    Very fast service and delicious food. My party of four really enjoyed their food: pastrami salad, Philly cheesesteak, soup/sandwich combo, and pastrami on rye. We all drank tap water. Our bill came out to $90+ and after tip, it cost each of us $30. As delicious as the food was and the wonderful service, a simple meal in a non-white tablecloth venue is steep for $30. I really like this place but can't afford meals like this on a regular basis; that's for sure.

    Tipsy Pig continues to be a fantastic neighborhood restaurant -- loved the food, ambiance and friendly and efficient service. My partner had the crispy tacos, one of which he gave me. Superb. My Asian chicken salad was excellent.

    This was our final full day at Hotel Spero, and it was also our final morning at Jasper's. The morning staff has been awesome to us ever since we first stepped foot into Jasper's. That said, 11.18 is also Natasha's birthday, and they were sure to make it extra special by starting us off on the right foot. We appreciate you VERY much, and we look forward to seeing all of you again soon!
