Marina Jack - Sarasota, Florida

3 restaurants in 1. There’s one on the mezzanine to the left , then one of on the deck by waterfront. Marina Jack in on the upper floor by the water front. Very nice !
Marina’s Jack offers the dinner and better quality menu. Service ladies were excellent. I had the red snapper that was not whole. I didn’t really enjoyed the snapper but the other food was good. The place is busy for dinner. Not much public parking so the valet service they offer helps.

We ate lunch at the blue sunshine patio bar & grill on a Tuesday and had a great time. I ordered the nacho appetizer as my meal and they were the best nachos I’ve had in my life! My husband ate the grouper sandwich, which was good too. There’s a big area for outdoor seating, although when we left around 1pm, there were quite a few people waiting for tables- I recommend coming for an early lunch because of this. Eating on the covered patio in the 70 degree sunny weather was so enjoyable. The waitress was also prompt and friendly. Plus, the park nearby is quiet and relaxing. Definitely would come back here.

I recently took a Marina Jack II dinner cruise and was pleasantly surprised! While I went in with modest expectations for the food, it turned out to be enjoyable. The prime rib was well cooked, and the salad was fresh. Although the dessert wasn’t particularly memorable (it felt like it may have been frozen cake), the overall dining experience was satisfying. Dessert consists of Chocolate cake, Key lime pie, and raspberry cake.

But the real highlight was the cruise itself—the views were absolutely stunning, and the boat was well-maintained and comfortable. For a relaxing time on the water with decent food, this cruise is a solid choice. I’d definitely consider going again!

Outdoor areas on both top and bottom deck.

We had a truly glorious day on the water with Marina Jack. Minimal but very good food line included salad, rolls, veggies, yellow rice, chicken and an excellent poached salmon. Can't forget the key lime pie & assorted cakes as well. Travelled under the Lido bridge along bird island out just to the gulf and back. Will return next time thru Sarasota

This is definitely a hidden gem. The view and food is really good. I had the nachos, blackened mahi and clam chowder. Definitely like the outside seating and will be back for sure.

Came here with friends this evening.

First, service was perfect.

The Mrs enjoyed her salmon and I thought my pork chop was ok, just not special.

The crab cakes and group were reported as very good.

My tomato basil was really nice.

A heads up that this is an expensive place. Parking is limited and i would think that valet is recommended.

All in all, a good place.

GABRIELLE was absolutely amazing! We did the sunset cruise on 2/16/25 and we couldn’t have asked for better service. He came with a smile and a sense of humor. He truly made the night unforgettable. It was our first time and we will definitely be back in hopes he’s our server again. He was quick to service us and make sure we were taken care of our entire trip. He’s definitely an asset to Marina Jacks and we hope he gets recognition for this.

Went out on a sunset dinner cruise with buffet of prime rib, salmon, vegetables, scalloped potatoes, and dessert! Wonderful time out with neighbors. Beautiful sunset too.
