Another perfect experience at St.Jacques. St.Jacques never fails to deliver when we are looking for the ultimate dining experience. The food was delicious, the service impeccable, and the ambiance, unparalleled. This is a special occasion destination for us, and we were pleased to be able to share it with some of our favorite people recently. St. Jacques did not let us down.

Tried this restaurant for the first time and we will definitely be returning. Food, service, and staff were all top notch. Enjoyed the French Onion Dumplings and Fried Goat Cheese & Beet salad for our starters and for our main, we had the Chicken Saltimbocca and Fruit De Mer & Linguini, both excellent. Great wine selection as well with many different varietals.
