Specials are always top notch. With seasonal appeals. With regularity my daughter and I go for dinner. I mostly order from the specials list and have not once been disappointed. Service is wonderful and the price point is so well valued for such a high end meal. Perfectly prepared fresh high quality ingredients. I've been disappointed by other places that attempt to offer high end dining. But the Mill Restaurants are always on the top of their game.

The food and the service at J.Gilbert are always excellent. It is a reliable choice for a very pleasant evening out. My only criticism is that the decor is a bit dated; it could do with some freshening up.

We had dinner with the grandkids (ages 10 and 7) before A Christmas Carol. Nice menu options for them including salmon, which my grandson ordered and loved. Served in something resembling a bento box or cafeteria tray (only fancy), the kids’ meals were healthy - salad, apples, biscotti. Kids could not have been happier. Food arrived quickly, was fresh and hot. My daughter-in-law is a vegetarian and had the pad Thai. Enjoyed it. I had the salmon. Delicious!! Service was fantastic. Our server was very attentive. Everyone was welcoming and patient with the kiddos.
