Saint Jacques @ The Burke Manor

St.Jacques is in the Burke Manor Inn. It is a charming venue in Gibsonville. Across the street are operating railroad tracks, a train passed during our meal. A 2 story White manor with wrap around porch and rotundas on both corners is set beside a gravel drive and surrounded by greenery so you feel away from town. 2 enormous Magnolias are to one side of the manor creating a tunnel as you drive up.
Entering you see a lovely staircase ahead and the dining areas in each rotunda. We were greeted with a smile and kindness. We were seated by a window in one of the rotundas complete with brick fireplace, sparkling chandelier and a floor to ceiling library shelves on one side. Linen covered tables (only 4 total) greeted us with fresh flowers and lights on every table. Listening we heard soft music, often French, to set the relaxing mood for our meal.
The menu was extensive in my opinion with options of beef, lamb, seafood, and pasta for everyone including Gluten Free upon request. A meal here is an event- meaning it’s not rushed. We enjoyed each course and relaxed along the journey from appetizer to dessert.
It felt like we were dining in another time when dinner was an event not just a time to eat. We highly recommend treating yourself to the experience. We will definitely return.
