Jacobs & Co
November 30, 2017
Red Top Farms Wagyu ($270)– MO, USA, Bone in Striploin 18oz
Cooked medium rare, this was very soft, yet too salty for my liking.
Complimentary Cheese Popovers
My favourite item of the night! Fresh & hot, the outside is a little hard but the middle is soft bread.
Jacobs Caesar Salad ($19) – +$3 add white anchovy
This was good, I liked the anchovies and the spicy kick from the Tabasco. Big chunks of real bacon. Prepared table side, but I felt it was redundant because there was no introduction or interaction between us and the server. I noticed this was not the case with other tables though.
Beef Tartare – anchovy, caper, egg yolk, truffle oil
Possibly the least appetizing presentation of beef tartare I've had. The toasts were super hard. I found the meat paired better with the lettuce - this was easier to eat and brought out the beef flavor more, though I couldn't taste the truffle oil.
Seasonings for the steak
Creamed Spinach – Grana Padano, cream, nutmeg, half portion
I like how you can order half portion for the sides. Pretty good - the spinach is more on the raw side vs. very cooked & creamy.
Complimentary whisky-filled chocolates
Muffins to take home
Finally tried the famous Jacobs back in October. It was good, but not necessarily good value. Worth to try once, probably won't be back anytime soon.
