JACK FRY'S

Jack Fry's is always a good bet when you want to have a great dinner, be damned the cost.
What, I wondered, could you do there on a frugal night or when, as tonight, you aren't particularly hungry?
I slipped away from my drudgery today and had a late snack at Blue Dog.... I sat at Blue Dog in complete peace with Shannon and Michelle,reading my New York Times and sipping my coffee. Doesn't get much better than that~~

Back to Jack Fry's. WFS has a fixation with eating out some nights...tonight was one of those nights.
Pick the spot...I don't care, anywhere...no, pick the spot~you know the drill.
Finally, we both settled on Jack Fry's. We arrived early to a spattering of folks... we were warned the restaurant was booked come 7:30...we promised to make it out on time.

We were seated in our favorite booth. We wasted nary a breath nor a moment getting our orders in. We agreed on salad and soup.
WFS ordered the stilton and mixed greens, I, the roasted beets and arugula. Oh, they make lovely salads.
We both ordered the soup of the night.... white bean, chicken and a creamy broth... a fine variation on white chili..our large white bowls arrived steaming hot. So, so, good on a very chilly, drizzly night.
We relaxed, savoring our soups....
We had plenty of time for the cobbler and ice cream...indulge, indulge!
Our server was informed, polite and kept our glasses full, our bread fresh and our service prompt. What's not to like about that?

This review is about eating economically. Seems most of our high ticket restaurants are trying new methods to stay the course during this foul economy..Jack Fry's IS staying the course with it's tried and true and, if one wishes, one can find great food right on the menu at great prices. Jack Fry's was, as promised, booked to the hilt at 7:30.
Our bill came in at 51.94...fair enough to make me happy.
