    This was probably the best pairing I have ever experienced and I’ve experienced quite a few. I would rate everything as a 10+… The food was superb, atmosphere, service and the dinner pairing experience itself was a great value. I would definitely attend more if they were offered.

    This was our second visit to Jackson’s Bistro and it did not disappoint. The food and beverage quality and presentation shows the pride of the establishment from the front and back of the house united to put the customer’s interests at the center. What a level of hospitality! Well done! We will be back soon!

    Beautiful setting. Food was above average, but overpriced. That’s what you get when you sit waterside, though. Service extremely slow, but friendly

    The food was fresh and delicious. Sushi was fabulous and the brunch waffles and avocado toast were also very yummy. Our server was delightful and the weather was perfect sitting outside! We always have a consistently wonderful experience at this local favorite!

    Service was not good. Food was okay, server was not attentive. Brought steak with no steak knife and disappeared for 20+ minutes. Dropped napkins on the table and a bottle of beer, no glass even though one was requested. Food was mediocre at best. May be a good place to have a drink on the patio, but won’t be going back for a meal.
