    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!

    Excellent restaurant!! We truly enjoyed our meals there. The cocktails were great. The Maple Bourbon Glazed Pork Chop was delicious! Cooked exactly how I like it and was hot when it arrived to my table (which is important to me). The sides - garlic potatoes and green beans were delicious. Rolls were great. Most of all our server was fantastic!! Thank you Gabbie for treating us with the utmost respect and being top notch. We truly appreciated your excellence in serving. The atmosphere was simple, yet amazing with excellent views.

    I have no complaints, we had found parking and we were seated quickly. My filet was perfectly cooked and very good! The service was outstanding by Gabby and the boats with Christmas lights were an awesome view from our table. We were given birthday key lime desserts for my husband and his twin brother which was a nice touch! Well make this a regular Bday spot.

    There were 9 of us in our party, so we started w/the calamari & Lobster Cargo, both of which were amazing. 6 people ordered either strip steak or the filet, all perfectly cooked!! And we ordered 2macadamia ice cream pie, 2 chocolate marchesa & 1 turtle cheesecake! All were delicious!!! Our waiter, Letfish, was fabulous!

    We often eat at Marina Jack's. One of our favorites. The food, service and ambience are great. A table over looking the bay and a great glass of wine make for an enjoyable evening. The Osters Rockefeller are delicious and the martinis ice cold. Great night out!

    This restaurant is extremely overrated. It’s massive and some people talk about it and mention it like it’s an institution but it was a big disappointment. They were not interested in serving guests a decent amount before it closed. Even when other guests were there, a band and being before close. Service wasn’t good at all and the bartender almost couldn’t be bothered to help guests. Bar chairs are seated way too low, making it less comfortable and food was just okay. Wouldn’t go back. So many other great places nearby. Would avoid if you’re looking for a good meal and service
