BarFly's Review of Gilt Club

Intimate, retro-inspired supper club swanks it up with a curvy bar lit by delicate, chrysanthemum-like drops, and cushy, red leather booths in the dining area. Seasonal cocktail and dinner menus. Great service, spendy prices. Open 5pm-2am M-Sat. $2-5 menu, $5 select cocktails and wine, $2.50 select import 5-6pm M-Sat.

Reader Reviews of Gilt Club
Iconic bar..

...where you are made to feel welcome.

Too many bartenders in this town don't really go out of their way to make a conversation with you. They exalt mixology and working quickly at the sacrifice of building a relationship with customers ("clients" is a better choice than "customers", which is more about a transaction, versus the connotation of care and consideration with the former).

After living here for the better part of the last 17 years, the Gilt Club has one of my favorite bar scenes. They care about people and I feel good about spending my money there. In short, I feel appreciated for showing up and look forward to going back.

You say Tomato

This place is a great restaurant. Excellent food, killer drinks and genuine service. Seriously, after 3 visits they knew my name. Maybe I'm just more friendly or maybe I don’t have a "ebola" vibe. In any case It great to have a really nice place in the hood. BTW I live in Everett Station Lofts.

Eh, not really worth it

The food really is good, no sarcasm there. The chef knows his stuff (and charges accordingly). The place is so FAKE though. They are trying way too hard to be fancy, and failing miserably. The art crowd that shares the block with this place refuses to go in (that should tell you a lot), and the snooty rich customers they were counting on when they built this place never really showed up. If you are down to earth, they stare at you like you have ebola, and if you are snooty you won't go there. And I still can't figure out the frickin' massive television in a place that is trying to act classy.

The atmosphere is a cross between sheer desperation at a failing business, fake snobbery (the only kind worse that REAL snobbery) and the squeaking of the three posers that make up 75% of the customer base trying hard to pretend they don't see each other. And they don't see you, either, unless you see them first.

Go there for the food. Really. The drinks are great too. But bring your own atmosphere.

Food

The food is always good at this supper club I have ordered several items on the menu and have not been dissapointed, except for the chocolate cake was a little dry and the flavor was lacking.I recommend this place highly.

  4. Where you 86ed for being a complete douchebag? Are you the perpetually unsatisfied bitch? The bartender's psycho ex? Are you copy & pasting the same review from/to Yelp, Citysearch, etc? Then you undermine the value of user reviews. Don't waste your time posting.
