    Service was excellent; quality of the food was outstanding. We look forward to dining here each year while in Sarasota. An excellent treat during our annual Lido Beach vacation.

    I get that the venue should come at a premium, but the cost and quality of the food is a little ridiculous. The dining room is in desperate need of updating.

    Steak was overcooked and had to send it back. Also under seasoned. Salmon was also overcooked. Too expensive for the quality

    We dined in upstairs dining room. Very beautiful and view fantastic. We all hate the specials and they were fabulous!!! Really enjoyed ourselves. Little pricey but we did pick the very best to eat! And it did not disappoint!! Will be back.

    We had such a great experience! Elizabeth, the hostess, treated us like family from the moment we walked in. Sergio, our server, did an awesome job taking care of us, and the food was fantastic. Can’t wait for our next trip to Sarasota so we can come back!

    Great location with a view. A Sarasota landmark. Food was good, but not excellent and prices were higher than expected.

    Our Group of ten women now aged from 79 to 93 have met for many many years to celebrate birthdays or just have lunch together at Marina Jacks fine dining room. We are always pleased with the wonderful food and extra special service. Our group has lived in Sarasota for years starting in the 1950’s and still We gather here.
