“It is my daughter’s 16th birthday today and we made a reservation at their sister restaurant Bristol’s awhile back. It’s her favorite place to go because of the fried cauliflower. We got a call today and they had a fire so they couldn’t open but graciously made us a reservation at j Gilbert’s. My son got sick so I had to stay home but they called me and said they made her the fried cauliflower that she loves at Bristol’s tonight at j Gilbert’s!! My family said everyone is being so nice and definitely made my daughters night!! Thank you so much for all you did to make her 16th so special!! You guys are amazing!! I can’t thank you enough!!!“

“The place was amazing. Great food and wonderful service provided by Tom. It had ambiance, something missing in many places. This had the charm and finesse that is often missed in the new LOUD places. This place was packed but still quiet and the perfect setting for a romantic dinner. Not cheap but well worth the money.“

“Seems to be a bias restaurant based on demographic according to the manager.“

“Our service was second to none!!! Samatha, Savannah Jolie and Tim!! Food was incredible. The whole atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Our family loved the entire evening. Thank you!“

“This is tough because our experience at this steakhouse should have been five stars. Our server was great -- energetic, personable, and enthusiastic. He and the other waiters wore red coats, adding to the strong steakhouse vibe. But... then came the shrimp cocktail. They might as well have been shrimp from a dollar store. There were four wet, slightly mushy, unimpressively sized shrimp. This was so sad, because the presentation was great -- a chilled metal vessel, a good amount of delicious cocktail sauce... the whole thing. But the shrimp. I mean, they could have served four super jumbo shrimp, still made a good profit, and made an extremely simple dish a star item. My advice? Go to a few big city steakhouses and see how they do their shrimp cocktails. Okay, now for a few positives: The steak was cooked perfectly and had a good char. Was it the most flavorful steak we've ever had? No. However, it was very solid. The creamed spinach was complex and had great flavor... but it was a somewhat small portion. The potatoes were good, but it was simply a scoop on a room temperature plate. They could do so much better serving it in a hot vessel with a little melted butter -- or garlic butter. Oh, and the bread. -- I think it was yesterday's. I'm sorry to say that, because it was was served warm... but it didn't seem like it was baked that day. There were other little things, like my napkin being taken when two place settings were cleared from our four-top, and also ending up with numerous utensils after our salad course due to what seemed to be just a notch less attention to that particular detail. So, all-in-all it was a solid meal, but it seems like there are other options in STL where you could get a stronger experience for the same money. However, with that said, Kreis' doesn't have to put in much additional effort to bring itself up to a five star level. You can do it, Kreis'!“

“Food was done well and quickly. Nathan, our server, was friendly and efficient. Great experience.“

“Excellent service, I had the Charcoal House Special, rare, with the mushroom sauce and blue cheese over the steak so it melted. If you're getting an expensive steak, get a fine wine to compliment it. I got the Jordan Cabernet, over $100 for the bottle but well worth it. (filet mignon)“
