"Our server was very attentive. We had to ask for things that should have been already on our table. She was talking and eating and expect us to give TIP. She was not worth the TIP that was suggested in our receipt."

"Jack Bistro is a very casual restaurant that still has a cute decor. The service is top-notch - everything we asked for was delivered speedily and with a genuine smile. The French Bistro food was surprisingly good for such a casual and reasonably priced place; I loved the ricotta and, I believe, mushroom crepes and my dining companion equally enjoyed his potato soup and ham and brie sandwich. The frites (french fries) were also great - and when my companion asked for his well done, that's exactly what he received. All in all, if you're looking for someplace where you are not going to be overcharged but still have a wonderful dining experience in a fun, casual setting, go to Jack Bistro."

"If you're looking for a great outdoor dining spot, this is it! Brunch menu has a long list of breakfast and lunch dishes which is always hard to find (many places have 4-6 entrees and that's it)."

"Jack's is a great find in NYC! For a very reasonable price you receive a quality meal of great well prepared food! The menu has something for everyone, the service is friendly and dishes beautifully presented. We went there for my birthday because my favorite dessert is profiteroles which were excellent! But I had the roast turkey dinner (excellent) preceded by the lettuce wedge with blue cheese dressing and tomatoes. Excellent! All three items included in the prix fixe meal - usually you are not offered such great choices. I love this restaurant and also enjoy their great $12.00 lunches during the week which include soup or salad, a soft drink and an entree (great variety to choose from). Excellent value, great food and varied selections!"

"Awesome $24 deal for 3 courses - And you can substitute one, two, or three of the course for a glass of wine or beer. I went with three friends, I got one appetizer, which was big enough for the three of us to share (mac and cheese) and really good. So they each just an entree and 2 glasses of wine.
After that, glasses of wine were only $5, and it was a Saturday night.
