This Jack Astor's is located near the North York Centre in a very heavy traffic area. We came here for a birthday celebration and as a group of 7, they sat us in the first floor near the bar. This restaurant is huge as it has two floors and a patio. They have big screens TVs on the first floor showing sports and music videos with music from the videos blasting through the restaurant. Washrooms are coed in the first floor meaning that it can only be used by one person only, male or female.
However in terms of the food, this place is average at best. The menu is eclectic with different cuisines serving as inspiration but the execution of the dishes is lacking. I ordered the Bombay Chicken Curry Bowl while my wife ordered the Pad Thai Bowl with Grilled Chicken and Shrimp. The Chicken Curry was so bland that I had to ask for Tabasco sauce to "spice it up". The Naan was very good though. My wife's dish was better but could not compare to a Pad Thai from a Thai restaurant. With the competition in the area, I understand their rationale behind the menu but the execution needs work. Also the prices of the dishes are not cheap at all.
Kudos to our server who was attentive but away from our table for extended stretches as she was the only one serving in the first floor.
Not Recommended for the food.
