    Far too noisy, with competing music from 2 venues. Dreadful atmosphere as a result. Food excellent and service very good but completely spoilt by a poor ambience.

    Went on a rainy day but was still able to eat outdoors since it’s covered! Very nice by the water ambiance. Gnocchi was amazing and filling. Truffle fries were really good. Coconut shrimp was yummy but not the best bang for your buck because they were a little small for the price. Will definitely be going back. Nice area to walk by the boats after dinner

    Food is always exceptional, but this time it took very long time to get service and food even though they were very slow. Too long for weekday lunch break

    It was my mother's bday and the food was very good. The only thing is the bacon was chewy. We asked for crispy bacon and they gave us literally burnt bacon. We had to ask for another set, which still came out chewy. So they don't know how to make the bacon crispy. Other than that the chicken & waffles is a 10. Always a nice vibe and get good pics out in front of the yachts. Waitress sung my mom a Happy Birthday. We had a good time
    Jackson's Bistro Bar & SushiResponded on June 3, 2025
    Thanks for the review, Athena! We're thrilled to hear that your mother's birthday celebration at Jackson's Bistro Bar & Sushi was a success. We're sorry to hear about the issue with the bacon and appreciate your patience. We're always striving to improve and your feedback helps us do that. We're glad you enjoyed the chicken & waffles and the vibe of our restaurant. We hope your birthday celebration was a memorable one and we look forward to serving you again soon.

    Love how it came out after the renovation beautiful view outside I still feel like the inside needs to look a little better because it feels a little bit like a hotel at times, but the outside view is unbeatable

    Thank you for the 5 Stars! Inside upgrades are coming. Stay tuned. We look forward to seeing you again soon!

    Dined on a Friday night and nearly everyone in the restaurant was under 30 years old…and drunk or stoned, shouting and dropping F bombs every other sentence. Sad, because the food, service and view were fantastic.
