    I have say, we were disapointed. It just wasnt the same when we went to Jacksons a year or so ago, we will not be making the 1 hr long drive in the future for our special occasion. Waiter was friendly, just slow. It was not romantic at all. Sorry guys you lost a loyal customer.

    We were seated on time for our reservation. Our server never appeared for almost 20 minutes. Drinks then took over 15 more minutes. He took our food orders after an hour passed. He was so confused serving the dishes getting people’s orders mixed up. 6 pieces of fish were so rubbery and sent back. They were replaced and still not edible. The manager comped our meals where we paid for drinks, which was the proper thing to do. We have enjoyed this place many times in the past but this was just awful. Both the kitchen and service was very off.

    We decided to go to Jackson’s Bistro on our second date. The food was phenomenal!! We ordered the Coconut Grouper Bites for appetizers then we ordered the Poke Bowl and the grilled Salmon and both were delicious. The Salmon melted in your mouth with a hint of that grilled smoked taste. When we first arrived took an unexpected log time to be greeted by our server but the situation was readily resolved by the management and delivered one of the best servers along with complimentary drinks. I will go back again!

    Absolutely outstanding!!! Food was amazing. Joe was our server and we had a wonderful time! He was very attentive to all six of us... We had a reservation for 11.. waited in line for about 20 minutes to be seated..A tad bit long for the food to come out... but we were not in a rush and Joe took good care of us and checked in with us often. The food was delicious. I had the crab cake Eggs Benedict.. YUM!!! My husbands Bourbon Pancakes were amazing!!! We had a wonderful Father's Day Brunch! So happy! My son, Daughter-in-law and two grands....and well as my husband and I all live on Harbor Island....So happy we have a good spot for good food. Thank you!!
