St. Jack

Great look. Cool music, good service. The escargot was absolutely delicious. Came with large baguette to get all of the butter sauce. It truly was delicious. I ordered the chicken with a dill pickle sauce and I have to say it did not work. Very sharp and tangy and did not go with chicken not a fit for my pallet at all and I don’t think for many. I would advise a different sauce for the chicken. So I paid $45 for a hen that I ate a quarter of and that’s always a bummer but overall a nice experience.

The food was extremely delicious, especially the mussels. We sat on the bar side by a big open window. The outdoor seating looked cool and I’d probably try to get a patio table next time. I would say the service was okay - not amazing, but not bad. They seemed really busy and the food took a long time.

St. Jack is the second French restaurant we experienced, and honestly after dining at the very wonderful Le Pigeon I didn’t think I could be impressed, and I was wrong! Our dining experience at St. Jack was excellent, the food was delicious and so beautifully presented, the cocktails we had were refreshing (the weather that night was in the triple digits and we needed something to cool down) and crafted to perfection. We had the foie grass, the tuna crudo, the pateé, the special of the day, and of course we had to try the caviar, after all we were spoiling ourselves! Everything was remarkable, including the service, our waiter was knowledgeable and eager to answer our questions about the menu. I can’t wait to go back and take our friends!

I've now been here twice (once pre-Pandy and just went recently) and not much has changed, which was nice considering so many restaurants have since the Pandy. Prices were fair and service was good. Jasmine was our server and was very nice. I don't have anything amazing or bad to say. It gets pretty busy though so make a reservation.
