Gibbys n'est plus ce que c'était que nous croyons … nous avions des amis de l'extérieur il y a deux semaines & nous avions décidé de réserver au Gibbys pour une valeur assurée… hey bien non la viande était de piètre qualité dont nous n'avons jamais vu dans le passé… j'ai aussi dû retourner mon steak car la cuisson n'était pas ce que j'avais demandé… nous étions très déçus pour nos invités… on ne pense pas retourner … & pourtant nous sommes des habitués du Gibbys !!!

La nourriture était bien en général : Les côtelettes d'agneau étaient délicieuses, riz très basique par contre. Je m'attendais à plus au niveau du goût des fruits de mer surtout en considérant son prix.
Le service de notre serveur était impeccable. Ils offrent même un petit gâteau lorsque c'est l'anniversaire d'un client en plus d'une photo souvenir.

The steak was so good here & I'd rather go here than the Keg. I think prices are reasonable for a steakhouse to be honest. & I loved the bread & apps they served for free. You will not leave hungry.

Service was top notch. Pacing of the meal was perfect. We didn't feel rushed. Food was all you would expect from a long standing traditional steakhouse. The Beef Wellington was perfectly seasoned. We dined indoors which was cozy. The outdoor terrace looked quite inviting as well.

Je suis client depuis 30 ans tout est très très bon pour quelqu'un qui y va pour première fois, j'y vais depuis 30 ans & depuis 2 ans, ça fait 2 fois que j'ai des soucis, bref si c'est trop long entre les services, avisez les car un probleme de commande peut arriver & verifiez vos factures à la fin. Mais sommes toutes c'est vraiment bon.

Gibby's will always be the'go-to' place for anniversaries or birthday. A fancy place however reasonable prices.
Paid around $350 w tip
I got the Beef Carpaccio, half dozen Fresh Oysters, Beef Wellington, the 18oz Rib Eye steak plus a sparking water
Highly recommend the Monte Carlo version of the baked potato.
I recommend arriving 10-15mins earlier to find parking

Service incroyable de la part de notre serveur!
Compréhension extraordinaire de la part de la responsable: nous étions un groupe de parents avec des enfants atteints de cancer.
Tout en été mis en oeuvre afin de protéger nos enfants & leur faire vivre une expérience hors-pair!
Un merci sincère à toute l'équipe! ❤?

Gibby's provided a mixed experience. A recent visit (July 2025) for a special occasion was unfortunately a major letdown when compared to our five-star experience back in 2022. That first visit set a high bar, making Gibby's our top choice for this special celebration. Unfortunately, our recent experience was exceptionally disappointing.
Disenchanting Seating & Ambiance
I'd specifically requested a private, intimate table in my online reservation, knowing it was a special occasion. Arriving early on a Monday evening, the restaurant was not busy, with plenty of quieter seating available. Despite this, the hostess seated us in a noisy section, surrounded by a lively group of businessmen & a family with young children. Our small table was also positioned uncomfortably close to another, making private conversation impossible. It was baffling why, given my request & the available space, we were placed in such an unsuitable spot.
Rushed & Questionable Service
Our server was polite but seemed rushed. When I mentioned our special occasion, he gave a cursory acknowledgment, in stark contrast to the genuine interest shown by our server back in 2022. It felt like our server on this occasion was focused on moving things along & maximizing the bill, constantly suggesting the most expensive items & add-ons.
The wine service was particularly concerning. I asked for a recommendation & was immediately pointed to the priciest options. I selected a different bottle, still pricey but more reasonable, which he confirmed. However, the bottle he brought had an unusual label, making it hard to identify. I accepted it, but later discovered on the bill that it was $50 more expensive than what I ordered. I didn't want to haggle on our special night, but it left me wondering if it was an honest mistake. He also acknowledged my request for a decanter but never brought it.
Underwhelming Food & Value
The food quality wasn't as good as our previous visit. Both steaks, ordered medium, arrived well-done. We chose not to send them back, simply wanting to conclude our disappointing evening. Unlike our 2022 visit, there were no complimentary desserts for our special occasion.
Ultimately, our bill was significantly higher than before, for a far less satisfying experience. The combination of the poor seating, rushed & seemingly up-selling service, & food issues meant our special occasion dinner felt unpleasant & overpriced.
Conclusion - Highly Disappointed
While Gibby's has a charming historic setting was very impressive back in 2022, my recent visit demonstrated a significant dip in quality & value. The best part of our July 2025 visit was recalling the wonderful experience we had two years prior. After this experience, & considering all the other great options in the area, I'm not sure if a third visit is likely.

The food was good but could be better seasoned. Service was fantastic! The restaurant was around 27-28 degrees. We were fanning ourselves throughout the whole meal. It was very unpleasant. Washrooms had urine all over the floor & overflowing toilets.

The last of my favourite restaurants finally has fallen. Once my first choice for birthdays or any celebration but now I will definitely think twice before going back.
Service left a lot to be desired. Waitress seemed bothered anytime a request was made, making a big deal about having to'go down to the kitchen'. Pickles & bread took forever to arrive, along with taking our order. Sat nearly 30 minutes before we were served & another 20 before any food hit the table.
Food was good but not excellent. Prices have increased but the quality has gotten worse. Steak was not cooked correctly.
Overall not the experience I expect for $100+ a head. Very disappointed & I am sad to say that I will be looking elsewhere for a high quality dining experience.
Edit: Management responded to my concerns promptly, assured me that changes are going to be made at the restaurant & offered some compensation. Will see how my next experience is & update the review.
Edit 2: Went back tonight & my experience was much better, while there were still some issues with the kitchen they certainly made up for it. Service was much better & I would definitely return.
