We have been here before and the food and service were excellent then. Thus time the WORST food ever! I ordered a meal that I have life threatening allergies . The steak was RAW. Take it back and 45 minutes later it was burned and...not edible !! Manager oh we will take a 15.00 glass of wine off!! So we had to pay 66.00 for a steak meal NOT EATEN!!! Worst service and manager was SO rude! I asked about refunding my meal since I didn’t eat manager no I will refund 50% umm I never ate!!! Save your time and $$ head to the KEG better service and food!!!!!!!!More

We have been here a few times, all good. This visit our party had striploin steaks, salmon, and chicken Kievs. The steaks were all tasty and cooked correctly (steaks at many Canadian restaurants are often overcooked). Everyone left stuffed and entirely satisfied.

We have been to this place many times before, when visiting Montreal. The experience is always very good. Our server, Rainer, was excellent and very attentive. The food was exceptional. We started out with oysters rockafeller, which you dont often see on menus anymore. They...were delicious. You always get bread and pickles before your meal. The pickles are so crunchy, but I didnt want to get too stuffed before the main course arrived. I had a lobster platter with 3 large lobster tails on it as well as a potato and vegetables, which were cooked perfectly. We shared a piece of strawberry cheesecake at the end and we had Spanish coffee prepared right in front of us at the table. The night was very special for us as we were celebrating my husband's birthday. I highly recommend this place!More

Went to Gibby's on US Thanksgiving. Valet parking! Most places in Montreal in the Old Port in particular are iffy to find parking. Greeted and sat immediately. Our waitress was Caroline, outgoing, friendly and so helpful. Gibby's is a top of the line steakhouse. What...makes it so much more is value added. Most high end chop houses are all A la carte. At Gibby's you get a starter a potato as well as a vegetable!! Is the price high? Not really for all you get it is trully a bargain. The first thing you get is a loaf of hot bread and a dish of their homemade pickles. My wife started with a wedge salad, I had a bowl of Gazpacho. Both were cold and so good. Next Marion got the boneless Rib steak, I had the Beef Wellington. Each came with a baked potato as well as asparagus. Marion's steak was perfectly cooked and came with the restaurants version of Montreal Steak spice. My wellington was an 8 oz filet wrapped in duxellles and a delicious crust. The Wellington came with a perfect Bordelaise sauce. Both meals were delicious, tender, and an excellent portion size. For dessert we split an amazing dark chocolate mousse. Marion had a latte, but I opted for the Cafe Bresilian. This is Brandy, Tia Maria, Flambeed into a wine glass with a sugar rim, add coffee, fresh whipped cream, then ladled on flaming Gran Marnier. Caroline put on an amazing show and gave me a delicious end to a great meal. Do not look at the price and say too much. The food is great, the service amazing, and the value is excellent.More

This was a business dinner foo pop r 10 persons. I am told that a visit to Gibby’s steak and oyster is very much part of theMontreal visit experience and I can see why The service was outstanding from the moment we arrived We had...some oysters to start - fresh oyster and then a “Rockefeller oyster .. great thing to do The house salad was brilliant and the steaks were great - perhaps ever so slightly too well cooked for a medium rare but gorgeous never-the-less Too full for dessert but great choices Thoroughly repeat the recommendation we were given. If in Montreal I strongly recommend Gibbys in the heart of Old MontrealMore

Gibby’s is a long-standing restaurant in Montreal. We easily got a reservation (done online) and we’re seated right when we arrived. The menu is mostly steak and the steak sizes tend to be bigger. My 8 oz filet looked more like a 12 oz! Portions...of everything were very big, including side dishes and desserts. The service was very good - very professional staff. The ambiance is very traditional Old Montreal. Highly recommendMore

We have to say this place is one of the best places we have been to. It's just consistent, a great vibe, a great location of old Montreal. The food is outstanding. The service is very, very good. They know exactly when to come up...to you and see how you're doing and when to give you the space. You never have to wait for anything. They're funny. They've got big smiles on their face. We had our reservation. We were seated right away. The wine list is great. The menu is very diverse and everything looks tasty. And, of course, once you get it, it is. The prices are actually reasonable for what this place could be. It seems like the physical structure it's in is hundreds of years old, with all stone inside, several fire places, so it's super cozy. We went there on a Wednesday night, and it was very, very busy. Our waiter, Yvon, was excellent. We will definitely come back. This will be a staple for us every time we go to Montreal.More

Excellent food and drinks. Dining room was very attractive and food came out quickly and hot. Our server Cynthia was probably the best server I’ve come across in my 50+ years of dining out. Very professional, knowledgeable and super friendly. Can’t wait to go back...next time I’m in town.More

A memorable evening with friends in the most positive sense. Loved the setting, with exposed aged brick walls and beamed ceiling. Noise was reasonably dampened. But, as should be with a restaurant, the food and the service were the stars, and they were superb. Our...server, Vatchi, recommended a fantastic wine for our meal, was attentive but not intrusive, and he was willing to answer our questions and chat with us. We witnessed him perform an elaborate and impressive ritual preparing a Brazilian coffee.More

After walking out of Vieux- Montreal Steakhouse due to the unfriendly attitude and demeanor of the hostess we continued on and found Gibbys Steakhouse.Our experience was extraordinary! Greeted by upbeat smiling happy hostesses, seated immediately with our server Robin attentive although the restaurant was very...busy.

I don't believe so but I recommend calling them directly and asking before your visit. For reference they had a great wine and cocktail list.

Gibby's has no children's menu. Few times have I seen children there. If your child can eat meat, seafood, it should be okay. Nonetheless, am sure they can put something special. Or, just call Gibby's to be sure. You will... More
