I have been to Jac's a total of 3 times. I love the location and neighborhood vibe. That said I keep hoping that I will get a 4 Star feeling from the experience.
The first two times I ate at Jac's I had the mussels. It is hard for me to turn them down. They are well prepared and presented. I had the moules frites on the side and they were OK. I prefer the mussels at Nat Split and can't seem to get them off my mind.
During my most recent visit to Jack's I had a burger and fires. The burger was tasty and cooked to perfection. It was truly medium-rare and quite tasty. My fries were not crispy, which to me is a cardinal sin. I ordered a Dark and Stormy but it was more like a Cloudy with a Chance of Drizzle. It was not very flavorful nor did it pack a punch.
For dessert I had Crème Brule. I think this is a huge misnomer. This was no egg custard. It was more like a pot de crème- a heavy chocolate pudding. Not what I wanted or expected.
Service was excellent and friendly. These folks really work hard in small space. They deserve a big thank you which means tipping generously.
I shall return and try another entrée or a sandwich. I am not done with you yet, Jack.
