Hear from our valued guests
Christina was the best server on our trip to Sarasota! We visit often and decided to venture over from Siesta Key. We had great steak and seafood and Christina recommended some wonderful dessert’s. We have been to that restaurant before, but our service tonight was the best yet!
On Sunday we had lunch at Marina Jack before going to a movie. Everything was perfect. The Poke Bowl was fresh, delicious and did not contain rice like many restaurants use as filler. The best in the area in my opinion. The service was first rate; attentive, polite, upbeat, and fast. And, of course, the views were fantastic.
We had a great meal at the Marina Jack Dining Room today. The food was delicious, service was excellent, the view of the Marina from the tall windows was so beautiful! Our waitress and a waiter, Christina and Diego were absolutely fantastic; they were very attentive and professional, friendly and personable, they made our time spent there very special. We’ll definitely come back again!
Fantastic place! Oysters Rockefeller was to die for! Caesar salad with mahi-mahi was perfect, hubs had a Caesar with grouper and loved it also. Such a beautiful setting, gorgeous view of the water and yachts. We took a stroll around on the docks and enjoyed the beautiful sights. We got there just before it opened - that's why it's empty in all my photos. The place was busy by 11:15
Came down for a short trip and wanted to take a boat ride to a local bar/restaurant. Have having a few snacks we hopped on one of the rental boats and headed to Salty Dog by water. Boat was super clean and ready to roll. We were met at the gas dock given a full run down and off we went. Check in and check out was super easy.
A few nights ago, my husband and I went to Marina Jacks! Waitress Cristina A was super accommodating! It was a beautiful scenic view !! The food was delicious we had the pasta dishes and she added on shrimp to mine and she made us decaf coffees since I’m pregnant and had turtle cheesecake, we enjoyed it very much! We definitely will be back :)
Date night at Marina Jack’s was a definite win. We started with drinks at the Deep Six Piano Bar and enjoyed the live piano music, then headed upstairs to the Dining Room for dinner with an incredible view of the sun setting over the water. The service was excellent. I appreciated the recommendations and just the right level of attentiveness. The menu covered all the bases without being overwhelming and the food itself was delicious (the charcuterie board, grouper Oscar, crispy snapper, and crème brûlée were all outstanding). The drinks were fantastic as well with a wide variety of cocktails and wines on the menu. I can say with certainty we’ll be back!
Great food and excellent atmosphere. Service was good as well. The view makes for a great experience. A little expensive but overall worth experiencing.
Our experience at Marina Jack’s was exceptional, thanks to Christina and Diego, who truly went above and beyond. From the start, they offered great recommendations, and every single one met—and exceeded—our expectations. We enjoyed the Reuben, Thai chicken sandwich, seafood roll, calamari (not pictured) and the seafood chowder, all of which were fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. Even the sweet raspberry tea was a standout. Their knowledge of the menu, attention to detail, and seamless teamwork made the entire dining experience effortless and enjoyable. Christina and Diego delivered outstanding hospitality, turning a beautiful waterfront meal into a memorable experience. We’ll absolutely be back and will be sure to ask for them again.
We had a fantastic experience at Marina Jack main dining room! Our server Diego was a huge part of what made our experience so great. He was one of the kindest and warmest servers we’ve ever had. He even treated us to a free dessert at the end of our meal for our anniversary. The food was exceptional, as well as the view. Even though we were not seated directly next to a window we had a great view of the sunset over the water. We would highly recommend this restaurant for your special occasions.
