   Dinner at Saint Jacques is always fabulous, and my birthday dinner last night was no different. A nice burgundy wine, delicious appetizers (a baked brie salad for me and foie gras for my partner Bill), outstanding entrees (a wonderful scallop dish for me and lamb chops for Bill), and wonderful desserts (a mini eclair with a birthday candle in a dollop of whipped cream for me and a cheese platter for Bill). Christian, our server, was delightful and it was great to greet Lori and Chef Lil. Beautiful tranquil ambience - an unparalleled dining experience in this area. Thank you all for a wonderful birthday celebration!

   In comparison to previous visits, the menu was again outstanding, with French Cousine's classic choices. Sustained quality. We appreciated the server ( Sarah) very much , she assisted in finding a great Split bottle of wine to compliment our menu and created a dessert size mint granite for us. Prices have increased, as expected with inflation over the last 2 years but I felt that the serving size may also have slightly decreased. Ambience remains 1900 charming within a Villa once inhabited by a budding textile industrialist. For the second half of our 2 hour and 4 course dinner, loud conversation from another table intruded on ours, voices tipsy and shrill were making it hard to ignore the content. There was no soundscape adjustment to draw it out. I appreciate not having loud music in the background and prefer classical music or mid century chansons any time. PS: There is no escape from such situation within the floor plan given, but it's also nothing to blame the proprietor for.

   Glad you enjoyed the outstanding French menu, Sarah's service and the special wine and granite for your anniversary celebration. We try to space out all out tables between the 3 dining rooms, to ensure some privacy, so sorry the larger table impacted your dining experience the later part of the evening. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts, it's greatly appreciated. Hopefully we will have the opportunity to have you again at the Burke Manor. Kindly, Lori

   I got a creamy mushroom & garlic soup. It was almost like a vegetable bisque. Smooth and luscious! The chicken crêpe was delish as always.

   Simply delightful lunch! My daily special of short rib and ravioli was wonderful as was the onion soup crock for the wife. Sarah provided excellent service. Ambience is nice, and the historic home is very well maintained. The amuse bouche was very tasty and the French Chablis was a nice accompaniment to the meal. Just 25 minutes from our home in West Greensboro. We will be back soon.

We must agree Sarah provides excellent service and a true sense to please and the amuse bouche "amused your mouth" and got you ready for your meal and the French wine paired nicely. Thank you for making the drive from Greensboro and we look forward to seeing you again soon. Lori, Chef Lil and The Burke Manor Team.

   Every dining experience there is a joy. Last evening's was superb. From the french onion soup, to the filet on pastry, with a wonderful bottle of wine and a sweet dessert - oh my! The attentive staff and obviously incredible chef always make this a dining experience to savor and remember. One of our favorite all-time spots. Great for a special occasion or just dinner out. Can.Not.Go.Wrong!!
