Watch out, they serve you the cheaper version of the drink you have ordered.
In 2 separate occasions, me and my friend have ordered Plantation XO which is a premium rum. As we are both big fans of such rum brand, as soon as we tried the first sip (in 2 separate occasions) we noticed the taste was not correct.
The first time, we asked them to correct it after a long discussion where they assured us having used the correct rum but ended up admiting they had used a „higher quality rum“ which we found very hard to believe as cheap rum is not produced in a Solera system and the taste is quite different. Nevertheless, finally they changed the rum to an actual Plantation XO which we immediately identified.
The second time, after having forgotten the first time, the exact same situation happened where both realized without having tell each other. This time we saw that they seem to get the rum from an actual Plantation XO bottle but the taste was naturally not correct so it was our assumption that they refilled the bottle with another rum. Saddly, this time the rum was so bad we simply didn’t finished it and left, promising not returning (at least for drinks).

Read moreI recently visited Jacobs with a group of 10 friends. While the service was adequate and the staff was friendly, I must express some disappointments regarding my overall experience.
One of the main criticisms revolves around the constant pressure to order excessive quantities of drinks. Despite already placing substantial orders for alcoholic beverages and food, I found it uncomfortable that every time I requested an extra drink, I was suggested to order for the entire table. If I want an additional drink, it's because I want only one, without having to say "no, just one this time, not ten."

Furthermore, I must address the quality of the food. While the appetizers were acceptable, the pasta with burrata left much to be desired. The burrata bore no resemblance to authentic burrata, resulting in a disappointing dish. Additionally, the octopus was overly chewy, further compromising the meal's enjoyment.
Overall, if you're seeking a restaurant for a quality culinary experience, I believe there are certainly better options...
