    Fantastic dining experience. Our dishes were delicious and cooked perfectly 👌 and I appreciated the great selection of plant-based options for the vegetarian in our family. The atmosphere was lovely and perfect for celebrating my father's birthday. Our server was so accommodating, personable and checked in on our table just the right amount. He was informative regarding menu options and genuinely cares a lot about guest experience. Thank you for helping make our special day even better!

    We were going to be in St. Jacob’s and made a reservation assuming it would busy on a Saturday evening. It was quiet in the village and Jacob’s Grill was all but empty. Sadly. Our server was pleasant and efficient, the menu selection appealing and the ambiance relaxed. My first wine selection was unavailable. My second choice had been discontinued and replaced but the server didn’t know the label. Not a big deal and the wine was fine. My spouse said her salmon entree was excellent! My Rueben was good! We would recommend Jacob’s Grill for a casual meal, especially with friends. There are options for most everyone and the relaxed setting is conducive to socializing.
