OK, this is my first ever restaurant review, so be patient....I never knew that a meal could bring such bliss until I ate at Jacques! I was in grad school in NOLA for a few years in the mid/late 90's, and even we could afford it! I can only speak for the only meal I ever ordered [over and again]: pork-chop stuffed w/ massive amounts of shrimp and crab and topped w/ Portabello mushrooms; plus some heavenly mashed potatoes (rosemary? garlic? I forget); the best corn macquechoux [sp?] I've ever had the pleasure to ingest... Anybody new come into NOLA? We immediately dragged them to Jacque's; and they *always* loved it, as well. The one time our food was late, Jacques presented us w/free wine.
Pros: Incredible food at sensible costs.
Cons: Lately - the wait to get a table.
