| - I was weary about going here just because I tend to be more skeptical about fine dining restaurants that are overpriced. Yes, Jacobs & Co is expensive, but I loved every bite of it and would definitely go back (on a special occasion of course).
FIrst off the service was fantastic. Our waiter was genuine and funny and was extremely knowledgeable when asked about wines and steak. The staff worked together positively to provide prompt, efficient service. I was surprised by the ambience of the restaurant; it was more casual than expected, but was an environment made for great conversation.
I believe they have a corking service and would recommend that as there are limited wine selections on the menu that are under $100.
The other thing I love about the restaurant is that the menu changes daily including their specials, the steak offerings, and the sides.
Our Order:
Lobster Bisque
Caesar Salad with Spanish White Anchovy
USDA 10 oz Black Angus Wagyu
8 oz Wagyu Imported from Japan
Creme Brulee
Side of duck fat fries
Side of Roasted Fennel with Chestnut and Chorizo Sausage
Hot cheesy popovers started off our meal served with tarrogon butter, followed by our appetizers. The lobster bisque was the best I've had. Not too rich, full of lobster flavour, really velvety smooth in texture, with heavenly chunks of lobster swimming about. The caesar salad was made fresh tableside and we loved that as well - I'd highly recommend trying it with the anchovy as it was my favourite part of the dish.
Our steaks were cooked to absolute perfection, and the flavour was pretty much described to a tee by our server. My favourite of the steaks was the Wagyu from Japan. It was very heavily marbled and beautifully charred on the outside, leaving every bite of steak melting in my mouth being paired with a perfectly crispy crust.
I agree with the other reviews - the duck fat fries are to die for, and the fennel side was the best dish of fennel I've ever tasted.
They also part every patron with an individually packaged muffin, though nothing spectacular, was still a nice touch and great to enjoy for breakfast the next day.
There's something to say about the simplicity in flavours that are used at Jacobs that truly showcases the quality of ingredients that they used. Amazing dinner. Thanks Jacobs & Co and looking forward to another melt-in-my-mouth steak in the near future.
