Sandra, our server, was very attentive and helpful. We chose Lobster Bisque, Sea Bass, and Bouillaibaisse, and everything was delicious! We shared the flourless chocolate cake for dessert, and it was well worth the calories.

I was hesitant to go thinking it would be average, overpriced food with limited view given it was dark. It was great! Maui Margarita was excellent and the crab encrusted grouper was a delicious surprise! Beautiful view even after dark with lights glistening and a couple of pelicans swimming to the Frank Sinatra music playing. Definitely a quiet, older crowd. A bit pricey but worth it for something or someone special or just an occasional treat!

Our experience at Marina Jacks at lunch today was superb. We had a dining room window seat to watch the boats in the bay. Our drinks and lunches were delicious. I would highly recommend dining at Marina Jacks. Actually, have done so for years….cruise too. Marina Jacks is my first choice to entertain out of town guests. Dr. Maribeth Jergens

The atmosphere is lovely with a magnificat view. The Oyster Rockefeller, Lobster Tails and Grouper Oscar was delicious. The only downfall was our waitress could have been a little more attentive. Overall we will continue to dine at Marina Jack’s.

The restaurant atmosphere was wonderful again. My dinner of the Crispy Red Snapper did not have a good taste.The fillet had the skin on it and had a below par flavor which was very disappointing.
