Description: Gibsons Bar and Steakhouse website states:Gibsons Steakhouse has been the pinnacle of Gold Coast dining for nearly 2 decades. Housed in the space made famous by Mr. Kelley’s, where Streisand and Sinatra performed, and later occupied by 70’s and 80’s hot spot Sweetwater, Gibsons continues the star studded tradition with a nightly procession of the famous and powerful. You can trace our history pictorially throughout the restaurant where autographed photographs of athletes, politicians, movie stars, rock stars, entertainers of all kinds, and of course the diehard Gibsons “locals” appear.

The locals are the heart and soul of Gibsons, some of them enjoying the food, service, and party atmosphere 3 – 4 times a week. They are family, recognized and pampered from everyone in the establishment, beginning with owners Steve Lombardo and Hugo Ralli and continuing through the restaurant staff, many of whom have worked for Gibsons since its inception. How do you become a local? Usually your second trip is enough for the staff to remember you and bring you into the family.

"Consistently Great"

December 16, 2010


  • Food: Traditional Steakhouse fare with unique additions
  • Decor: More traditional, casual, friendly
  • Service: always amazing, a true team effort that works.
  • Cost: $$$$
  • Wine / Cocktails: Decent winelist, many you've heard of.

Overview:

I am a regular lunch patron to Gibson, usually on a weekly basis. The management of this place is stellar, rarely do they miss a beat, yet are never too attentive.

For lunch I am a big fan of the filet sliders, the bookbinders soup, the burger and the chicken, which I have them whip up for me blackened! I do miss the summer when we can sit outside and enjoy the view, but the sun room is the next best option in these winter months. People are generally surprised how reasonably priced lunch can be here!

Dinner is always a treat, with some of the best steak in the city. Portions are large, and easily shareable! Let's not even get started on the desserts big enough for an entire table!

Recommended Dishes:

Filet Sliders, bookbinders soup, burger, chicken, shrimp cocktail, spicy lobster cobb, double baked potato, new york sirloin.
