    Our family of 9 had dinner last night for my husbands 65th birthday. The service was amazing for our large party, food amazing and the desserts off the charts. I love this place for the view as well as the ambience. Thank you for making his birthday special

    Service was extremely slow... and they were not busy at all, so no excuse. We waited almost 40 min for our lunch to be served. And when it finally came, both of our orders were incorrect! Our server did his best to remedy the situation but, unfortunately after waiting so long for our food, to have to wait again for a corrected order was not a good option. What a disaapointment!

    First time at Marina Jack, and it was a little disappointing. The charcuterie board was okay (prosciutto was tough), and the tomato bisque soup was pretty good. Our entrees of Grouper Oscar were good, but lacking in seasoning and not very hot at all. On the positive side, all the courses on the main entree plate - grouper, crab meat, garlic mashed potatoes, and asparagus were plentiful and fresh. Good but really expected more for the price and prime location.

    Love Marina Jack's - views and atmosphere for me - and great food for my husband! Plus, they have a variety of dining experiences. We are partial to Marina Jack's as we had our wedding reception here.

    The views are wonderful. Service was particularly slow this evening, even beyond what a relaxed, leisurely pace would be. Food was mixed. Some dishes, like the Red Snapper, were excellent. The curry mussels had an amazing sauce, but there were mussel shell fragments in it. Thankfully, large enough to realize once in your mouth, but still it was odd to have that. The Grand Marnier cake was delicious. The creme brulee wasn't fully set. The hazelnut dessert was good Overall, a mixed experience. The view is always a huge plus and helps compensate for other things

    Food and service was great. I had the prime rib which was done to perfection and my wife had the sea scallops. Andre and his time provided excellent service! I highly recommend Marina Jack!
