Simply the Best!
My husband and I had dinner at Gibson's Italia on Friday, September 26th to celebrate our 38th Wedding Anniversary. Let me start off by saying, this restaurant and staff are absolutely amazing! The atmosphere is beautiful and we had a great ta

This place was just awesome! Great food, service and cocktails plus we were able to dine on the terrace with spectacular views and gorgeous weather (ok they didn't control the weather)! Highly recommended
Gibsons Italia has a nice view, but the food was just okay.
I was expecting it to be fantastic, but it was mediocre. On a positive - The servers and staff were friendly and welcoming. We did tell the server that we didn't like things with added cream but he failed to mention that half of the things we or
Feeling a little hungry we wandered over to Gibson Italia.
We requested (and were granted) outside seating. A lovely day in Chicago-we enjoyed the sunny but a little chilly day. Our waiter was very attentive! Bringing our menus while greeting us with a warm welcome. We decided to enjoy several different ap
Amazing service & Amazing Food!
My friends & I came to Gibsons Italia to celebrate our friend's birthday. Upon arrival, we were greeted by a friendly host team. We were seated indoors in the 3rd-floor dining room. The view of the Chicago River was beautiful from the floor-
I called the restaurant and reached this impossible woman
I called the restaurant and reached this impossible woman who refused to provide me with an answer when asked if she could seat me in the dining room. Mind you it was early in the day. She kept on repeating the same lines over and over and over again

We feel in love with Gibsons Italia! We took a fancy elevator to arrive at the restaurant. Our entire experience felt luxurious and special from the wait staff to our meal to the gorgeous Chicago views from the patio. The Chicken Parmesan and pasta w

My husband and I have eaten at Gipson's every time we have visited Chicago. We like to think of it as a highlight of our trip. After this weekend, we will never recommend anyone to go nor will we ever go again. When you are spending a minimum of
Skip It!
Lets Begin, We made a reservation and asked for a view. First we were seated in the bar dining area at a back table, we asked for a different table. We were then seated at a table located closer to the window which overlooked empty patio tables. We w
From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed.
The atmosphere was inviting, the staff was attentive without being overbearing, and every detail, from the lighting to the background music, set the perfect tone. We only had appetizers, but they were fresh and flavorful--the oysters in particular we

I have grown up eating prime, dry-aged steak at a venerable Italian place in NJ, so I know something about steak. The $99 New York Strip I had at Gibson's Italia (Chicago) was truly the best version of the NY Strip cut I have ever tasted. Do
Amazing food except the AC was out in the restaurant and it
Amazing food except the AC was out in the restaurant and it was miserable. We asked the manager for a discount bc of this and he laughed in our face. The waitress was literally sweating while delivering our food. Beyond outrageous management. Disappo
Service was excellent.
This restaurant is beautiful. The steak was absolutely amazing. Very flavorful and I will be getting again. The spicy rigatoni was amazing, especially with the cheese. The mashed potatoes were definitely different. Caesar salad was amazing and the ti
Delicious.
Beautiful view. Probably one of the best steaks I have ever had. We had a big party (15) and the servers were kind and attentive. Would definitely go back!
Great dinner with work team
Our group of 8 had a wonderful time at Gibson’s. A perfect setting, outstanding drinks and food and great memories! Will definitely be back!
An early dinner with a great view.
We started with the valet parking, which is across the street and easy to use. We had an early reservation to accommodate a show that evening. We requested a table with a view of the river, and we got a spectacular view right at the window, of cour
Hopping place, the scene, overpriced experience
They seem to know what it takes. All the hip, cool people are here. I saw a wedding pre-party with balloons and cake, young women who were so happy to be here ( their dates didn't get it), lots of middle aged people wanting to be hip, business
A poor near miss!
They could do so much better with very little effort. Herded into an elevator then shown to a table with superb views of the back of the bar including sinks and garbage disposal was hardly a great start. My table was in nothing more than an access co
Perfetto
Beautiful view, delicious Italian food, excellent service and the best desserts, I strongly recommend this restaurant!
Best lamb chops in my life !
Absolutely fantastic experience, stunning views , phenomenal fresh seafood and lamb chops. exceptional service , can’t wait to go back and have already planned to as only visiting for a week .
Good Food but Noisy
My husband and I had dinner at Gibson’s Italia for our first meal in Chicago. The food was delicious. The arancini was fantastic and we loved the filet and brussel sprouts. The chopped salad was just ok. Service was great, but the downside was
10 out of 10
We celebrated Mother's Day with dinner on Saturday night. Great table, fantastic service, Patrick Barnes is the best.
Did not disappoint!!
Took my husband for his 60th birthday dinner on our Chicago trip. From the moment we walked in the door…we felt special. They greeted us by name and said happy birthday to him…every person we met! When I made the reservation I asked for a window
Top Notch
Top Notch in every aspect. We were a party of 15 - from steaks to fish to pasta, cocktails, service, view and ambience — perfect. Highly recommend the petite filet and salmon dishes. Tiramisu and Banana Gelato were delish - only wish they offered
Great grilled octopus and branzino! But it's loud.
Nice views of the city and the food was good—the grilled octopus appetizer was outstanding, and the branzino was cooked perfectly (Brussels sprouts sides were a little over-charred but still good). The only downside was it was a little loud.
Recommended by a friend as number 1 in downtown and he was correct
We were in Chicago for the weekend looking for a location for a high quality meal. A friend who lives in Chicago recommended this location by far and away his number 1 in the city. We walked in on a rainy Saturday afternoon for lunch with no reserv
Wonderful leisurely lunch!
We sat at the bar for a leisurely lunch yesterday. Service was great, chatted with the bartender who was lovely, informative about the food and wine and gave us great tips on other restaurants and bars. Both the food and wine were excellent. We sh

Would definitely return here👍
Most impressive on every level! Started on the second floor for cocktails, which were amazing. They have a sommelier in the lounge area ready to help, too. Once in the restaurant, food and service were incomparable. Wine list super with another
Great ambience, service, food: staggering wide-angle views.
Came here after the laughably awful Dutchman at the Lyric nearby. Welcomed successively by car valet, doorman, receptionists, and maitre d' on the sumptuous third floor. Seated at a booth in back of the room with distractingly good, wide light-show
Fantastic Experience
Great food, great service, and great views of downtown Chicago. My wife and I went here with my sister and her husband and had a booth facing the Chicago skyline. We shared the focaccia, risotto and octopus antipasti. I especially recommend the ch
Amazing dinner with a killer view.
Loved it. First father and son trip to the Windy City. The view, staff, and food were all superb. The wagyu tartare was the star of the show, but it was all delicious. We could have sat there all night admiring the veiw, and we did not feel rushed a
came here for my husband's birthday dinner.
we were both starving and quite excited at the prospect of a great meal. the restaurant seemed pretty dark. No ambient lighting, just kind of dark. no big deal. They started us off with some complementary proseco which was very nice. We ordered a few

Apparently Gibson's is an institution in Chicago and among other locales. It's definitely worth a visit. I was first impressed with the bar scene and a great selection of single malts that were surprisingly well priced. What was better was that they

Fantastic chef's special: three exceptional aged steaks served on a cutting board, including two marrow bones and baked garlic bulbs. Dessert of tiramisu and a cappuccino was a perfect end to a wonderful meal. Service was fantastic! Add to this a cit

The ambiance and the view of the place really made it stand out. I took one of my close friends/clients here and we enjoyed everything about the experience.

We had a wonderful dinner to celebrate my husband's birthday. Our server, Adam, was attentive and professional and had a great sense of humor. Steak restaurants in Chicago are a dime a dozen. Service and food quality make each unique. Gibsons Ita

We had dinner last night at Gibsons with my wife, service was great, food was good, but as soon as we arrived home, our stomach start to act weird, we end up with food poisoning, spending all night in the restroom, because i'm in restaurant industry,

In a city that boasts of a variety of fine steakhouses, Gibsons Italia does it part to stand out. Came here for Valentine's Day on the Monday and it did not disappoint. Definitely make a reservation and expect to pay downtown prices for your meal but
I had lunch at the restaurant with 2 colleagues.
All I can say is WOW! The decor was beautiful, the wait staff was attentive and professional, and the food was wonderful. I will bring my husband and sisters to the restaurant for lunch and dinner. Terrific lunch. By the way, I had the sea bass. M
I really had higher expectations.
I went here for lunch with my husband for my birthday. They did absolutely nothing for my birthday. No dessert, not even wishing me a happy birthday. The service was pretty bad. Our waiter was not friendly and couldn't answer any questions I had a
Incredible service, incredible food.
We tried almost all the appetizers, beef carpaccio and Brussels sprouts were our favorites. My filet was cooked to perfection. Worth every last penny. Highly recommend.
One of the Best Steak Houses in Chicago, can’t go wrong with beautiful views, incredible food and phenomenal service!
One of the best restaurants in Chicago! Incredible views of the river and city, outstanding service and delicious food. We feel like family when we arrive, John Pienta and Adam Solberg are usually our waiters and two of most incredible staples of GI.
Homeless camp
Restaurant is nice but in the middle of a homeless camp. We were harassed by homeless people in the way in and out...can't even walk on the sidewalk or avoid it.
Terrible service, overpriced, and ordinary food
This is an overpriced, average food, and poor customer service restaurant. Mostly for out of towners and large corporate events. I came here with a reservation and waited for 40mins before being seated. The servers were slow and sloppy. Dropped wate

Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Gibson italia Chicago at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Gibson italia Chicago page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* DistinguishedTree58, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* DistinguishedTree58 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to DistinguishedTree58 for any questions Peter may have as DistinguishedTree58 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* DistinguishedTree58 now uses their connections at Gibson italia Chicago to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If DistinguishedTree58 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, DistinguishedTree58 receives the $200 reward which is credited to DistinguishedTree58's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Gibson italia Chicago!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
