    Christmas Day evening. Ordered Cadillac Margarita, guacamole, quesadillas. Luis was bartending and also server. The appetizers were very, very good and the Cadillac Margarita is HUGE! Be careful when ordering! Guacamole is home made, and the quesadillas are made with churrasco skirt steak. Very yummy! Ordered the Birria tacos and the Churrasco skirt steak. Again, everything was very flavorful and cooked as requested. Luis made the evening - checking in to see how everything was going even though he had a party of 50 he was attending to as well. Kudos! Thank you for a great evening.

    Terrific dining experience! This was not my first time there. I have to admit the food was equal too or above that I enjoyed in Italy. Easily put, great food, excellent staff, comfortable decor, low noise level, expensive but worth it. Not a restaurant to overlook.

    This was our second year dining at Jack’s, and once again, it was a fantastic experience! The food is outstanding, and they do a great job accommodating gluten-free requests—even providing delicious gluten-free rolls at the table. By chance, Alma was our server both times, and we were blown away when she remembered where I sat, what I ate, and my allergy from a year ago. Such impressive service! We highly recommend Jack’s for a wonderful dining experience.

    Our server, Chris, made our experience absolutely outstanding. The presentation of the food was beautiful and tasty. Wonderful ambience. It was my husband’s birthday dinner and one for the memory books! Chris made suggestions, was personable and so attentive and respectful. We returned to Flying Fish because the Red Snapper had returned to the menu. The whole experience WOWED us!
