Visited Jacobs to celebrate a special occasion and was not disappointed at all. The entire service team, from the hostesses, to the bussers, to the waiter, were professional and prompt. The staff made sure that everything was perfect from start to finish. Small touches like complimentary champagne (as it was an anniversary dinner) and chocolate-chip muffins to take home elevate Jacobs above the rest.
In terms of the food, some items exceeded expectations while others were underwhelming. Caeser salad (prepared table-side) was very good. Duck fat fries, not very good (arrived a bit soggy). Tenderloin from Guelph, ON -- pretty average, could find similar at The Keg, or a lot better at Ruth's. USDA Prime Angus ribeye was very good. Wagyu striploin from Snake River Farms was very, very good.
With a couple drinks, an appetizer, and a few steaks to share (especially kobe/wagyu), dinner for two can easily run upwards of $400-500. Expect, however, that your night will be almost perfect from start to finish. Would highly recommend for a special occasion.
