noter :

* Aucune proposition de café ou de thé avec le dessert
* Le supplément de gratinée sur la salade n'a pas été mentionné à l'avance
* Manque général de service proactif

Pour un restaurant positionné comme gastronomique, ce niveau de service est inacceptable. Tout au long de l'expérience, nous avons réellement eu le sentiment d'être traités différemment en tant que jeunes clients asiatiques.

Par respect pour la cuisine, nous avons tout de même laissé un pourboire de 15 %, mais cela ne reflète pas une satisfaction du service.

Cette visite devait être une expérience d'anniversaire mémorable à partager, mais au final, je ne peux que relater fidèlement ce qui s'est réellement passé. J'espère que la direction prendra la qualité du service au sérieux, car une bonne cuisine doit s'accompagner d'un service de même niveau.

Dans l'ensemble, une expérience très décevante.

Beautiful restaurant with a unique atmosphere, like an elegant tavern, with its old beams & walls. I can get a big noisy when busy.

Service was top notch from our server. They even took a Polaroid photo of us, when they learned it was my birthday.

Food wise, the wedge salad with blue cheese dressing is excellent. We were a bit disappointed by the Monte Carlo potato, it felt a bit'old' & wasn't as tasty as you might imagine. The beef wellington was excellent, I'll definitely re-order that in a future visit. The ribeye let us down.. The cook was fine, but it wasn't as tasty as I would have liked.

For desserts, we had the crème brûlée, it was so so, the cream wasn't perfectly smooth, it was a bit grainy.

Overall, we still had a great night, & Gibbys serves solid food in a unique atmosphere
