About J Gilbert's

There are times when food and place come together to create a truly memorable dining experience. J. Gilbert's serves prime aged, center-cut beef cooked over an open wood-fired grill. Should your tastes lean towards the wide-open space of the sea, we offer fresh seafood grilled or sauteed, like BBQ Atlantic Salmon or seared George's Bank scallops. All presented with the same warmth and hospitality of our signature hearth.

 

Menu Prices;

  1. Signature Entrees $15-$24
  2. Fresh Fish $20-$25 
  3. Steak and Lobster: $25-$40 

About The Founders Table Series

The Founders Table aims to accomplish several goals.

 

  1. We aim to provide a fun, alternative, and more intimate environment to the typical suit and tie networking mixer scene. It's about entrepreneurs who want to mix business with this little pleasure of what we refer to great DC Dining.
  2. We want to allow local area entrepreneurs enjoy great food and share stories with other entrepreneurs.
  3. We allow other entrepreneurs to co-host this event with us. Through co-hosting, the co-host can pay it forward by introducing their network of entrepreneurs to a new circle of contacts. The co-host is seen as a connector and offers a benefit to his/her network.
