Other than noise level - it was a fabulous experience. Service was outstanding and the food was extraordinary - wonderful choices prepared perfectly and presented beautifully. We appreciated a perfect weather opportunity to enjoy dining outside in the shade. It was really a best of Sarasota experience and we won’t wait so long to return next time.

The food and service as usual were excellent! We really enjoy Jack Dusty - BUT - last evening presented a problem. Our outside table which is usually reasonably quiet was subjected (maybe because it was Saturday night) to a simply atrocious singer who in lieu having even a smidgen of talent, turned up the volume. This is not what one would ever expect of a Ritz Carlton - anywhere.

Atmosphere was casual. View was pleasant but not gulf view. Steak dinner was very good but shrimp pasta ($46) was so so, as shrimp was cut in small pieces and mixed into the dish. I would have expected large shrimp placed nicely on plate. Service was very good but not outstanding. Disappointed overall because it was the Ritz Carlton and I expected it to be over the top.

The atmosphere was great. The food was good. The service was very slow. I don't know if it was the waiter or kitchen. The waiter was very nice. We were there just shy of three hours for dinner and returned the next morning for breakfast and that also took a while. We had the same waiter. Overall, the restaurant is worth a try. Can't beat the view.

Service was very slow. We ordered the kid food first expecting it to be delivered ASAP but instead their food didn’t come until much later with the adult food that was ordered afterward - by then the kids were getting very cranky. Also, $17 for slowly-delivered cheerios and milk is ridiculous. I’m not even someone who needs to care about money!

Although pricey, Jack Dusty consistently delivers with positively delicious food from an extremely interesting menu. As is customary in our world, servers have too many tables and are unable to provide timely attention which is frustrating.

We got a last minute reservation as we were craving some seafood and had a lovely dinner out on the patio. My husband got the unconventional gumbo with the nights special fish of grouper. He was very satisfied by all the flavors and the portions were very generous. I ordered the seafood cioppino. The orange peel broth was so flavorful and not too salty. Loved the bay scallops shrimp and mussels. Unfortunately just a few clams that remained closed and a couple of pieces of fish. This was accompanied with 2 slices of bread that helped scoop of the broth and diced tomatoes. We split the rum to finish. It’s more like a bread than a cake. We only could finish 1/3 of this! Service was great as Danielle was very attentive and yet she juggled her other guests with respect and efficiency.

Fine food but challenging evening. Long wait for table not requested. Then requested Jennifer a professional waitress we’ve enjoyed many times before. Nope. Then not choice of table in full sun(blinding @times). We waited to order. We waited for appetizer. Then our food arrived and no one cleared the dirty plates from starter & bread. Our waitress was waiting on customers as they waited for tables in the lounge area. She disappeared way too many times too long. We are regulars and eat here a lot. Yes, disappointed!

Came in for a special occasion and had friends there to and yet had to ask for items multiple times, food only ok and yet wasn’t asked, instead we got a sales pitch from a realtor/our waiter and his card. Bill was incorrect too.

Cocktails are NOT “crafted” One of us got a Bloody Mary which had no Garnish and plain table salt in the rim; I ordered a Paloma in a short glass and it was $22.00. The Ritz needs some new Bartenders if they think they serve Craft Cocktails!
