I've been going to Jack Astor's since I was in high school and I have to say it's really changed since I was 14 - but definitely for the better.
It used to have pretty generic bar food but they've since gone pretty upscale with their menu.
The bruschetta is the most delicious thing that has ever touch my tongue and I could eat it for the rest of my life It's little crisp baguette slices with tons of juicy tomatoes, onions and parsley and then they drizzle balsamic vinegar and some kind of mayo sauce on top and it is just so insanely good.
The Thai Chicken salad is great - they give big portions so you're never left hungry. The flatbread is also delicious as are the noodle bowls.
Their frozen raspberry twister is delicious and refreshing and will take the edge off even the worst work week. I've never had a dish their that wasn't really satisfying.
However, with their new upscale menu come upscale prices, so don't expect a cheap meal.
This location has a great patio that looks onto University and Front but it attracts a huge after-work crowd and the it can get packed. Expect a 20 minute wait if you show up at 5 or 6 on Friday.
