Jacques

Overall the ambiance of the place is great for a celebration and date night. I was somewhat disappointed with the service; they were timely but the waitress seemed annoyed each time she came to the table. The food was flavorful. The duck was spicy, and almost so spicy I couldn't eat it. I wouldn't order it again for that reason. The French onion soup was decent, but nothing like I had expected from the reviews and $15 for a small cup of soup (not even a bowl) seems steep even for a nice restaurant. Maybe if the presentation was nicer or some bread was served with it, but not as it stands. I also wanted to order the caviar but they only do it in a spoon full, and when I asked if it came with a cracker or anything, I was told it did not. Overall 4/5 stars. I would come back for the ambiance, but not just for the food.

We went to Jacques for the first time when having friends visiting town. The evening started great! We had come from grabbing a cocktail next door so we were in great spirits. We got sat down and we had to wait a bit to be greeted which is fine. It's a busy night. However, the whole time our server made us feel unwelcomed? Like she didn't wanna help us or for us to be there. It was definitely uncomfortable. We debated about asking for a different server but as millennials we power through. As we were obviously ordering quite a bit, the server started to become nicer which is so annoying. What if we were saving up for a nice evening out? I feel like everybody deserves equal treatment. As for the food, the appetizers were amazing. The French onion soup was so tasty and the caviar bumps with the mini espresso martinis were super fun to do. The bone marrow dish was also fantastic.Our entrees were a bit of a dissappintment compared to the apps. My burger was okay but nothing amazing and our steak dish was also average.Overall, very mixed experience.

Outstanding service, exquisite menu to match the sublime ambiance. You simply have to try this charming place and indulge in a glass or bottle of their fine champagne. A total all around delight.

The ambiance of this place is so cute and modern! They open at 5 and happy hour is from 5-6 so we got there right when it opened. There were quite a few people waiting outside for them to open. We sat at the bar and got a few drinks and snacks from the happy hour menu. Everyone was super nice and helpful. We all got the French onion soup and was solid, not the best I've ever had but worth happy hour price. Overall, this is a great date night spot and will be back for full dinner.

This was my first time at Jacques and they had a limited menu but I didn't feel like I missed a thing!!! The restaurant gives a dark and moody vibe, great for a date night or a friends dinner. Our server was extremely attentive and prompt with everything we ordered. We had the escargot which was served in a puff pastry, a serving style I have not had before but was a great way to soak up all the sauce. Then we had the shared plate salad which was made with butter lettuce and not too overdressed (my usual complaint with salads). We also shared the pâté which was one of the best pâtés I have ever had. My aversion to pâté is because it normally has a strong iron flavor but Jacques serves theirs with a tart cherry compote on bottom and it is the perfect pairing to cut the normal metallic taste pâté can bring. I also appreciate the amount of bread they give you, it is more than enough for the pate. I finished my meal with the mussels. It was a generous portion and huge mussels. The sauce was perfectly brothy while still having a creamy mouth feel and again a generous portion of sourdough. No way I had room for dessert after. I am excited to go back, even if they didn't add a single thing to their menu I would be excited to go back and try some more!

Cute little unassuming spot in Lohi! My bf and I decided to try it out after seeing it walking by. We stopped in on a Sunday and they were doing all day happy hour which was awesome! We both got an aperol spritz which were great. We tried the caviar bump, burger, and the tater tots. Caviar was fresh and good, the tater tots were AMAZING! I would go back just for those. I wasn't a huge fan of the burger. The sauce was kind of sour on it and it still had pink throughout which I don't care for. The fries were very delicious too. I will say it was really hot in there. We were going to try more things on the menu but we were both uncomfortably hot. I also am not someone who needs AC blasting but it felt like it wasn't on at all! I definitely will be back to try more things on the menu though (and for those tots!)

First time here nice place, my favorite dish was the Potato Pave so amazing!!!!! The Beef tartare was seasoned very well. The roasted cauliflower had great spices and yummy sauce but I think had it been roasted more I felt like it was streamed and not roasted. The chicken apparently was good I did not have any. The burger wasn't touched because we filled up on the small bites. The service was good unfortunately that night it was busy and the restaurant was hot the restaurant ambience was nice nothing too special but nice.

I came here with two girl friends for a belated birthday dinner. We arrived during happy hour, so we were able to order two happy hour cocktails, as well as a $35 bottle of Malbec to share. The Aperol spritz was nice and refreshing, and the Malbec was good as well. We ordered nine dishes total, which was A LOT of food for three people. We had the steak tartare and French onion soup (both on the happy hour menu), the mussels, the freshly baked French bread, the panzanella salad, the steak frites, the duck confit, the salmon, and the lemon tart for dessert. Everything was delicious and cooked perfectly! The standouts for me were the fresh bread, the French onion soup, and the panzanella salad. Even with the happy hour discounts, the meal was about $100 per person, which makes sense given how much food we ordered. Our server was friendly and attentive. Overall, this is a cute French restaurant for a date night or dinner with friends.

Good but better places to eat. Went at 5pm on a Friday. Dining solo. The place was empty. Only three other people in the restaurant at the time. I asked for a small table and was told by the manager that I could have a high top or sit at the bar. I have a bad back and didn't want to sit on barstool but figured that they had a lot of reservations coming in so.... I just sat uncomfortably. I was there an hour and the place only filled up probably a dozen more people. Not even 1/4 full. Service was great. French onion soup was one of the best I ever ever had. The baguette was good but extremely overpriced at $10 for a 11" baguette. The pork tenderloin was tender but way too salty. Much more salt and I would have sent it back.

We stumbled across this place trying to get into a local distillery. Even though they were slammed they managed to have two spots against a window (bar seating height). I can't remember what drink I got but it was yummy. Tart and not too sweet. We just wanted something light so we ordered escargot and mussels. The mussels were delicious but the escargot was a little chewy, probably wouldn't order that one again. Our server was great, super attentive and helped with the drink recommendation.
