    The food was amazing and server was prompt and prepared. However, we made a reservation for 7:00 and did not get seated until almost 8:00. The hostess was somewhat snarky about the wait and didn’t seem to care. There was no recognition from the manager or server that we waited almost an hour with a reservation. They need to figure out how to manage reservations much better or offer something to those who wait far longer than expected.

    I would recommend this restaurant. The food and service were excellent, but a bit pricey. We enjoyed the view of the marina and ocean with a really nice sunset. The room felt too bright and cavernous until it got dark and they dimmed the lights. Probably not best for an intimate romantic dinner. All that said, try it out.

    First time at Marina Jack's and ate in the elegant dining room overlooking the Bay. Cuisine was superior. Our calamari and mussels were outstanding and my partner had excellent Greek Salmon. We loved the homemade bread, the excellent sauces and the ambiance of the restaurant. Our waitor was EXTREMELY curt and almost nasty.. She informed us she knew what she was doing and had been there for 10 years...if I'd have been that nasty and hateful, I'd be fired.

    Frequenter to this restaurant. Tonight was not acceptable. Very high prices. Table water was horrible forcing us to buy bottled water- $8! Service was good. Food was not remarkable at all. I am stunned at the terrible experience.

    Our server, Laltesh, was apparently much more interested in selling drinks and appetizers than providing quality service for the included 20% tip for our party of 7. He would not announce the dinner specials until after appetizers were ordered. A member of our party was served chicken rather than the duck she ordered and had to wait for the correct dish to be prepared (and eventually served overdone) while the rest of us ate ours. We had to repeatedly ask for water refills. We have had several good dining experiences while in town for a business meeting; this was definitely not one of them.
