| - Went to jack astor's for valentines day. We were smart and arrived for 5pm early dinner. The service was very good. The place was packed. I was not blown away by the food.
We tried the following:
Crab and Lobster Dip: This dish was very salty, the quantity of dip seemed a bit small and the seafood was sparse. The dish seemed large, but it was not deep. We enjoyed eating the warm pitas served, but we ran out of dip, so I took home the left over nachos. Would not repeat this appetizer because it seemed very processed and not at all homemade.
Buffalo Chicken Cobb Salad: We were sharing apps, so the waitress split the salad on to two plates for us, which was very nice. There was too little bacon and blue cheese for my liking. The chicken was absolutely delicious. Celery seemed to be an odd choice to have in the salad. I did not like the dressing. I would not purchase this cobb salad again.
Brownie filled cookie with vanilla ice cream: The over sized cooked was served warm and the vanilla ice cream was delicious. I would order this again
Banana Split: This was marketed as a kid size, but it was massive, my whole family could have shared it.
Rubbarb Cheesecake in a mason jar: I had high expectations for this dessert and did not love it. In fact, I thought it lacked a homemade quality. The cheesecake pieces were rectangular and seemed very processed, almost like it came out of a freezer.
Overall, I think Jack's might be a meat restaurant because the buffalo chicken ontop of the cobb salad was amazing, crispy on the outside and juicy in the middle. My husband went to jack's last week and had the steak, he said it was comparable to the keg and he is a big red meat guy.
