Restaurants in Alsace traditionally have a formal main dining room as well as a casual dining room known locally as a weinstube or brasserie. At the brasserie, diners may enjoy traditional, hearty Alsatian dishes in a warm and relaxing atmosphere. These friendly establishments are immensely popular with Alsatians and visiting them is always the best part of my trips back to Alsace. I opened Jacques' Brasserie at L'Auberge Chez François to bring the tastes and comforts of the Alsatian brasserie to Great Falls.

    Dinner at Jacques never disappoints and we had a really delicious dinner last night. Loved the new drink options and my husband really enjoyed the new lobster appetizer which we had at New Years. Definitely a great add to the appetizer menu.

    Another fantastic meal at the Brasserie! Thoroughly enjoyed the seafood pasta and the Sunday special along with a lovely bottle of wine in a most relaxing setting. We'll certainly be back soon.

    Superb food and sitting. Highly enjoyable as always. Perfect for a celebration. We requested outdoor dining and chose to sit on one of the true outside tables, about 15-20 feet away from where most "outdoor dining" people sat, inside an enclosure next to the restaurant. Our true outdoors site was an Idyllic setting really and we really enjoyed it! Note however: for outdoor dining, most people sat in the enclosure next to the restaurant. It's fully covered/enclosed so that you might as well be eating indoors (from a public health perspective), plus the tables are close together. We chose to sit on one of the true outside tables, about 15-20 feet away, which certainly worked for us.

    Initial welcome was warm. Seating was pleasant and friendly. Waiter Freddy was attentive, thorough and respectful of our privacy. The Somm Dan was great and the wine was beautiful. Escargot delicious. Mushroom crepe an explosion of flavor. Chicken entree done with incredible touch, very moist; root vegetables on the side were perfect.

    Phenomenal - Danny is the ultimate host. Sandra is the most wonderfully attentive waitress. Jefferson is the most polite server. The entire staff is a seamless, welcoming and professional team that quietly ensures an experience unlike any other restaurant. Food here is reliably fantastic. BTW, the new enclosed patio is better than ever!

    Nothing like a steaming hot bowl of Beef Bourguignon or Bouillabaisse to take the edge off a dreary, cold, rainy winter day! Dining at Jacques' Brasserie is the perfect way to sample the outstanding cuisine of the more formal L'Augberge upstairs in a more casual, lively environment. Same great food and welcoming service. We need to visit more often!
