| Here's Gilbert's. It's a nice, expensive little place in old Bellevue on Main. My aunt and uncle (hey, we're got to get together soon!) live close by. They serve bagels and sandwiches and have live jazz on the weekends. |
 |
| It was a very nice, sunny, early Spring day. I ordered from the line inside but then sat in the great outdoors with my shades on. It was glorious. |
 |
| My seat outside. Very nice. Sunny. Water with orange slices = bonus!! I took the menu outside to study it and took lots of pictures of it but I won't bore you with it. Overall, you should go to Gilbert's if you can stomach (no pun) the high prices. |
 |
| Alright! Here's my meal served. You can see the the jus is actually French Onion soup. And I got a side salad with spinach, a fine cheddar, pears, and almonds! The bread looks very good and fresh-baked. |

| Close-up of my salad, which was really great and fresh. And a bird's-eye view of the jus. |
 |
| Here's the toasted bread and another close-up of the jus. It's really good looking. I added Swiss cheese to my sandwich for free. It doesn't come by default but I do like Swiss on it: especially if it's free!!! The jus is delicious and presently making my mouth water! |
 |
| There's the sandwich (fancy toothpick) and pickle. I only got a half of a sandwich and it was more than enough with the salad. It was $14.99, so pricey!!! |
 |
| The sandwich has caramelized onions on it (which was a surprise) but they were good. The final bite is taken by loading up a bunch of really great-tasting French onion soup onions on their really good bread! |
 |
| The good pickle is ridiculously big. (Note size in comparison to fork.) |
Other notes:
The price was high but worth it. It's quality food!
I only got a half and that was enough.
They have a lot of really good looking soups on their menu:
It was a slow, sunny Friday for lunch. And it wasn't very crowded but the service was pretty slow. The food was really good.
Orange slices in water gets bonus points!
They have a very broad, fresh-looking menu
Their sandwiches (I saw several others delivered while I was waiting for mine) are really great looking!
The French dip sandwich, sans jus, was very juicy and delicious with medium rare roast beef and perfect bread.
The sandwich is an easy 5 of 0 to 5.
The jus was thickish and almost even gravy-like but tangy and great.
The spinach side salad was a 4: fresh, simple. Good cheese almonds, pears.
