Who makes reservations for valentines day at Jack Astors?
My family came here for dinner at 4:45 pm on a Monday. The restaurant and bar were more or less empty, as you may imagine. Except it was valentines day. Why were we there? We were having a family dinner before heading to a funeral home...
After telling the hostess we didn't have a reservation, she essentially scoffed at us. She stared into the completely empty dining room and told us they couldn't fit us in because of all the reservations they had. Fair enough, honour your reservations. But given the time of day, and how empty the restaurant was, it seemed pretty ridiculous. We were told we could eat in the bar, if we liked.
Looking back, we probably should have walked across the parking lot to Milestones. Our server was disengaged and unimpressive. Brought the food and never really checked in. Coffee was burnt. When I asked for a dessert and coffee menu, she looked at me like I had two heads. Brought the bill (for over $150.00) and disappeared for 25 minutes. Had to flag down another server to pay the tab.
Overall pretty unimpressive.
