    Not bad, I got the short rib gnocchi which was pretty impressive my Girlfriend got the California Roll I believe and she said it was just okay. She wasn’t too impressed but not disappointed either. The service wasn’t bad it was just obvious that our server had a ton of tables it took quite a while to get refills but the server was nice and knowledgeable just definitely had a lot on his plate lol. Overall I’d say you should do it once but I don’t know if it’s for me all the time!

    Poor service tonight. And menu seemed more limited that usual.
    Jackson's Bistro Bar & SushiResponded 1 day ago
    There is never a good reason for poor service.. I will send you my contact information privately since that is the only way OpenTable allows me, but I would love clarification on the "seemed more limited" comment. I need to know what you are missing when we literally have 3 different menus in one restaurant. If there is something you are looking for we would love to hear about it.

    The menu has become extremely limited and they were out of certain items at the beginning of diner service hours. Use to be one of our favorite places to dine. We will not be returning. Very disappointing.
    Jackson's Bistro Bar & SushiResponded 1 day ago
    We definitely should not ever be out of a menu item. I will send you my contact information privately since that is the only way OpenTable allows me, but I would love clarification on the "extremely limited" comment.

    We had a great experience at Jackson's sitting outside. They have always been consistent with food and service. They have also done a great job improving the outdoor portion!!

    The food is excellent, service excellent, but if you end up outside on the left side, the music is very very loud.
