   the salmon starter was good. the steak was crap; overcooked, poor quality meat (not dry aged or special), the bone-in was a cheap cut (for £33 give me an excellent rib eye or a filet) and it was soaked in crappy butter; the cheesecake was no better than marks and spencer and the rhubarb was inedible; the service was slow (considering i was a solo diner); the music was stuck on the same awful song for an hour. £75 without alcohol is poor value.

   Excellent food and good service but prices have increased too steeply beyond inflation.

   It is always a pleasure to dine at Gilbey's. Food, as always, excellent. The house wine is always of a high standard and service attentive without being intrusive.

    Gilbey’s menu seems to have changed since the last time we dined there. Always good quality, on this visit it seemed a bit more modern. Prices are up but that’s true of everywhere since covid.

    We dined at Gilbey's for my wife's birthday and had a very pleasant experience. We had a nice table with a window and enjoyed two courses with wines. As it was a birthday, although we didn't have a desert, a nice scoop of ice-cream was brought with a candle in it, which was a nice touch. The dishes were well designed, cooked and presented and service was very pleasant and attentive. The only tiny downside is that the tables are quite closely packed so that you have to squeeze close to other diners to get around. Fortunately, we're not too large but we can imagine bigger people having problems! Altogether a good experience which we shall repeat.

    We visited on Sunday, there was a two or three course set menu. The roast pork was delicious, cooked well, plentiful. My daughter had fish and chips which was also quite good, The vegetarian option was sadly a huge let down, so much so that my friend sent it back. Only one main meal option was vegetarian, a small tart with over cooked vegetables, undercooked pastry and two huge dollops of crème fraiche on the top totally unnecessary other than to make the plate look full. If you only have one vegetarian option-which is poor anyway- it should be as good and as plentiful as the meat option. It wasn’t.

    Haven't been to Gilbey's for a while, but glad we decided to re-visit. The Sunday lunch menu was great. Huge portion of roast beef and trimmings - couldn't finish it all as had to make way for dessert too! Will definitely return.

    Another lovely meal at Gilbeys with delicious food, good wine and great service. We were able to choose our dinner from the a la carte and the lunchtime menu (although all at individual prices - not set lunch prices) and everyone was happy with their choices. Very attractive, cosy surroundings (love the art) . Picky eaters may like to look up the menu online as there is not a huge choice of dish but even the stranger combinations really work and are absolutely delicious! Will definitely come again.

    Our first return visit since late 2019. Still lovely but the menu looks and feels less special - in terms of the choices on offer and the presentation of the menu card (more good pub grub than restaurant). The food was delicious and service was very good. It just wasn’t the dining experience it used to be. We’ll go again, but with different expectations.

    We had a very enjoyable meal in pleasant surroundings. Food was very good but my choice of starter was not available. I expected a wider choice of menu. The wine was good as was the service.

    Prompt service, good food priced appropriate to quality. Went for a birthday and without telling the staff, they picked up on it and bought out a birthday 'dessert' with candle. Nice touch. Thanks

    Compared to other roast dinners I have had I felt this did not warrant a charge of £27 ( it was 2 courses and broken down into £8.50 for soup and £19 for the roast)I have had far tastier for far less.. I was unable to have the starters on menu due to gluten and egg intolerance so they did make me a pleasant feta cheese starter. Disappointed though that I couldnt enjoy the roast potatoes either as they too were coated in flour. I was not informed of this when I called ahead to see what I could eat on the day. I was however given a few more carrots on my plate to make up for it!! The restaurant is very nicely decorated and the staff were pleasant but I am sorry I expected far more flavour for my money

    Wonderful welcome. Made to feel at home! Excellent service. Enjoyed the starter (pollock/prawn fish cake) but preferred the starter that my wife had (chicken liver parfait - delicious). The main course (duck) was superb, particularly the celeriac, but I felt a little let down by the dessert (burnt Basque cheesecake) - I had raised my expectations to the level of the main course. Perhaps the cheesecake was too cold! That aside, I would return again and try other dishes from the menu.

    Don't go to the this restaurant if you eat a plant based diet. There are no options for Vegan on the menu at all, i.e no starters, no main course, and only Sorbet as a pudding the Chef (who can only concentrate on one thing - meat, according to our waitress), did rustle up a decent gnocchi dish, but it was a one off. we were told there is no much demand for plant based in Amersham, so they don't bother!. BTW, the white wine was served at room temperature. Recommendation, avoid if you care about animals, your health or the environment.

    Gilbys exceeded our expectations. All of our special requests were met, from a quiet table, to the excellent service (they didnt rush us and were very patient), the food was delicious too! Additionally, the Gilbys champagne & red wine choice was excellent. A thoroughly enjoyable Saturday lunch!
