Review of Gilt Bar

My husband took me here for our anniversary in Aug...

My husband took me here for our anniversary in August because I love speakeasys and they have one in the basement. He made reservations for dinner before hand and told the host how excited he was to go to the speakeasy. We weren't told until we got there that the speakeasy was closed for the night for a private event.
We were a little disapointed but still wanted to enjoy dinner. It is VERY dark inside which made reading the menus a little difficult but it was also romantic. The decor is very vintage and very cool. Our server was very nice.
I got the pan roasted white fish and my husband got the pork belly. Our food was a little cold when it got to us and neither of us were really impressed.
I have heard so many wonderful things about Gilt bar and I hope we came here to eat on an off day and we are planning to give dinner another try.

Unfortunately we did come back a few nights ago while we were in town. We had dinner reservations somewhere else but I was still hoping to check out the Library speakeasy so we stopped in for drinks. When we got there we were told that it was currently full but it shouldn't be too long before we could go in so we were seated on a couch with another couple to wait. We got a few drinks while we were waiting and wound up sitting there for almost 3 hours before we gave up and left.
