Editorial Review for Jackson's Bistro – by Alexander Thomas

The Scene
Jackson's has quickly become the after-work meeting place for many of the young movers and shakers in Tampa. The bistro usually has no trouble filling the house and then some, so go early or go late, and avoid the in-between time if you're just looking for a meal.

The Food

Dinner entrees are served with panache. Try the duck quesadilla, escargot and shiitake mushrooms in phyllo dough, or baked Brie with strawberries. Other main dishes feature pastas (usually with chicken, seafood or duck), poultry, fish and meats (most oak-grilled). Pizzas are simple, tasty options if you just can't decide what to order.

Insider Tips

What to Drink

Enjoy the amaretto as an aperitif next door on the open dance floor or out on the patio, where there's usually live entertainment.

been to jackson's many times in the past few years. brunch is my favorite time to go, can't beat the spread for under $20. friday night's is a little ridiculous if you try to go for a nice evening; it turns into a club-type scene for those "north of kennedy" folk. most other nights are a steady crowd of decent people, minus the losers and cougars... also, for priding themselves on being a high-class restaurant, they need to get a better handle on their hostess/seating situation.

Pros: brunch on the water, parking garage

Cons: trashy crowd on friday nights, little overpriced but a very beautiful spot to dine.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

The best brunch in Tampa. Sit outside with the beautiful view & enjoy a mimosa while you eat a great selection of food. Our place for all special afternoon occassions.

Pros: water view

Cons: parking
