   For the price we paid the service was lacking. We waited for our waiter several times and they never cleaned our table of used dishes. Our wait for our drinks was extraordinary long.

   Went back again this year to celebrate our 31st wedding anniversary and it did not disappoint. Everything was terrific!!! Had the boneless short rib and hubby had the salmon. They even gave us a slice of key lime pie to celebrate! Will definitely go back!!

   For a special occasion, this is the best place in Sarasota. We came here to celebrate a birthday and the service and food were outstanding. While a little pricey, it was worth it. Don’t leave without trying the macadamia ice cream pie!

   It was very nice, the food and drinks were excellent. The view is always spectacular, looking at the water and all the beautiful yachts. Our servers Christina and Diego were professional and very nice. Anytime we have friends here in Sarasota we love to share Marina Jack’s.

    We walked in with high expectations as this came highly recommended - the supervisor was not happy to see us or pleasant, I had requested a window table and they tried to sit us as far away from the window as possible. Once we requested the window table again - we were moved closer, but not on the same level as the windows. We ordered drinks, mine was too strong and my dining companion's was very weak. The waited didn't understand when I asked for it over the rocks and brought me three ice cubes to go with the drink. We ordered appetizers, the first the octopus was good, the second the goat cheese was very disappointing, then we ordered the fra diablo muscles . While we were waiting for them the supervisor came to ask if we already had our entrees because she wanted our table for a party of 13. This was rude - and made us feel like they didn't want us there. She could have simply offered us a drink or a dessert if we would move and we would have. It took over 30 minutes for our muscles to arrive and they were cold. We tried to find our waiter to alert him of this, but he was no where to be found - luckily we found our helpful busboy who went to find him. We alerted him that the muscles were cold and we would like our bill so we could leave - he did apologize and then disappeared for another extended period of time. Once he finally brought our bill he disappeared again not allowing us to pay the bill. We finally left cash and walked out. It was a lovely view. I would suggest you save your money or try one of the other venues at Marina Jack, DO NOT go to the restaurant on the second floor - they clearly do not value their customers or want to make sure they have a good experience.
