"The tragedy of this lovely bistro is that after 7PM the noise level is overwhelming. Two in our party of 4, an older man and a middle-aged woman wanted to bolt before the end of dinner--they didn't, but wished to--because of the noise."

"This is one of our favorite neighborhood options. Our last experience was uncharacteristically bad - very poor service and lacklaster food. I hope it was just an off night and not a sign of decline."

"The ONLY knock on Jacques Brasserie but it is a big one, was their failure to follow thru on the arranged Birthday cupcake and candle for my soon to be wife! I made arrangements with the bar tender and waiter when I arrived for them to bring out either a cupcake or dessert with candle (if we ordered a dessert). They agreed and seemed very happy that I chose their restaurant to share this occasion. But they never brought it and I waited a painfully long time for the check thinking it was taking so long since they were bringing the birthday surprise. Very frustrating and annoying ESPECIALLY AFTER THEY ASSURED ME THEY WOULD DO IT."

"Good neighborhood brasserie with no frills and good food. The onion soup is delicious and the onion tart is pretty good, not great. The fish and chips is good and so is the salad Nicoise. The food is pretty solid and the service is so-so. The ambience is sort of drab and the lighting is bad, leaves something to be desired. Overall I recommend this restaurant for good french fare at reasonable prices and good for groups."

"Terrific all the way around. We had a table by the window and had no problem hearing ourselves converse. The food is always a winner. The hard part is deciding what sauce to take with the mussels. And the fries come hot, moist and with just the right amount of salt. We had three wait staff working with us. Fast, efficient, non-obtrusive. White tablecloths, room between tables. Perfect."
