I got to say I love the new Jack Astor's.

For year's my daughter Devin would drag me to the Jack Astor's just because! But really because it was the only place she would eat and the only reason I liked going there was they had the wine that I like.  It made it all better.  From the obnoxious staff singing, to the kids, and there were lots of them throwing stuff everywhere, I cringed everytime I had to go there.  Their food was nothing to rave about either.

Now I love Jack Astor's.  They have so to speak "cleaned up their act".  Gone are the outrageousness of just the whole place.  The music is still their, and the food seems to be a hell of a lot better.  They seem to be attracting an older crowd and I like it very much.

This day my two wonderful friends Cindy and Stephanie came with.  We went to the location at Younge and Dundas which I didn't really know was there.

The bruschetta is to die for, I can't get enough of the garlic sauce on it.  The steaks are excellent.  The calarami (fried) is great.  The chicken fingers are real, and Cindy never seems to order anything else besides them.  I never seem to have a problem at "the Jack's", I really enjoy this place.

They have a great wine list so that makes me happy.

My favourite location is the one on John and Richmond.

I will defintinely be coming back to this "chain" of restaurants.

2 happy faces.
