Returned to Jacobs with two colleagues on a Saturday night for dinner. Service was impeccable and food was fantastic, as expected. Upon arrival, I was immediately greeted with a "Welcome back to Jacobs" by our server. He was very attentive and took the time to explain the menu and wine choices. Jacobs has an extensive winelist and we had chosen a recommended Barolo. Despite the large markup on wine, which is to be expected, we thoroughly enjoyed our bottle.
We started our evening with the complimentary delicious popovers and also ordered the infamous Jacobs Caesar Salad prepared table side. Although I had ordered it on my last visit, it remained a nice treat to see the salad prepared. We had also agreed to share a side of sauteed mushrooms. (On my last visit I had ordered the duck fat fries and the Caesar salad). The mushrooms were delicious (and my preference over the fries which were not extraordinary). Now for the steaks... We decided to share three different ribeye steaks between all of us: Canadian Guelph Ribeye, Canadian P.E.I. Ribeye, and the USDA Prime Black Angus Ribeye from Nebraska, in that order. The steaks were served sliced and timed appropriately so that the steaks were served one after the other. Just amazing.
Although I would have loved to try a new dessert here, all three of us passed on dessert this time as we were content and full. We were given three complimentary chocolates and fresh Jacobs muffins for breakfast the next day. Our journey of delicious food and three different steaks made for a glorious evening. Of course, I will return...
