Is anything other than the appetizer menu and salads that is good at Jack Astor's? Beats me why I keep going back. Anyway, I was super hungry after a TIFF movie so I decided to order from the Pasta menu at this place - One really really big meatball. It came, spaghetti writhed in clunky-chunky-sloppy tomato sauce... which for some reason had too much heat to it. If it's going to be spicy... you mention it somewhere in the menu. For people who don't like spice, maybe? When I mentioned it to the waitress, she acted like it wasn't her problem and like I should've known better. The meatball was hard and unappetizing. I make better pasta and meatballs at home.
My boyfriend enjoyed his meal - Crispy Honey Sesame Chicken. I didn't try it but it really didn't look all that appetizing. I was a hungry, disappointed whiner for the rest of the night. Tried eating the leftover pasta the morning after and it still tasted just as bad.
To be honest, I'll probably end up giving this place another shot sometime ... and it will probably only be because of the excellent location for pub grub.
