| - I have been to a few other steakhouses in Dallas, Texas and in Montreal, Quebec, and by comparison, Jacobs is by far the absolute best steakhouse in terms of bang for your buck.
The quality of the appetizers are incredible, and portion size is enough to feed two with ease (or one intensely hungry individual ;)). We ordered the Caesar salad and poutine. The Caesar salad feeds 2!! We politely asked if we could get pictures and a video of the salad being made (since it is made tableside), and we were shyly granted our wishes, which was nice. :). They also custom make the salad in the sense that if you have any allergies or don't like certain ingredients, they will make sure that the salad, even if shared, respects individual preferences for use of ingredients.
The poutine was excellent also - not too salty from the gravy, but a nice kick to it.
The one thing that I definitely noticed with Jacobs is that once you start getting food, more just keeps coming. You're never sitting there with nothing to eat on the table. Often times we kept getting more dishes before we were finished.
From beginning to end - being seated to eating, payment of the bill, and exit of the restauarant, it took us just over an hour (maybe closer to an hour and a half - I'm sometimes a slow eater :( ) on a busy night, which covered 2 salads, bread, 2 steaks, poutine, a cocktail for my boyfriend and a birthday chocolate treat (see images). The price was very reasonable for quality and portion, so I was pleasantly surprised.
This restaurant is definitely as great, if not better, than all that the reviews say it is. It's great for business meetings and intimate dinners for couples or small groups. I would definitely go back.
