Gibbys - (Near Montréal, QC)

5 /5 HJ Marshall: We celebrated Christmas Eve at Gibbys, and it was absolutely wonderful. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt festive, cozy, and timeless—perfect for a special holiday dinner. The food was outstanding. The Beef Wellington was beautifully cooked and rich in flavor, the lobster was fresh and perfectly prepared, and the ribeye was tender and full of depth. Every dish felt like it was made with care and respect for classic steakhouse tradition. Service was attentive without being intrusive, which made the evening feel relaxed and celebratory. It was one of those meals where time slows down and you’re fully present with the people you’re dining with. An unforgettable Christmas Eve dinner. We’ll definitely be back for future celebrations.

5 /5 LC: We’ve tried their lunch and as always their meat is just so good. They even give you a sorbet after the appetizer to clean your palate. The only thing I didn’t like is the dessert which is a pecan pie and it’s just too sweet. Try the boeuf a Diane, it’s so good. They have valet parking so it’s a big plus considering how busy it is in the summer or when weather is good.

5 /5 Alex Romano: Our server, Catherine, provided us with a wonderful experience! She was so much fun and had so much enthusiasm and knowledge. She clearly cares about what she does and I hope management recognizes how hard working and skilled she is! Everything we ate was delicious. We enjoyed the beef tartar appetizer and beef Wellington for dinner. The meal was perfectly paced. The dessert drink, named the Brazil, was so much fun and delicious. They flambé the drink at the table, giving you a great show. Thank you, Gibby’s, for the amazing memories!

4 /5 Soban A: We went as a group of 5 with a reservation on a very busy holiday night. The place was packed, and we ended up waiting about 15 minutes in the waiting area. At first, things felt a bit unorganized, and communication with the hosts (a few younger staff members) was a little challenging. For a place with this reputation and level of service, it would’ve been nice to be offered a quick welcome drink while waiting to be seated. That said, once we were seated, everything completely changed. Our server, Kas, delivered outstanding service and truly went above and beyond to make sure everyone at our table was happy and comfortable. He was extremely knowledgeable, explained the menu well, and made great recommendations. Staff like Kas really deserve recognition—he was professional, attentive, and always there when we needed something. The food was excellent. We ordered the Cowboy steak—we asked for medium, and it came out slightly on the rare side, but honestly, it tasted amazing. Perfectly seasoned, very juicy, and with great texture. The bone portion could’ve been served in a way that made it a bit easier to eat, but that’s a minor thing. The salads and sides were also great. I’d recommend the Gibby’s salad over the blue cheese salad. For mains, the Monte Carlo is a great choice and pairs perfectly with the classic steakhouse vibe. Surprisingly, the seafood was also very good. We tried the crab, shrimp, mussels, and octopus, all served beautifully in a seafood tower with a variety of sauces. Portions are very generous, so I’d suggest skipping large appetizers since the mains already come with sides. For drinks, I went with Kas’s recommendation, the Guava Mule, and it was amazing. I’m usually not a big fan of cocktails or mocktails, but I really enjoyed this one. The only downside was cleanliness. For a place like this, both the plates and the washrooms should be better maintained. One of our plates had a food stain, which Kas replaced immediately without hesitation. The washroom, though, was not in great shape—there was an unpleasant smell and paper towels scattered around the garbage bin. I understand the building is older, and I wasn’t expecting anything fancy, but it definitely could’ve been cleaner. Overall, the prices are reasonable considering the quality and generous portions. Despite a few small issues, it was a great experience, and I’d absolutely recommend this place and would go back again.
