Saint Jacques French Cuisine

Excellent fine dining with a french style ambience and cuisine. We were looking for a such a local restaurant to rekindle wonderful memories of our visit to Paris, FR several years ago and found the Saint Jacques to be right on the money with a low noise, white tablecloth, friendly environment. The delicious, french based, multicourse dinner was excellent and paired with an equally charming french chef, Serge Falconz-Vigne, who was the icing on the cake so to speak. We will be back and plan to bring more friends with us.

Really great experience! Above and beyond expectations! Love this place!

Great for an anniversary or date night. A bit pricey, but service was fantastic. Food was great as well.

Food was fabulous! Thought I’d was a bit too bright. Should dim lights a bit lower for a more romantic ambiance. Could not tell there were candles in the table due to the bright lights on. Our waiter was a nice , young man but very slow and he seemed to have trouble figuring out when to take away our plates and could not bring two coffee cups out at the same tine. But again the food was best French cuisine I have ever had.

Excellent food and atmosphere result in the best dining experience in the Triangle!

Excellent food. Excellent service. Very nice evening.

Lovely and very enjoyable

Always delicious! Friendly service!
The mussels were the best I've ever had---so tasty!

Excellent food and service.
We had one question about our wine and the chef came out to discuss and took excellent care of us.

Exceptional food and experience. The staff is very professional. Great experience. Thank you

This was our second time going to Saint Jacques. The first was for our anniversary and this time was for my birthday. It is definitely a great spot for special occasions. For a full 3 course meal with drinks it was around $200. Very good spot and is our go-to place for French cuisine.

Incredible restaurant!!! Food and service is perfection.
If you haven’t been you must go.
The salmon ravioli is the best you will ever have. Flounder was crisp, tender and who knew chestnut grits could be so wonderful. Can’t wait to go back.

Great dinner. The food was spectacular.

Excellent food, beautifully prepared and wonderful flavors.

Had a fantastic experience. The s’more reve was to die for.

Another great experience at St. Jacques. The French onion soup I think is the best in Raleigh. I took a friend out for his birthday and it was really a special evening. Excellent service and attention to detail.

Great French Cuisine. Very enjoyable birthday dinner. Excellent service. Several courses, paced very well. Good selection of European wines.

For those who want a "real" taste of French cuisine, and for those who miss it! Great food, great Chef and professional and friendly staff. A bit of my homeland in Raleigh!

The sauce on the frog legs was fabulous. Sopped up every bit with bread rather than leave any behind. Meal and service 5 star!!

From the moment we walked in the door we were transported to a perfect experience in France. The service was great, Chef Serge greeting us with the foie gras, the appetizers, entree and dessert were simply exquisite. I cannot wait until my wife and I have another night out so we can try even more of the menu. Could not have asked for a better experience for our 10th anniversary.

Lunch at St. Jacques was delicious and delightful in every way.

I have had dinner, with friends, at the restaurant a number of times, and the food has always been extraordinary. When a group of 6 wanted a restaurant with excellent food and service, I immediately thought of St. Jacques. Five of the six of us had the St. Jacques seafood crepe, and it was quite spicy and salty. Four of the six diners had the profiteroles, and the pastry was over baked, and the ice cream was so hard it was difficult to cut into without the scoop skittering across the plate. Lunch was good, but not the quality I have come to expect from St. Jacques.

Everything was top notch, superb, wonderful, fantastic, etc. from the soup to the dessert and all the tastings in between.

It was everything we had hoped for! The food was delicious and the service was great!

Fantastic! Wonderful service and some of the most authentic French cuisine in the area. 10/10!

Awesome food and wine. We had a great meal and will be back.

My wife had the fish and I had the steak both were excellent. The service was outstanding as usual.

My wife and I have eaten at Saint Jacques three times now and will continue to frequent this lovely restaurant in the future. The cuisine reminds me of meals we have enjoyed in Europe and the atmosphere is very inviting. Chef Serge makes the entire dining experience very pleasurable.

Simply the only and MOST French place to feel exquisitely fed. The pate reminded me of pate I used to buy at the Paris farmer's market. The Coquille St. Jacques was better than kissing Nick Jonas and the duck was juicy, rare and divine. Great place to get engaged or divorced, either way the food will guide you to more heavenly float.

Our dining experience at Saint Jacques was nowhere near as exceptional as our past visit. M6 husband never received his second course, my main course (Duck) came overcooked. I very clearly and specifically requested medium rare and it came not even a little pink in the middle. His main course (short ribs) were a bit dry and oddly bland. The service was not particularly bad or good. The best part of the meal was the amazing amuse boush, brought to the table by the very pleasant chef.

The food here is just outstanding and the service impeccable. We went for New Years Eve so they had a set menu. I would say it wasn’t as good as their normal menu, but I think that is typical for any restaurant on such a busy special occasion night. The chef came out and spoke to every table which was amazing. They always have some kind of savory crime brûlée which is to die for.

We went here for New Year's Eve. While the food was nice, it wasn’t anything special; below our very high expectations for this restaurant. Given how expensive the meal was, the quality-price-ratio was not terribly high. It’s doubtful that we’ll return here.

Fabulous food in a romantic setting. The service was exceptional . A visit from the chef was a great touch. I'd recommend it to anyone who has a special occasion planned.

Favorite restaurant in the Triangle - love the atmosphere and the food!

Chef Serge is an outstanding chef! We thoroughly enjoyed the joyful flavors of every bite! We felt like we were wining and dining in downtown Paris. The decor, French and English speaking chef, excellent service, etc. They’ve thought of it all! I would highly recommend dining there so you can experience firsthand the empecible quality of food Chef Serge provides. What an experience. Thank you for the wonderful Parisian feel! Amazing!

Everything was top-notch. The food was excellent, with a nice mix of flavors and a twist on French classic dishes. The service was excellent. A lovely experience! We’ll be back.

We visited this restaurant for the first time and thoroughly enjoyed it! Dinner was served in courses over an hour and a half. Excellent!

Another lovely dinner. We really enjoyed the Salmon ravioli appetizer in the light cream sauce!!!!

Delicious food with amazing service! Everything was cooked to perfection and authentic French cuisine. This is our new favorite restaurant in Raleigh!

A calm in a storm of “get it done, let’s wrap this Christmas up”. Didn’t know of Saint Jacque picked it because 1. it was near by and 2. French Resturants are about cheif’s potentials and a dining experience. You will not be disappointed. Great atmosphere. No cackling groups on expense accounts since most of Raleigh’s fine dining as become entertainment. Good job kitchen and staff! Was a good find.
