We went to this restaurant on a busy Friday night (marathon weekend) with no reservation at about 8.00 p.m. Even though the restaurant was busy we were seated more or less straight away to a really good table. From the start I could not fault this restaurant. My friend had the soup and the scallops which she could not finish... more

After a couple of recommendations by friends, my husband and I thought we would try this place during a romantic weekend getaway (10/9/09). It was a rainy Friday night and the restaurant was not full. We didn't have reservations, but despite the obvious availability, we were seated at a tiny sliver of a table against the end of a row... more

Everyone in our party had a great meal. Loved the Bookbinder's Soup! The scallops were very good and the sea bass was very tasty.

Went here for husbands birthday and reading all the reviews we were very excited. I found myself pretty disappointed especially with the steak and service. I have heard so many great things about gibson's steak and did not find the steak impressive. Have had much better. maybe I went on a bad night? more

Not a place for an intimate dinner but a fun atmosphere (if somewhat noisy…couldn’t hear the pianist). Enthusiastic and pleasant service. Excellent Crab cakes and a very good steak. Wine selection was good but a seemed a bit overgenerous on the mark-up. A very good seafood and steak place. more

My husband, father-in-law and I ate here this past weekend. My husband and I spent a few minutes at the bar before we were seated and had a great experience there. We talked with the bar tender who was very nice and my husband was happy with the beer selection. We were seated in a somewhat private booth that looked... more

Stopped in for a bite after arriving in the city and checking in to the hotel. Sat at the bar and had fish and chips which were done right. Excellent bar service, cold beer, city prices. Bartender was knowledgeable about the menu and on top of things. more

I love the food at Hugo's (same kitchen as Gibson's) and the atmosphere is great. The location is great right on rush street. They specialize in steak and fish and the food is top notch. The bar scene is pretty good late night as well. more
