1. Bayside Dining Room at Marina Jack

Good food and romantic atmosfeer.
For the price of $108 (kinda pricey) for two we had prime rib and broiled salmon with rice and veggy, salad and choice of 3 cakes.Food tastes good. But you pay not just for the dinner, you pay for something you'll remember for a long time, not just a next restaurant you visited. Great atmosphere and nice sunset + great pictures will make this trip memorable and enjoyable for a long time. P.S. Don't forget to buy a bottle of wine to enjoy.

We are an english couple with a second home in Bradenton. Our first port of call when we arrive is Marina Jack's. Great food and service, reasonably priced wines. Fabulouse views over the marina. Our favourite restaurant in sarasota.

One of the few restaurants on the water
This is a great restaurant for the view however, the food is mediocre and the drinks are over priced.

Horrible tourist trap
This restaurant exists only because it is on the water. There is absolutely zero talent or knowhow in the kitchen. Cocktails in the bar, fine - I highly suggest you leave it at that.

Try the chopped chicken livers in mushroom gravy...... excellent... and at lunch, a great value.

I've been vacationing in Sarasots for more than 20 years and every year we find it impossible to better the Marina Jacks experience. This year I'm coming back as a Mom for the first time (with my own Mom too) and so a third generation of my family will be introduced to one of Sarasota's finest dining experiences.

I love eating @ Marina Jacks, the wait staff is pleasant and accommodating. Food is excellent as is the atmosphere. A wonderful place for business luncheon or just casual w/friends. I have frequented Marina Jacks since small child.
