I looked on Yelp for a quiet place near my father's memory care community, and Jack's was highly thought of -- with good reason. Great, reasonable salads and pasta, attentive service, and classy ambience all combined to make my 82-year-old father and me very happy.

Never got to eat in the restaurant but we ordered some take away food which was excellent. The establishment was almost full when I collected and there was a buzz about the place and the staff were very friendly and helpful.

House salad had a fantastic citrus low-cal vinegarette, sole w/crab a little rich but delicious. Paella flavorful but a disappointment due to mushy rice. Warm & inviting service. Not perfect but will be back because overall this was an above average dining experience.

We searched many of the online sites for a restaurant last weekend and settled on Jack's. I am so glad we followed our instincts. The owner Jack was there which is always a great sign. The waiters were attentive and professional. All four of our dinners were prepared carefully and arrived hot and delicious. The atmosphere was quiet; the service... More

Several delicious fish dishes. Decent wine selection. I encourage adding more organic food items to the menu. I would return to Jack's.

The homemade eggplant Parmesan is insane. The grass fed Beef 'turner filet is amazing...oh and the pizza that's good too!

I can't say enough about how I was impressed by this place on a recent trip to So Cal...from top to bottom, this place exudes love and care for both health and a responsibility to the Earth. Food is handpicked to ensure the highest standards of "clean" and pure, and is prepared so lovingly and is reflective of the overall... More
