This was a very wonderful experience. Each member of the staff that had anything to do with our reservation was extremely kind and professional. Our dinner selections were as beautiful as they were delicious. Since I wasn't clear on the "soup bowl licking policy" at Gibson's, I restrained myself, but it wasn't easy, as the King Crab Bisque was one of the best things I've ever tasted.

I visited Gibsons Italia in Chicago and loved the stunning riverfront views and modern, bright three-story dining space with retractable roof. Their steaks—especially the USDA-certified Angus New York Strip and ribeyes—were perfectly cooked, juicy, and truly the highlight, though many Italian dishes (like arancini and veal Milanese) were disappointingly bland or dry. Appetizers like the meatballs and charred octopus were flavorful and creative, but a few pasta dishes lacked seasoning or felt uninspired. Overall, the experience was enjoyable and upscale—but I’d skip most of the Italian menu and go straight for the steak if you're here to eat well.

The ambiance of the restaurant was magical and the food quite delicious. The staff were very kind, courteous, and professional and made sure that you were well cared for. Christian and Wilson stood out and made sure glasses were filled and all needs were met. I have never tasted pureed potatoes so delicious, which could have been an entree by itself! All of the food was delicious with excellent service to match!
