Great service. Went for my husband’s birthday and they gave us a nice table by the window. Friendly staff. The food was excellent a very delicious, except I would’ve preferred less zucchini and more of other vegetables on my side dish. They also brought a bowl of sorbet with a candle for his birthday. Will definitely go back.

This was our first, but not last trip to Jack’s. The food was very good and we loved the service from Mario. The lobster ravioli was delicious - the saffron sauce outstanding. Can’t wait to go back.

My husband and I had a fantastic experience at Jack’s. The meatball appetizer was splendid. My husband opted for a perfect filet mignon while I enjoyed gnocchi with chicken. Nice portions and very flavorful. The homemade cheesecake was silky smooth - the perfect way to end the meal. Christopher, our server, was personable and attentive. The restaurant is well maintained and I love that the owner, Jack himself, is on site making sure everything flows.
