About the restaurant

Saint Jacques at The Burke Manor Inn is the only 4 Diamond AAA rated restaurant in the Triad. Located in the picturesque railway town of Gibsonville, we serve dinner Wednesday - Saturday and lunch Thursday - Saturday. We recommend reservations! Enjoy a glass of wine on the veranda then convene to the intimate dining room where a fine French meal is offered. The owners, Lil & Lori, previously owned Saint Jacques French Cuisine in Raleigh, which was voted one of the top 100 restaurants in the US by OpenTable diners under their ownership from 2009-2014. They have brought those same standards they applied in Raleigh for 10 years to the Inn. As of 2014 they have received the 4 Diamond AAA rate yearly.

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.

So glad we came across this hidden gem! Our food and service were great. Brendan, our server, was attentive, charismatic, and very knowledgeable of the menu. We enjoyed the seasonal salad and Brussels Caesar. The Margherita flatbread was fresh and flavorful. The shrimp and salmon was well-seasoned with a spicy kick. The spicy rigatoni pasta was flavorful and had just the right amount of spice. We loved the impressive spirits menu. The lemon cake was my light and not too sweet. Delicious! Looking forward to returning!

Our lunch at Osteria was wonderful! The restaurant was packed for lunch and they had a large private party in the back room. I was so impressed by the excellent service and how quickly everyone received their food. The staff did an outstanding job making all of us feel welcome. Our meals were delicious and the wine recommendations paired beautifully with our food. Osteria is one of my favorite restaurants in Greensboro!

About the restaurant

Restaurant/Bar with amazing Food, Drinks, and Service.

We strive to make your dining experience unique, flavorful and unexpected. Not your typical restaurant or bar, Rascals Tavern is a chef-owned restaurant offering fresh, flavorful dishes that reflect our rebellious nature. Everything is fresh and made from scratch by order so we cannot guarantee that we will have all of the items on the menu when you visit. More popular dishes and sandwiches will sell out quickly or she may use the last of one of her fresh ingredients before the day runs out. However, Chef Jessica can whip up something unique for you . . . Especially if you have a vegetarian, vegan or gluten free diet.

Limited capacity in-door seating and outdoor seating available.
Patio is not guaranteed but can be requested by calling 336-944-5527. We kindly ask that you limit your dining time during peak hours due to NC state-regulated capacity restrictions. Thank you for your understanding.

Service was outstanding. We were in from out of town and wanted to dine in a low key, local joint. Our group wanted burgers and bourbon and Rascals hit the spot on both!
