I took my fiance out for dinner at St Jacques on his birthday and everything was just perfect! If you're looking for a truely authentic french restaurant, this is the place, and I'm french so you can trust me on that! I tried the scallop appetizer and the bouillabaisse, and both were excellent. The complimentary ""trou normand"" (a ball of citrus sorbet) was a very nice transition between the appetizer and entree. The service was outstanding: we went there on a quiet weeknight and Lil (the owner) took great care of us. He even wrote ""happy birthday"" with chocolate on my fiance's plate without me having to ask.
My parents are visiting me from France this month... I know where i'm taking them!
Pros: outstanding food, excellent service
Cons: a bit out of raleigh
