Perfectly Cooked Steak. Wow.
OK, so I don't really like Jack Astor's normally. Only went to watch TFC lose (like most Toronto teams do), and JA locations are good for watching games. I forgot to eat dinner beforehand, so had to get food there. Usually I detest what they serve and their prices are ridiculous on some things (ex. Wings... Jesus).
Ordered Steak Frites. The steak was a tad fattier than I would have liked but holy hell, it was cooked PERFECTLY. I always order Medium Rare and this was exact. Pink throughout but hot. Steaks at restaurants are always overcooked or cold in my opinion. So surprised by JA!
It came with these delicious truffle parmesan fries. They were awesome!
Our server, Avery, was great too. She checked in frequently, had lots of helpers to dispense the food and drinks to us, and even poured our beer for each of us out of the pitcher. One drink order got messed up, but that was through a different server that was checking in on us. No biggie (though it was an expensive scotch).
The reason for the one star off; it took a while to get our seat, despite a reservation and open tables everywhere.
This is a lot longer review than I intended. I think I was just surprised but what a good experience I had at a Jack Astor's. Will definitely be back to this location.
