What happened to Gibbys?
My son chose Gibbys to celebrate his birthday with us (his parents) & his girlfriend. He was looking forward to an excellent steak, which in the past was a staple at Gibbys. Well, not any more! 3 out of 4 of us at the table ordered steak & we were very disappointed. The meat was very low quality (thin cuts, too much fat at the edges, & worst of all _very_ tough). This was at best Grade A beef.
My son ordered his steak rare as he has done elsewhere & did so with confidence given Gibbys past reputation. The steak was cold inside (not cool, cold!) & felt that it had just been taken out of the fridge (or the freezer) & quickly slapped onto the grill. My ribeye was like the bottom of a shoe, tough & with no flavor except for the spices. The meat had no marbling at all. My wife's steak was passable, but neither of the 3 steak lovers at our table finished their steaks, which _never_ happens in our family. The Monte Carlo potato was very good, thankfully.
We were left thinking how much better things are at The Keg, which is not even supposed to be in Gibbys' class.
The 4th guest had grilled salmon which looked good & tasted fine, no issues there. The'famous' Gibbys salad was ok, fresh ingredients, nice dressing, croutons & bacon bits all good.
We reserved through Opentable & had noted that it was for a birthday & asked for the cake & splarker, as well as the polaroid. On the eve of the reservation, we got a call from Gibbys to confirm our request, including the cake & sparkler. All good so far.
At the restaurant, at the end of the meal the waiter brings the cake. No sparkler. He said they ran out. What is the point of confirming then? Run out & get a bloody sparkler when you bother to confirm, that's what good service _is_. The cake was this tiny terrible dry cake, which was supposed to be dessert. It was such a turnoff that we didn't order real dessert, hurriedly paid the bill & made a note to write a review about our experience.
Our waiter was effective & polite, nothing over the top. The valet was excellent, polite, funny & efficient. He even took a picture of us at the entrance. We are all smiling as it is before the meal...
Our bill with tax & tip was over $750 ($761.95 to be precise, with tax & tip). Gibbys is not what it used to be & with so many excellent choices in Montreal we are never returning. Very disappointing.
Perfect steak, & attentive service from Jean-Marc. Slightly loud atmosphere but it was Christmas day. Valet a huge plus.
EDIT one year later, after a change in ownership, not up to usual standards. One of our party had an issue with the cook on her steak, & the waiter told her it was fine. Not the answer we expected. Service a little casual considering the price. Won't be back.
Un souper chez Gibbys est toujours une promesse d'excellence, & la nourriture, encore une fois, fut irréprochable. Mais ce qui a réellement marqué notre expérience, c'est Linda. Plus qu'une serveuse, elle a été une hôtesse de coeur, avec cette chaleur profondément québécoise qui vous enveloppe comme une couverture tricotée.
Malgré la barrière de la langue pour deux de nos invités qui ne parlait ni Français ni Anglais, elle a su créer une atmosphère d'une rare humanité, où chaque geste semblait personnalisé, chaque mot choisi pour que chacun se sente accueilli. On n'avait pas l'impression de se faire''servir'' c'était plutôt comme si nous étions invités chez un membre de la famille.
À une époque où il est de plus en plus rare de croiser des gens passionnés par leur métier, Linda nous a rappelé qu'un sourire sincère & une présence vraie peuvent transformer un repas en souvenir précieux. Si vous avez la chance de tomber sur elle - car elle n'est là que deux soirs par semaine - n'hésitez pas à demander sa section : ce sera un privilège qui ajoutera une touche unique à votre expérience.
Haven't been in years. Came for lunch with friends & their $50, 3 course menu is a real winner. Traditional sides like pickles & warm bread, plus that sorbet to cleanse your pallet in between courses. Oh & they still serve those minty cold chocolates at the end of the meal. A classic MTL resto that still delivers. Recommend !
Amazing food & overall Amazing experience in Gibbys! Big thanks to Vitali for the help & recommendation on the steak. Beef carpaccio left me speechless, so good!!
While this feels like a traditional steakhouse, they pay attention to every detail. Our service was wonderful & from the Gibby's salad to the seasonal cheesecake the food & cocktails were wonderful. You could also feel the history of the building. Highly recommend.
I gotta start by saying I didn't get a chance to eat here, but I was having dinner & there was a fire down the street & the restaurant lost power & we had a party of 40, they managed to find us another restaurant to fit us all. Fantastic service!
The food is classic but the best part for me is the little mint chocolates they give you with the bill, & our waiter is such a cute older gentleman ☺?
For the price you pay for the meal you'd expect much better service. Not that our waitress was slow it just that she had too many tables to take care of
They need to hire more staff. I was disappointed in the overall experience, coming from Texas, I was told it was a finest steakhouse in Old Montreal but I didn't think so.
Been to Montreal twice over my years & have now visited Gibbys twice. Worth the visit, very enjoyable experience. Beautiful building, great history, fantastic service & exceptional steak - my wife & I had a fantastic time, thank you!
Really good. If you don't like a heavily seasoned steak then dont get the seasoning & garlic on top the steak!
Truly a magnificent experience. This is one of the oldest & well respected steakhouses in Montreal. No real dress code but wear the best outfit you have. Filet mignon was succulent but really it's impossible to make a bad choice here. It's not cheap but given the caliber of the restaurant it's appropriate. Besides they treat you like a member of the aristocracy!
Excellent old school steakhouse. They were very busy & possibly a little understaffed but the service was still excellent. Steak was delicious & expertly prepared. Wedge salad among the best I've ever had. Only criticism would be the veggies included with the meal were very sparse. Great wine list with a few reasonably priced gems available. If you want the classic steakhouse experience this is it.
We are here on holiday & wanted a special occasion restaurant for the trip & our anniversary. We arrived a little early but no issue & we were given a table for two at the back next to one of the serving desks. Started with a great house martini & enormous pickles, bread etc. We both ordered shrimps & fillet mignon. Shrimps were lovely - sweet & juicy, although interesting that they were sourced from India rather than the Canadian variety. Mains were so so. We ordered our meat medium & they came with a nice bark on them but were definitely on the done side of medium. Wine was good although got the feeling that even though I was getting a good bottle, I was being pushed for something more expensive.
Being near the serving end of things we definitely got to see & hear a lot more than we would have liked, especially relating to the'management' of the more junior staff. Not professional. Other downer for me was that as we were finishing out dessert, our waiter summarily slapped the bill down on our table (we had not requested it & the restaurant was not full & we had not been slow). I expressed surprise & said I was hoping to have an Irish coffee, so the bill was withdrawn & service resumed.
Overall, a lovely setting, regular luxury steak house but I have had better for less.
