Reached Jack Astor's in search of dessert while exploring the area. Most restaurants and ice cream parlours were shut, but we desperately needed some ice cream in warm -10 evening. Astor's came to the rescue.
Surprised at the average reviews for the place. But we had a great night. Can't be sure about the food...we just had a draught beer - can't complain, a mock tail - pretty decent, regular fries - frozen not house cut :( with chipotle mayo , s'mores Sunday - fantabulous.
The atmosphere was super casual, the brown paper and crayons on each table is a genius idea for the establishment. Service was a bit on the slower side, but not too bad. Lots of screens with sports on to keep you busy, in case you get bored of drawing your life.
I also love the fact the subway entrance is right below the restaurant.
