Jasper's is one of my favorite restaurants in the area, and I've eaten there multiple times.\r
\r
The Maytag Blue Cheese Potato Chips are dangerously addictive, and I apprecate the ""backyard gourmet"" concept with mostly simpler entrees given a mild gourmet twist. Peach barbeque pork chops! Rotisserie Free Range Lemon Chicken! I almost always get the Jasper's Greens salad, and my favorite entree is Salmon with creamy marscarpone polenta. I love the bourbon creamed corn as side dish!\r
\r
I confess, I don't like the jazzed-up Mac-n-cheese, though. Just does not taste all that good. Maybe it's the ham in it.\r
\r
I've taken my mother here to brunch once or twice, and I love the crabcake benedict on those days!\r
\r
Regarding some other reviewer's complaints about portion size: I actually appreciate the portions here! Texas as a whole is terrible about restaurant plates with far too much food -- Jasper's plates are reasonably-sized for those of us who do not want to join the growing obese population. \r
\r
And, the ""mini"" desserts allow one to have dessert very cheaply, or to get a little trio of desserts.\r
\r
Finally, I've never ever experienced bad service here! The decor is tastefully modern, sophisticated, and calm. \r

Jasper's hits it for me on all points.
