The crust is crispy but tasty. The toppings were very good. Even the Caesar dressing was very good. The order was ready when promised. What more can you ask from a pizza place?

J. Gilbert's is an "upscale casual" steakhouse serving prime-aged beef cooked over a mesquite wood-fired grill. Guests enjoy various cuts of steak, fresh seafood (including award-winning crab cakes) & other house made favorites like the Maytag Bleu potato chips. The cozy atmosphere includes rich wood, brick & soft lighting where you can enjoy a quiet table or host a large party. The extensive martini & wine list offers the perfect compliment to an excellent meal delivered with attentive service. J. Gilbert's is open daily for dinner & lunch. Reservations are recommended.

Great birthday dinner! Sam, our waiter, was awesomely attentive. The food was delicious (husband had the 6 oz. filet, me the cedar planked salmon) and prepared just as we asked. Sam was so kind to bag up our leftovers, including my complimentary birthday dessert. Although J. Gilbert's is a bit pricey for weekly dining out, we enjoy coming here several times a year for special occasions. It's always a great way to celebrate the year end holidays.

I chose Twisted Tree as my birthday dinner, and I was very happy I did. My filet was so tender I could cut it with my fork. The salad and side dish were absolutely fabulous. The service was good and I had a piece of wedding cake for dessert. All in all, it was a great experience. Thank you Twisted Tree!

My friend chose the roast beef-croissant, she said was delicious . I had chicken salad croissant, chicken salad was good, croissant was hands down the most delicious I've ever had !!!!!! ❤️
We decided not to get a dessert today, but looking forward to a return visit very soon !!

Reviewed By VLE_WhereToNext - Nashville, Tennessee
Interesting location in old home but makes it a little crowded and loud. Food was good, had steaks and salmon. Side was served in tiny bowl which is unusual for high end steak house, small portion and felt like “meat and three” side, plenty of room on main plate for side to make better presentation. Overall would say good, not great, and a bit overpriced. Would probably explore other steakhouses on next visit instead of returning here.

We have visited this restaurant twice. My husband and I split a sandwich the first time. It was very good. We recently went on Dec. 22 around lunch. The service was great. We ordered a large pizza, which was WAY too big for us. It was excellent.
8. Peppe's Apt 2

4.5 based on 108 reviews
Reviewed By JimSTL1021 - Saint Louis, Missouri
We tried Pepe's Apt 2 for the first time on a busy weekend night. They have beautiful garden terrace seating area that we chose over the noisy inside tables. Our server was new & very inexperienced. The food varied from outstanding veal & a halibut special to a very heavy and below average ribbon pasta with shrimp & a few tiny mushrooms in a heavy cream sauce that left much to be desired. If your tastes run toward classical old fashioned Italian, you may enjoy this place but if you are looking for a more modern & lighter version of old favorites, you might not like it.

Ok I'm basing my review on all the other BBQ I have eaten. I'm always looking for great BBQ in my travels. I asked for moist brisket and they gave me lean. So not impressed with it at all. The Ribs were Great and the burnt ends were very good. the burnt ends were moist and had tons of flavor. Ate at another BBQ place yesterday and it was so much better.
