Editorial Review for Rue Saint Jacques – by Daniel Liszt
The Scene
Jazzy beats spring from a silver stereo sitting beneath windows that offer glimpses of the neighborhood. Further along tan-splashed walls, three vertical mirrors help the lone room feel bigger than it is. Grey-haired groups and couples celebrating anniversaries sit on brown and burgundy leather banquettes as black-clad waiters scoot between the wine room and kitchen.
The Food
Expect French fare with a gourmet accent. Filling starters include a creamy mango and crab soup, and an endive and ahi salad dressed with a tangy mix of soy sauce and olive oil. The entrees get high grades for presentation and taste. A seared filet mignon is spread with a rich black truffle and foie gras sauce. Much lighter is the Maine lobster tail wrapped in a sole filet, then presented atop red rice. The sorbet-like nougat ice cream arrives swimming in a strawberry-honey pool.

food was great, very affordable. the place was small.we were immediately seated but it was quite a long wait for the food to be served. tables are near with each other. not a romantic place to dine. ambiance average. i recommend that you make reservation since the place has limited seating.

We happened on this place last night at 6:25 p.m. The pre-theatre menu price of $22.95 expires at 6:30 so we high-tailed it in and ordered. SO had composed salad, steak frites and creme brulee (glass of wine included). I had cream of asparagus soup, halibut and chocolate mousse (wine included). Everything done to perfection. The halibut was not the normal dense steak but a tender filet, if there is such a thing. Beware! Everything is tasty but rich! The only extra we ordered was coffee and a generous tip totaled $70!!!! Food delish, service quite charming (matches the ambience) people from the neighb and beyond. We most definitely will be back as we've found our latest favorite SF place!
Pros: Quiet when there but may get crowded later. See above!
Cons: what cons?
