Best Date Night Restaurants in Gulf Breeze

We were delighted with our wonderful dining experience at Jackson’s today. As usual, the food was exquisite and perfectlhy prepared and presented. The hostess is lovely and we enjoyed seeing her again. I am sorry that I don’t know her name. Amanda, our waitress, was charming and attentive and professional. We are so pleased that we have this fine restaurant in Pensacola.

This was our second time visiting. We sat at the (drink) bar. Nice spot instead of the outside table we had reserved (too cold). The hostess made the suggestion as an option to switch seat locations when we checked in which we appreciated. We had a couple of drinks, cheese plate, duck & pork chop entrees, a piece of icebox pie, and after dinner drinks. The value was very good for the qualify of food and drinks. The bartenders were pleasant and busy. The cheese plate was generously sized and pork chop was very hearty. Not a lot of duck for entree but tons of Brussel sprouts. We would go back any time. Treat yourself and give it a try.

We truly enjoyed our Christmas dinner! The house focaccia bread was delicious! The Chicken Parmesan and fried spaghetti egg was spectacular! My hubby got a brick oven pizza and there wasn’t a crumb insight. The Cabernet and Lemontini were the perfect dinner companions! Can’t wait to dine here again!!! Great service, beautiful ambiance and amazing food!

Great place in downtown Pensacola. Always a good meal, good service, and good ambience.

Fantastic dining across all culinary areas. Our waiter explained the menu in detail to include information outside the menu applicable to our meal. Chef’s attention to detail, creativity, and taste were impeccable! The chef also took time to visit our table asking for our feedback and offering a test dessert for the upcoming holiday. Lastly, the flavors and taste of each aspect of our meal courses were exquisite! The wagyu beef was sensational, cooked perfectly with its heavy fatty-meat transition. Very tasty flavor hints within the fluffed garnish greens and overlapping the avocado slices in the lobster-shrimp salad were a very nice touch! The Bonsai is a unique high-end Japanese sushi restaurant that caters to a niche palate and wallet. I highly recommend Bonsai to visitors of Pensacola and the beach looking for a unique classy flavorful dining venue!
