Saint Jacques: what do users think?
Ritu Prasad: Would like to preface this review by saying we've been longtime fans of Saint Jacques, back to when Lil was here years ago. It's been our go-to celebration spot for birthdays, graduations, etc. My family recently moved back to the area and we were excited to return. The restaurant now is certainly different from the original Saint Jacques we remember.First, though: Our waitress was great, very kind and helpful and made our experience more enjoyable.The ambiance and overall quality, however, has declined. The food was fine, but lacked the real French taste and finesse of before, and seemed much more Americanized in taste and portion. It wasn't awful, but it was not the same quality as before. The dessert was good, though.We also noticed the floors and bathrooms were not very clean, and the atmosphere is different and not as formal -- patrons in shorts, sneakers and sweatshirts would not have been the case in the past.All in all, we felt it lacked the European refinement and service we had loved before. It's fine if you approach it as a more casual American-French dining option, but as we were hoping for and expecting Saint Jacques to still be a more authentic French restaurant and a fine dining place to celebrate, we're not inclined to return.Vegetarian options: Only one option.

Stephanie Rockwell: Very pleased with this restaurant. It was our first time dining and the staff was very friendly. It has a refined but comfortable atmosphere. The food was delicious, especially the lobster bisque, which was a special they were serving and I could have eaten several bowls, and the creme brulee.Food: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5 …More
Carl Estrade: It was our first experience at St Jacques.The food is good. Service is good... even if two of our plates finished on the floor. But no body from the management approached us to say sorry for the wait! Even when we left. Not sure if we will return there.Food: 4/5|Service: 4/5|Atmosphere: 1/5 …More
Victoria Voight: I have eaten here several times. I have always loved the food but this time I was a bit disappointed. We had two specials, mussels and bouillabaisse. The stew had too much Sage. The mussels were plump but the sauce had very little flavor.Food: 4/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5 …More

Ananya VanSula: Good French restaurant. Quiet. Perfect for date night. We had the scallops and crab cake, escargot, and lamb. We had two red wines: Domaine Paul Buisse and the Cosme, really good.Food: 4/5|Service: 4/5|Atmosphere: 4/5Recommended dishes Escargot, Coquille Saint-Jacques, Crème Brûlée …More
Richard Massong: I have waited several weeks to write a review since the dinners were rather appalling. My wife's escargot was over-cooked and my lobster bisque was very salty. As for the main course, my rack of lamb was ordered medium rare, and came out well done.A friend of ours ordered the same doneness and his was well done as well. The side that came with the lamb was also much too salty. And I like salt. We let the waiter know it was my wife's birthday and she ordered dessert. It came out with Happy Anniversary on the dish. Total lack of control over quality and the little details. Will not be back!!
Lindsay Mohr: Probably our favorite French place by far in the triangle. No mass produced food here. Every dish is clearly made fresh with care. I've never not had a top tier dish here. Everything is always perfectly cooked and gorgeously plated and the service is impeccable.My lamb was fantastic. The red wine reduction paired perfectly with it and very rich. My risotto was great and even the carrots and green beans were perfectly cooked with exactly the right amount of seasoning.The charcuterie plate was the most generous and varied I've had of any of the restaurants I've tried.
Brittany Clark: Update: removed a star for declining service. Food portions have gone up, quality down, and I can't stand the host. Went there to celebrate my 30th and he joked I was 26 then scolded me for not going with it? I'm not even old enough for that bs and I don't find it charming. Also the host is like 50 so why would he even care if I'm over 30? Men are so gross.We came here to celebrate our engagement and the staff was absolutely wonderful, they were very helpful about wine and food choices, and they were the perfect blend of professional and personable. The food was incredible. I would absolutely recommend this place for special occasions or just to treat yourself!
Daniel Strong: Great atmosphere and restaurant!! Reminds me a lot of Nice, France 🇫🇷. Highly recommend this place :)Food: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5Recommended dishes Duck Magret …More
Beth Kekes: Food was amazing, atmosphere was calming and inviting. I was pleasantly surprised coming to this place in a middle of a shopping center, but I was very impressed. The decor was quaint but intimate. The menu was very simple but elegant. I would recommend this to any person looking outside of the normal cuisine looking for a tantalizing tickle to the palate.
Pierre: Stopped by on a Wednesday night, not so crowded but we were told they were short on menus so we had to share one. Service was not attentive, and I had to keep looking for our waiter. Our water was only refilled once through our meal. I ordered the Foie Gras et Cerise Noire which was disappointing because the bread was ROCK hard, but not as underwhelming as the Carré d’Agneau d’Automne which wasn’t even cooked to the temperature I wanted, so I switched entrees with my partner. This was a very disappointing French dining experience, especially because we were celebrating a birthday. To top things off, Madi charged us for 2 desserts when we only ordered one. Attention to detail doesn’t seem to exist here.
Rick Long: The food and service was excellent! My only issue was that we were seated by a closed door, had there was cold winter air pouring in all around the door. It was so cold that I had to go get a jacket (and I don't get cold easy). For this meal price, I expect everything to be perfect.Food: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 3/5Recommended dishes Coquille Saint-Jacques, Crème Brûlée, Duck Magret …More
Elizabeth Cass: Wrote a review on open table but forgot about Google! So writing a very late review from April 2022 but had to write this review to tell you if you want good french food and wonderful service go here! My husband said it was the best french onion soup he has ever had! Escargot was delicious and authentic. We were celebrating our wedding anniversary and felt very special- service was incredible! Merci to St Jacques!
Chef Chrissie Lapidow: Wow. Just WOW!!! From the moment we walked in and was greeted by Maddie’s smile, we knew we were in for a treat! Everything we ordered was exceptional - from the Chef Board and Onion Soup, to our dinners of beef tenderloin and rack of lamb, it was AMAZING. Not the experience we were expecting from a strip mall restaurant, but thoroughly impressed. Fantastic service from Maddie as well. Highly recommend!
