Had an incredible date experience here with my gf. The pace is comforting. We were there for around 3 hours and the food came out at the perfect pace. Our server was informative and personable when it came to picking wine and deserts. If you’re used to nyc fast dining then this place is going to feel slow to you. But if your looking for a nice ralaxing dinner with timeless ambiance then this should be at the top of your list. My gf and I have already talked about going back to try their lunch menu. Highly recommend

Jacques is our neighborhood go-to. The food is always delicious. Especially enjoyed the beautifully prepared Branzino and the comforting and yummy chicken dinner on this very cold NYC night.
