| - The food is still the best in the city, but it's dropped. The margin between Jacobs & others has narrowed significantly in the food & service departments.
We came early on a Monday, and by the end, the place was loud and bustling, and it was difficult for us to get the great service we are accustomed to. Perhaps, this is the beginning of us finding other restaurants to replace the good old favourite. With the increasing prices for its offerings, and decreasing quality, it's beginning to be hard to justify coming here.
Starters
Caesar - Not nearly as good as it used to be.
Beef tartare - Good, but not great anymore. This dish is very competitive in Toronto.
Oysters - Good, solid, meets expectations. Get Kumamotos.
Lobster chowder - A pleasant surprise. Large offering.
Steaks - My wife stated that the steak I make at home was better than the one she had that night. I was inclined to agree. However, the Snake River & Australian cuts that my father & I had were definitely superior. The other foods offered are still top notch. Perhaps, we just cut back on the meat.
Dessert - The Monkey Bread dessert was far too sweet, lacking in depth & complexity. This needs a definite adjustment. We didn't even want the leftovers.
