Dinner at Capitol Greenstreet: Jack's Loft

The Clairvoyant and I decided to check out the restaurants at the Capital Golf area last week as we both arrived home early in the evening. It turns out that the place is now called Capitol Greenstreet. I haven't been in the area since our office had dinner at Gerry's a few years ago. Gerry's is a popular restaurant, which has a branch there that is located at the top level of the building and which afforded a nice view of the Capitol Golf Course during the day. There are several restaurants there including a branch of Pancake House and what looked like a new resto in what seems to be the old location of a branch of Carlo's Pizza (based on the photos in Greenstreet's Facebook page). As there were few people in the area at the time, we decided to go to the first place we saw that had some diners. And so we went to Jack's Loft, which appeared to be owned and operated by the people behind Pho Hoa. In fact, the two restaurants share the same space at Greenstreet.

Jack's Loft, the Clairvoyant remembered and reminded me, is where I first ordered iced tea served in a fish bowl at their branch in Eastwood. A definite twist to the "bottomless" iced tea concept, it's something one should probably try once at the restaurant. Their menu is basically American-style fast food offering burgers, sandwiches, desserts and a variety of drinks including the alcoholic types and coffee concoctions. There are many choices for diners so I think the restaurant is a safe choice for people who haven't quite decided what to eat or drink. Their desserts though are quite good and definitely something to try whether after a meal or over coffee.
