    Out server tried very hard to be accommodating, but they were clearly short staffed, so service was slow. The food was not seasoned well or enough and was bland.

    We enjoyed our food but everything was lukewarm at best. Nothing wrong with the food we ate but also nothing memorable to make us want to return. The outdoor seating is nice being right on the water.

    My son and I had a fantastic meal today and was helped along the way by Jackie. She was extremely professional, kind and on top of things at all times. Very helpful in all respects. Made the meal an experience my son and I will remember for a long long time as he just moved down to the Tampa area. He was extremely grateful with Jackies kindness and her personality!! Thank you very much!!!

    Had a wonderful time at Jackson’s celebrating a coworker’s retirement. The friendly hosts seated us immediately even though we were a little early for our reservation, and we got a great spot outside overlooking the bay. Our server was awesome; very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. Rarely had to ask for anything as he was always right around the corner already bringing it our way. I’m sorry that I don’t remember his name, but he really was great. We had sushi, grouper bites and coconut shrimp for appetizers and they were all perfect. The sweet sauce used to dress one of the rolls (can’t remember the name of the roll but it was lightly fried, with crab) was TO DIE FOR. So good! For entrees I had the special of pecan crusted salmon over brussels and sundried tomatoes, the sweet green sauce was the perfect compliment to the dish and if it wasn’t frowned upon I would have licked the plate clean. My coworkers ordered the lobster po’boy and the Tuscan chicken and we were all very impressed with both the quality and the plating. As a first time diner at Jackson’s, I have to say I was very happy with the experience. The restaurant interior was beautiful and so was the outdoor seating area. The only negative part was that there was a good bit of construction being performed right near the building so at times it got a little loud (and there was a bumblebee that reaaaally wanted my espresso martini lol), but it is what it is. Thank you to the wait staff, hosts, and the cooks/Chef for providing a 5-star experience. I’ll definitely be back with more friends!
