We sat on the patio to enjoy the view and of course you don't have that chance all year long. The tables inside were almost full and it was loud; everyone was enjoying a nice meal and the company. The staff are nice and friendly. We ordered "Shrimp Taco", "Seafood Linguini with Alfredo Sauce", "Battered Haddock", "Salmon New Orleans" and "Sautéed Shrimp". Our food came with sides our choice; grilled vegetables, fries, green salad and mashed potato. Everything was delicious and cooked to perfection.

Last night was terrible all around, and probably my last visit. Very slow kitchen, inattentive service and poor food quality (burnt patty, soggy toppings). Wasn't even busy inside the dinning area. Also frustrates me that you are forced to pay a minimum of 18% tip for service that ruins your night! That's what's wrong with workers these days. They get paid regardless on how they turn up!

My parents live in a seniors residence nearby and were looking for a dependable Restaraunt in the…read morearea to deliver quality meals on a regular basis. I literally drove my father in to the restaraunt on George street and walked him through how easy it would be for them to patronise a local establishment. The stage was set for a regular customer who would also be able to promote this service among the other residents of their substantial facility. Instead of receiving delivery as scheduled for 5:15 after a follow up call at 6:00 PM the order of soggy chips and barely edible food was dropped off shortly before 7:00. Instead of an apology the restaraunt wanted to tell their tale of woe. Opportunity knocked and will now seek service quality and decency elsewhere. If you promote a service you need to deliver in the deliverables. Shame on Jacks incompetent staff and systems.

Stopped by this restaurant on our way back to Toronto from Canada Dinasour park for lunch. I was…read morepleasantly surprised with the quality of food and the reasonable price. We ordered three dishes - Pear and beet salad, Chicken parmigiana and Smoked salmon egg Benedict. They were all priced below $15. The portion of each dish was generous. The salad came with perfectly cooked pear and beet. It was nicely seasoned with balsamic vinegar dressing and goat cheese. Chicken parmigiana was phenomenal - with perfect amount of cheese and tomato sauce. Smoked salmon benefit was ok - a bit saggy with Hollande sauce and side potatoes were overly cooked. Staff were very friendly as well. The interior was simple but clean. We will definitely go back to this restaurant when we are in the neighborhood!
