    We have been here before. Much more satisfied with our prior visit. Not impressed with the fact after just getting our appetizers our entrees showed up. Seriously? We felt rushed. The restaurant was not that full. By the time we finished our appetizers and started on the entrees the fries were cold. Not pleasant. Our server knocked over my drink. I have bartended before. You would think some sort of gratuity would have been extended. Nope. Probably our last visit there.

    We always eat here when we’re in Tampa. And always outside overlooking the water. Good food and good service and a short walk from our downtown hotel.

    Outstanding food, great view, excellent service. We ate outside for lunch on a weekday in late March, so it was extremely peaceful and we loved facing the marina. Everyone in our party was very happy with their meal and the service!

    We reserved an outside table for dinner post-Tampa Bay Lightning afternoon game. We were seated right away and had a very nice meal with good service. Jackson's is our "go to" before and after Amalie Arena events and concerts.
