"It 's not often that a place hits 5 stars on everything but man....... from the start, walk up talk to the host , dude was nice and got us a table right away..... now I know some of you might think, yea whatever, you just got lucky and they weren 't busy . Not the case, host asked us if we were on a rush or if we could possibly finish in less then two hours. We are actually fast eaters and didn 't want to spend a lot of time there. The simple fact that they have a system in place for people like us sped up our seating (the table they had for us had a reservation two hours later). We get seated. From the start our server JAYLAN was courteous and helpful with the menu. We got our drinks. They were perfect and some of the best drinks I 've had in my life. I grew up in So Cal was into the bar scene hitting up all the good spots plus I 've been to a lot of places regions. Food. Jaylan recommended river rock beef. It was amazeballs. Perfectly seasoned, quality meat. Fast forward, we get all of our food. Everything was scrumptious and superb. Order more drinks all delicious. Service was amazingly fast considering how busy they were. We get the bill. I was prepared for a high one. NOPE!!! It was fair. You get what you pay for. Next time we 're in Omaha we will make it a point to go there."

"First, the restaurant is super cool. You enter and immediately see the open kitchen and bar below. We were seated with a great view of the working kitchen. It was our anniversary and they presented us with complimentary bubbly and a menu that read Happy Anniversary at the top. Our server was prompt and kind. We ordered apps and our meal at the same time. Apps were a little slow but we don 't mind taking our time. The andouille sausage over grits was good but a bit oversalted. The croquettes were good but somewhat mushy. Overall flavor profile was good. Some time passed after completing our appys and began to notice the kitchen plating dishes and entrees being served to every table except ours. Again, not in a hurry so we weren 't upset. But it became excessive. Large groups seated while we had appetizers were served their entrees. Small tables seated after we finished our appetizers were served. The kitchen can put out food fast, just not ours. So now our apps are expanding in our belly and our excitement about our meals are diminishing. Finally our entrees arrived. My snapper raw. So sad. The gnocchi was ok but again, way over salted. But the flavor profile was so good. This had the ability to be amazing. My husband ordered the wagyu flank steak. It was just not good. He barely ate one piece and left his sides as again they were way way over salted. Our server noticed that we barely ate our meals and spent time asking for feedback. She was very kind and the manager discounted my meal (which I did not want, but appreciate). Anyway, we probably won 't be back. Good presentations. Very good flavor profiles. Failure to deliver overall though due to extremely salty, improper cooking and extraordinary wait times. Hopefully they can improve as some other recent reviews reflect similar feedback."

"We went for lunch with the little ones. The decor inside is clean, fresh, and is on theme for a seafood restaurant. We ordered: 1. Brussel sprouts these were seasoned well and had a great texture. (4.5/5 2. Beignet style hush puppies this was a unique elevated take on this classic seafood side. We enjoyed the flavors and textures. (5/5 3. Thai clam chowder fresh quality ingredients, with a side of heat . Each bite added to the slow burn on this dish. Overall, it was pretty good, and we enjoyed the innovative flavors on this classic. (4/5 4. Caesar salad with grilled chicken this was probably one of my favorite salads to date. The chicken was prepared perfectly and had great flavors. (7/5 5. Jalapeño salmon burger overall good flavors, wasn't my cup of tea, but the SO enjoyed it. (4/5 6. Fried snapper sandwich solid sandwich with good fries. The person who ordered said it needed a little more salt but still tasty. (4.5/5 7. Kids meal cute presentation and had great side options. Our service was great and I would return if in the area to try some additional dishes."

"My wife and I visited J. Gilbert’s on a trip to the east coast a few months ago. We enjoyed it so much that we decided to stop on our way back west. Raven helped us, and did an amazing job guiding us through the menu and drink selection (lots of choices). J.Gilbert’s is now one of our favorites and is the #1 restaurant on our list to go to when in Omaha. Thanks!"

"Stopped after a long day of traveling, always ready for some good sushi. Cons: fish portions are tiny compared to competitors. I had two rolls, they both tasted like rice. Boring. No light soy at the table, regular soy easily overpowered the slight fish flavor. Pros: my server Emily was awesome. She was available and attentive while being friendly. Squid!!! First restaurant in the Midwest I have found squid in something other than ring calamari. Recommendation for Hiro 88, capitalize on the squid and offer both raw and cooked dishes. A calamari steak main dish is an amazing thing. Calamari steak fries are also a great appetizer option."
