Jacques Waterfront Dining

This waterfront restaurant made for an incredible anniversary dinner! While there wasn’t designated parking, we found a spot near some houses and enjoyed a short walk to the restaurant. The staff were attentive and warm, making the experience even better. My husband and I both ordered the grilled chicken with pan-fried mango, served with fresh veggies—it was delicious. For dessert, I had the cheesecake, and my husband opted for the crème brûlée. Even though it was dark by 6:30 pm, the underwater lights created a lovely ambiance. They even surprised us with an anniversary dessert, which was such a thoughtful touch. Highly recommend this place for a memorable dining experience!

My wife and I decided at the last minute to choose this restaurant due to it being directly on the waterfront overlooking Rodney Bay harbor. I also chose it as we are always willing to give a restaurant a try and then return if it met our expectations. As this was our 35th Anniversary, we were pleasantly surprised by the decoration that was placed on our table prior to our seating directly across from the waterfront railing. Me being inquisitive about the potential for sea life appearing, I was delighted to see several large fish swimming before us treating us to additional atmosphere. As we are not frequent French cuisine diners, the waitress we had was very pleasant and courteous when we asked about certain items on the menu we inquired about. For an appetizer, I found the asparagus in a light cheese drizzle to be cooked very well and presented accordingly. As my wife does not normally enjoy this vegetable as much as I do I was surprised that she commented on as I did on its quality and taste. Due to her cooking skills at our home which everybody complements her for, she can be a bit critical. The beverage for myself was a Pina Colada made just right with just the correct amount of white rum that gave it a well rounded taste. For our entrees, my wife, as she is not a big seafood eater chose the chicken plate with a sauce that was orange in color which she enjoyed very much. For myself, I decided a fresh catch of Lionfish. As I have never had, the preparation was memorable for its taste and consistency. For the vegetable that came with our plates was a medley of several ones. Just enough of each to not overwhelm the main choice. When it came time to decide on desert, I let my wife choose one to share as we usually do. As it was our anniversary, they presented it with a lighted sparkler which was a very nice touch that was unexpected. By the time we left, our last wish was to get a picture of us which a server was well versed in the location to take overlooking the bay. The pictures were taken in both portrait and landscape and several of each for us to pic the best from. So as you would expect, I have no problem giving this restaurant a great review and would come again if not for trying to visit other fine restaurants that meet our adventuresome life style. Thanks again for a memorable dinner on Rodney Bay.

Out of all the restaurants visited on this trip, which were quite a few, Jacques was the worst highlight of our St. Lucia trip. Marketed as a modern French restaurant it was anything but. Appetizers were decent at best and it just went downhill from there with entrees which seemed as though they were made by a highschool cafeteria cook. The sides accompanying the mains felt like they've been dished out in a buffet and were less than mediocre. The mains themselves were bland and lacked any French influence. What was shocking to eventually find out is that this restaurant was given local awards for some reason I don't understand. The only reason I'm giving this 2 stars is because of the spectacular location on the water (which they managed to fumble with food nowhere worth the price) and the attentiveness of the staff (which I now believe they were trying to alleviate the horrible experience ahead). Now I can understand why this restaurant was not packed for a Saturday night dinner. I'm also now assuming the majority of the 5-star reviews on this restaurant is most likely fake or family/friends because this is not a 4.5 star restaurant, maybe 3 at best.

Spectacular in every way. Gourmet food with great service in a marina-front setting. We were staying at Harmony Marina Suites, so we could walk a few steps to the restaurant. The wine list is satisfactory, but could be expanded. We loved this restaurant.

We experienced great food service at Jacques from Ali and V. Get the chicken liver appetizer and garlic bread to start the evening off. We had entrees ranging from the catch of the day( grouper, dorado, or mahi mahi) and grilled lamb chops. The views of Rodney Bay and the occasional fish jumping out of the water provided extra ambiance! The excellent desserts- fresh pineapple soaked in rum, fresh passionfruit sorbet, and vanilla gateau rounded out our evening on a sweet note. I highly recommend an evening of dining and relaxation at Jacques!

Beautiful waterfront location. The food is higher in price than many other restaurants on the island. The escargot was phenomenal and barracuda entree with sides was also delicious. The service was friendly and attentive. The chicken liver appetizer was listed to come with a dijon mustard sauce but tasted like French's mustard. The seafood soup was disappointing with only 2 tiny scallops in the appetizer. The drinks were very sweet and full of juice. We didn't complain but for the high ticket the dinner was less than exceptional

We had a fantastic dinner at Jacques, from assistance disembarking our ribbon to an amazing desert, it was a most pleasant experience. The catch of the day lionfish entree was delicious and the variety of side dishes included was an amazing culinary safari. The staff was friendly and attentive while not being obtrusive. I highly recommend this restaurant.

I dined at Jacques for my Birthday, the food was delicious.My husband enjoyed The pan fried chicken in mango reduction sauce. I ordered the blackened Salmon which was tasty. The salad was simple but good but needed more dressing. The Mediterranean tomato bread was absolutely delicious- we will be back for more. Great food and staff at this waterfront restaurant 👌🏾
