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.

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!

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!

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.

Ooh là là! Wonderful restaurant! My wife and I just celebrated our anniversary here last weekend. Very impressed! For starters, we had incredibly great service from our server, Alex. She was very knowledgeable and accommodating. And then there was the food! We split 3 appetizers: Onion Soup, Coquille St. Jacques, & Escargots. I highly recommend all 3 of these! Special shout-out on the Coquille St. Jacques. I am a scallops fan in general, but the way these were prepared takes scallops to a whole ‘nother level. For entrees we shared the Filet Mignon and the Beef Bourguignon. For both of these, easily the best I have ever had. Loved this place and we will be back. Truly a standout in the Raleigh restaurant landscape. Many thanks to Saint Jacques for providing us with a great place to celebrate our anniversary!

Prepare to be transported to a food lovers heaven. I was a little worried whether I was in for a joke walking up to this place next to a Chinese restaurant & a Harris Teeter. Trust me, once inside you are in another world. The chef brought out a delicious amuse-bouche and from the first bite I knew this place was no joke. The flavors are pronounced, vibrant, and most of all yummy. Be sure to get your fill of the rosemary bread and the honey cranberry bread. It was a 5 star meal and a luxury experience from the wait staff. I love that the chef took time to come visit every table at some point. This food is worth the trip, make a reservation and drive from wherever you are to experience the best French restaurant in the south.

Server started off by asking us about allergies. I am allergic to walnuts, so I really appreciated that. We ordered the cheese plate and it's covered in walnuts. Everything else was great though.

Went there for my birthday this evening. Great food great service. Everything was magnificent and phenomenal. I was speechless and touched about the quality of this place. It completed my 29th without any doubt. No one else will ever beat this place.
Started off from appetizer, soup, main courses till dessert and drinks for this special occasion. Very very impressed.
Ps. 10/5 stars. I loved the guy who served me today a lot. Can't even remember his name. Very very professional and kind.

We celebrated my boy friend's birthday today on May 14th. I tried the French cuisine the very first time. The food was amazing. Delicious I should say. The service was on point. Every dish made my day. I was in love with my plate, my food and the chef ❤️ Saint Jacques and the chef made our day 😘

What a gem! A small restaurant in a strip mall, but don't let the location deter you. Amazingly delicious food beautifully presented. A must try in Raleigh.

The best fine dining experience ever. Our server knew his stuff.. the wine was amazing. I really enjoyed the Coquille scallop, all of our dishes were delightful. I cant wait to go again.

We had an excellent meal here! The scallops with risotto were fantastic, and we all loved the cheesecake dessert.

The chef always personally comes to the table with a special treat, quite impressive on a date. My boyfriend is allergic to nuts & seafood, and is gluten sensitive. They are always AMAZING about his diet restrictions, and very respectful and helpful with recommendations. Can’t recommend this place enough!! Very authentic European homey feel ❤️

I had an awesome graduation dinner here! The chef is so funny and talented. We spoke over the phone so he could create a fabulous tasting menu. Every item was really unique and so good I almost cried into my food. Try the escargot, it won't disappoint. Exceptional service as well.

the food - is very good .. but can definitely work on the serving size . i mean if i am spending over $100 bucks i better have a decent dinner and not go home hungry .
the service - exemplary . my special steak was near perfect until i tasted the charred corners and asked for a second without being burnt and the maître d'hôtel was so literally sad that he could cry when i sent it back the second time when it came out chewy like a shoe sole.
the ambience - well it was gloomy as hell and quiet like a funeral . the line was in a very sad state ..begging for a change and a steam clean and press.

I selected this place to celebrate my birthday and I was not by any means dissappointed with my decision and choice. From the moment I walked through the door, the host was standing there with a warm welcome as if he was anticipating and awaiting my arrival. Though I didn't have a reservation as this was my first time, he politely said no problem and I was immediately seated. The host then offered to take our coats and handed me and my husband each a menu directly in our hands and begin to tell us about the specials for the evening. He immediately brought us out water without asking and begin to take our order. We order two appetizers, one was a hot one, and the other one was a cold one. As he went to place the order, the chef came out of nowhere and brought us a sample plate of something which was on the house and he officially welcomed and thanked us for coming. Not long after we finished our sample, our waiter came by with a basket if assorted breads and creamed salt butter and they were like light snacks and full of flavor. Within 5-6 minutes the chef came back out again and brought our appetizers and even chatted with us about the dishes. Needless to say, both appetizers were delicious. After the waiter removed our plates, about 5-6 minutes later another waiter came to our table with a little plate of sorbert and said that this given to cleanse our pallets before the main meal and it was good and refreshing. Last but not least the Chef himself brought out our main entrees and with one bite and taste, we were persuaded that St. Jaques would become our GO TO PLACE for true authentic fine dining. You don't just dine here, but they truly give you an EXPERIENCE that you will not soon forget. So of course, I was excited to order dessert and since the food is so light and doesn't have you feeling full and bloated, you actually have room to sample dessert, and once again, they demonstrated class and elegance with what I chose plus they bought me out a birthday plate with a beautiful swan puff pastry. You truly will not be disappointed with this place in no area and my bill was not bad at all for two people. Plus when you receive 5 star service like this, who cares about the price because they really give you your money's worth!! All I can say is that you will leave there saying " I AM IN LOVE"
