| - Went here with a friend to celebrate his Birthday. I wouldn't go here unless it was a special occasion. Set back two men $350 (with generous tip).
We got the 25oz t-bone steaks (each) which were a good size for some hungry males (rib eye from memory). Perhaps the ladies would prefer a smaller size steak.. they are big.
The steaks were great. Very tender, very delicious. Unique, and I've eaten a lot of steaks in my life thus far... the best? Hmm.. not sure. Was it worth it's price? No.
We also got the duck fat fries, but I wouldn't say they were anything special at all. Just a duck fat after taste on the fries. Not bad, not great.
The Caesar salads (minus bacon for us out of preference) had a very flavourful, strong, pepperly dressing. They dump a lot of pepper in the salad I think to spice it up. It tastes good. Get the Caesar salad :)
While I'm not a dessert person, I do encourage trying the deserts just because you are at Jacobs. They are very good.
We got the lemon tart, and some sort of doughey cake dripped in caramel that was really good. Very gooey, about 50% sugar I think in the dough, but divine (and i dont have a sweet tooth). This item is off the menu on their website now, and I forget the name of it, but it was worth it.
I'd recommend everything we got, except the fries, contrary to the opinion of other reviews here. Honestly, they just taste like normal fries with a richer fattier aftertaste on the fries (not so wonderful).
Go on a special occasion to Jacobs, but it's not good value for money in my opinion. Stick to the Keg or Reds or something a little cheaper for a meal almost as good :)
