My experience at St. Jack was actually very poor. They served me two unopened oysters and the broth tasted funky. Also, my server didn't know which wines were on their menu or anything about wine in general.

That said, here's an awesome shot at redemption, St. Jack, via your free food.

Mussels*, not oysters.

That's a bummer. I pretty much only ever order the mussels and frites, and it's always been exceptional for me, whereas I've had a lot of funky mussels elsewhere. Hope they can make it up to you…

THEY HAVE A SANDWICH BOARD OUT FRONT OF THEIR PLACE SAYING THEY'VE GOT BRUNCH. THAT'S A LIE. ALL THEY'VE GOT ARE PASTRIES AND COFFEE. NOT EVEN ANY TABLES. I DEMAND A BRUNCH. I AM ENTITLED TO THAT.

My experience at St. Jack wasn't great either. They managed to screw up my friend's drink twice in a row.

I want to preface this by saying I generally don,t go to pretentious trendy places often(I have been to many fine restaurants and bistros however), but my Mother is half French and I lived several years as a young man in Toulon and Lyons....so....The food on our visit (myself and a friend) was very good, though I thought it could have been more diverse? The service was horrendous, and rude. Had I not been with a 26yr old lady, I probably would have been tempted to throw that sullen little douchebag waiter in the dumpster out back.....I really hope that aspect has improved, as there is really no need to tolerate it. Also, St Jacks is quite overpriced...probably because 20-30 something (generally white) psuedo cultured Americans who have never actually been anywhere are easily impressed. Maybe I should have submitted this to IA,eh?

Thanks for the pep-talk and awareness of the free food, Marjorie. I live in the neighborhood, so I've been waiting for an event like this to nudge me into giving it another shot :)

Congrats, @6, for hating pretentiousness and yuppies (oh, sorry, pseudo-cultured Americans) while showing plenty of pretentiousness yourself. Plus a little macho posturing thrown in for good measure.

So yeah, that would have been a fine candidate for IA.

"Maybe I should have submitted this to IA,eh?"

Maybe you ought to just shut the fuck up and continue the ride up your own asshole.

Please wait...
