   We truly enjoyed the atmosphere, and the view from outside of the bay. The waiter and waitress staff were phenomenal. The brunch was absolutely delicious. I will be coming back to this restaurant.!

   Our main course (mahi-mahi) arrived at the same time as our soup. The food runner said he would take it back and make a fresh order. When our main course arrived the fish was so dry. The serving bowl was vey hot like it was sitting under a heat lamp. In my opinion the order was the first one the was delivered to the table and just kept hot. When we first seated there was no napkins or silverware. We ordered coconut shrimp. When it arrived still no napkins or silverware. We had to catch the hostess going by our table and ask for place settings. My soda was empty and the server said he would refill it for me. He must have forgot until he came back to check on us later. My daughter graduates college in May. My plan was to make reservations for my whole family for afterwards. Not sure I still plan on making those reservations.

   The Thanksgiving Day special was mediocre. The dark meat was shredded. The service was slow. The coffee was undrinkable.

   Got to the restaurant a little early. We went to the outside bar for a quick drink. Got to the table and were greeted by Luis. We had the turkey dinner. The portions were reasonable. A couple slices of white meat with a cranberry gravy was flavorful. Shredded dark meat. The meats were moist. The stuffing was outstanding. There were some roasted Brussel sprouts. They were good and on a celery root puree. Nice touch. We split a salad and each had a starter of butternut squash bisque. Everything tasted great and was worth the price. Our server was outstanding. Friendly, professional and he made us feel very welcome. Luis suggested a nice Chardonnay to accompany our meal. He was definitely one of the highlights of the evening.

    We were seated even though we showed up early. I had a hard time having a conversation over the music. 2 meals were good, 2 just ok. I didn't have high expectations for Thanksgiving. Server was great. Went there on a friend's recommendation but won't return

    I like Jacksons. The food is usually decent. Good service and view. The decor of the restaurant is in dire need of a makeover. It looks like 1994 and very dark inside. Needs a refresh.

    We really enjoyed our dinner! It was my birthday, so we had a lovely table and view of the waterfront. It was a bit chilly and we thought there might be heaters, but I guess this was an unusually chilly night and they may not have outdoor heaters. In any event, our server was Luis. He was very charming, pleasant, and very on point with everything including suggestions and info about the brunch on the weekends. The food was absolutely delicious and the cocktails were great. We will definitely be back and will ask to be seated in the area where he will be working!

    We went to Jackson’s for our Anniversary. The whole experience was great! We arrived a little earlier than our reservation and they were able to seat us right away. We went at 5:30pm and were the only diners inside the restaurant!! It was like we had the restaurant to ourselves! Next time, we will try sitting outside to watch the sunset. We will definitely go again!!

    The only thing that kept us from giving five stars was my and my husband's steak. He ordered his medium rare and it came out well done. While the server easily took it back, by the time the replacement steak arrived the remaining five of us were finished with our meals; and we do NOT eat quickly! My steak was overcooked as well, but not to the degree my husband's was. A third steak in our group was cooked correctly. One out of three is not acceptable for a restaurant of this caliber/price range.

    Great location horrible service took 40 minutes before we even got a waiter or waitress and we had to ask the hostess before that even happened my snapper wasn't at all what it said on the menu the food was just okay the snapper was also overcooked for a fancy place I've been to a lot of dive places that are better than this place

    I been a customer for a long time but lately I found the service had changed. Last week I had dinner reservation and also attended the Halloween party, we waited almost a hour to get our table but we was ok with the wait seating at the bar to have drinks, there was a lot of people and the barman looked like was stressed and couldn’t handle the volume, he was extremely rude with an attitude to serve us. I asked for a Mojito only but he understood we want water and a mojito, rudely went out the bar to get us water and throw the glass of mojito on the corner of the table I wasn’t sure if it was my order or someone else’s order then he brought the water and we said we never asked water he misunderstood, my fiancé said for him to relax, but the barman too it in a wrong way showing and attitude and upset face. I just couldn’t believe it… but I didn’t say anything or complained because I didn’t want to ruin our night. Also yesterday, we got an attitude from one of the hostess. We arrived a bit earlier from time of our reservation and we asked outdoor seating, I explain to the girl we were a little earlier more or less 45 min the girl said it was ok then another hostess closer to her took the lead and whispered on her gear and she look at us with an attitude and said would seat us when closer to the time of our reservation, told us to seat at the bar and have drinks… my fiancée got a little upset noticing her attitude and lots of table available outside and asked her why she couldn’t seat us right way? She said all that table were reserved, with we didn’t believe. Anyway, we went to the bar and he came back to the front again to ask for a table then she said would do her best to seat. All tables was still open outside. So finally after 25 min she called to say table was ready. An older customer like us, we are big spenders too, we don’t deserve to be treated like this. There is a lot of great places in Tampa to choose from we’re we can have better service

    Service was slow. Because we initially went to the bar and had drinks on the table, servers kept walking past assuming we’d been taken care of. After 20 minutes we had to flag someone down. Slow to take our order. Slow to refill drinks. Slow to clear plates. Slow to run our check. Restaurant was not very busy, lots of the wait staff standing around the hostess station. Food was good, had Mahi and a seafood tower, fairly reasonable price. Would come back for the view and the fresh seafood but be prepared for the slow.

    Visit to Tampa and Jackson Bistro recommended for seafood and good quality food. We started our meal with an appetizer calamari and was very disappointed right off the start. The drinks ordered was very disappointing. The calamari was none like we have had before we don’t even know how to describe. I ordered a half dozen of oysters and my husband ordered blackened swordfish as a special request. The oysters were so small that you had to scrape the shell to get very little oyster out and when my husband question the swordfish that did not look blackened it only looked grilled the server replied by saying I put the order in that’s all I can do. Very disappointed!
