Glastonbury's Finest

Located just west of Glastonbury’s Main Street on tree-lined Glastonbury Boulevard, J. Gilbert’s has been lauded as one of Glastonbury’s finest hidden gems.

Some consider us the best steakhouse in Glastonbury. Others simply consider us the best restaurant in Glastonbury. Enjoy our Prime wood-fired steaks and seafood – inspired by Kansas City-steakhouse fare – in a luxe, yet warm atmosphere, all served with impeccable care.
