   Excellent but very expensive. Beautiful view of the sunset water and boats.

   The food and and service was outstanding. The mixed seafood grill which consisted of oysters, shrimp, scallops and a lobster tail was absolutely amazing. We will be back.

   Despite a number of large holiday parties around us, we had a lovely table and were able to have quiet conversation. The food was delicious and very plentiful. I'd strongly suggest the grouper Oscar. Just delectable! The crab bisque was also very good. Service is attentive and gracious. Drinks were very good as well. A beautiful setting for a lovely evening. Not an inexpensive night bit will surely go again.

   We had a lovely lunch overlooking the marina. Although the majority of tables were not occupied, our waiter though polite, was not very attentive. He did not come to check on us once we were served. When I asked for mustard instead of the ketchup that was served with the meal, the whole bottle of mustard was set down - quite crude. Our water glasses were never refilled. For the cost of our lunch, I expected better, more polished service. Perhaps a “customer service refresher” course could be offered to the wait staff.

   We love eating at Marina Jack, so it was an easy choice to book this restaurant for Thanksgiving. We booked a reservation for 7:15 pm, and were seated promptly at a table near the window. So far, so good. We went to the buffet to have our appetizers. There was a lovely display of salad items, and we couldn't pass up the cooked shrimp with cocktail sauce and raw oysters! When we went back for dinner, we were very disappointed. They had run out of dark turkey meat, and cranberry sauce! Who runs out of cranberry sauce? We each were served 1 slice of white meat turkey (which was very moist and tasty), and some of us had the prime rib which was only fair in terms of taste (not sure if it was the cut of meat). Then for dessert, there was no traditional pie (ie: pumpkin or pecan), only a square of chocolate cake (very tasty) and some white cake. The waitress apologized about running out of food and dessert, and she brought us a piece of key lime pie and a piece of cheesecake which was very nice of her. We had invited friends to join us because, in the past, we had had Thanksgiving dinner at Marina Jack, but not when it was a buffet and it was excellent. We were a bit embarrassed bringing them there, especially with a $75 price tag, plus a tagged on gratuity charge. We will probably not have Thanksgiving there again, but will go there for regular dinners.
