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.

We were 5 adults, a 4 year old and a baby. Restaurant staff were very accommodating and did everything possible to make the dinner a pleasant experience. Food was excellent. My only criticism is that it would have been nice if they offered some less expensive options for children.

The weather was brilliant so we sat outside on the lawn. As a celiac I appreciate the number of GF options so clearly identified. I had the duxelle stuffed crepe (traditional buckwheat flour) and "Papas Bouliabaise". Of course Grand Marnier souffle for dessert. Still smiling!

The patio and outdoor dining area is the place to be this time of year. The grounds are gorgeous. My favorite appetizer is back on the menu. Fresh asparagus with ham and melted Gruyere cheese. A simple yet elegant dish expertly prepared. The salmon was executed perfectly to my rare request with vegetables and beurre blanc sauce. Sandra provides wonderfully attentive service. Danny always finds the perfect wines to complement each course. Always a great dining experience.

This is a lovely and uniquely charming restaurant that takes many of its cuisine and hospitality cues from its older sibling and next-door neighbor (the legendary L'Auberge Chez Francois). The Brasserie's venue is beautifully but simply appointed; the vibe is somehow both casual and elegant at once; the food is exquisite, and the wait staff are warm and intent upon making a diners' experience excellent and memorable. I look forward to returning soon ... particularly since one can only try so many dishes at a single sitting!

Fabulous Easter meal! Started off with a passionfruit martini which was outstanding then moved on to our main courses which consisted of the filet and lobster. Our main dishes were amazing! For dessert we got the opera cake and chocolate tart which was also fantastic. Excellent service as well!

It was a wonderful evening - as always at Jacques Brasserie. The staff is great. The place catapults you to the French countryside. The food was excellent. For the first time, I tried the Steak Poivre - it was truly excellent and perfectly prepared. Also, the asparagus/ham appetizer was quite tasty. All in all, a very good evening.

We were here to celebrate 3 April birthdays, one of which was last night. I made note of that in the comments when I booked the reservation. In the past when we’ve come for an occasion, some recognition was given for the event but not this time. No “happy birthday” greeting, no candle in our soufflé dessert, no special birthday dessert (which we’ve received in the past). Very disappointed since one of the birthdays was the guest we brought. Guess we’ll have to find a different special occasion place for next time!

Lovely classic location--would return in a heartbeat--just a couple of concerns--the lobster salad was decidedly underwhelming --a rather meager amount --I would add something beyond the verts and improve the lettuce used --burgers were excellent and the ambiance first rate however
