Jack’s Bistro

I visited twice while in the area– once for cocktails and once for food. It was quiet both times so I assume they get all their trade over the summer months.
There’s quite an extensive cocktail menu but I feel they may be better sticking to just a few as they didn’t know how to make the one I asked for! When I stuck to more simple beverages they were perfectly nice and well priced.
The following day we returned for food. I had a trio of salmon to start which was all very nice. My main was gnocchi with a pesto chicken supreme. It was nice but there was too much gnocchi and the sauce was a little heavy.
Service was friendly though and apparently the steak and chips was great. A couple of refinements and this place would be fantastic!

First thing to say, this place is worth going for the chips alone, they are a work of art and everyone should try them.
For the rest, this is a nicely kitted out restaurant with a good bar, although the cocktails are an afterthought, either do them properly or don’t do them (or cut enough off the menu so you can really nail a few). In fact I feel like that is a bit of a theme here.
I had a steak for a main course, which was a good quality piece of meat, cooked accurately with a tasty blue cheese sauce (oh and the chips, those chips…) simple and very effective. My starter was mushrooms in a variety of ways but I just felt like it was trying too hard with none of it packing the punch you want at a bistro.
Overall worth the trip and the price, if you’re in the area and want to get yourself a good steak you’ll be one happy customer.
Oh and check out the awesome wine vault they have downstairs!

Great service and food. My family enjoyed the menu and the service. The staff is very friendly and professional. Live music is an added bonus.

Just had our office Christmas lunch at this place. Very nice, cozy atmosphere. Service was great, all agreed that the food was excellent and the price for a group was fair, if not a good deal. The overpriced wine list was the only real drawback. Best to take a cab or make a plan for parking before you get there.

Quality has gone down over the last few months — used to be a regular visitor, but have found better elsewhere. Not the best value.
