I had the veal piccata and it was excellent. Eggplant parmesan appetizer was very nice. My wife had a margarita before dinner thatshe said need a little work. Our guests loved Jack's and we have recommended it to our family.

I'm allergic to dairy and the menu didn't say the bruschetta had cheese which was a little annoying, but my fault I should have asked. The polpo wasmore chorizo than octopus, and their risotto was not slow cooked. They didn't have espresso, and make their canoli with heavycream. (Proper canoli cream is ricotta and confectioners sugar) Not awful but I wouldn't go back.

Server and Manager were warm and courteous. Great service. Cocktails were done right. Coconut mojita, lemon drop, kingsclub. The walking fool blend was a great choice. House bread was a good assortment. Appetizers were smaller portions ofcalamari. Bruschetta was flavorful. Lamp chops was great and medium rare would be best. The salmon, trout and A la checa angelhair were good portions and done right..the choco chip creme brule and pana cotta were a great choice of dessert. Place can geta makeover..recommended ..
