A great “space” in, what may have been a bank at one time. The food was excellent. “Jacobs” does what many restaurants do not,; serve hot food hot! Nice choice, very high standard of presentation, and the food “tasty”. A nice find!

There is no doubt that Jacobs is a very fine restaurant serving excellent food but what a pity that all that good work is spoiled by the sour aftertaste of some rather excessive charges. The early bird and set menus are good value but for...More
