Best Fine Dining Restaurants in Pensacola

We were delighted with our wonderful dining experience at Jackson’s today. As usual, the food was exquisite and perfectlhy prepared and presented. The hostess is lovely and we enjoyed seeing her again. I am sorry that I don’t know her name. Amanda, our waitress, was charming and attentive and professional. We are so pleased that we have this fine restaurant in Pensacola.

This was our second time visiting. We sat at the (drink) bar. Nice spot instead of the outside table we had reserved (too cold). The hostess made the suggestion as an option to switch seat locations when we checked in which we appreciated. We had a couple of drinks, cheese plate, duck & pork chop entrees, a piece of icebox pie, and after dinner drinks. The value was very good for the qualify of food and drinks. The bartenders were pleasant and busy. The cheese plate was generously sized and pork chop was very hearty. Not a lot of duck for entree but tons of Brussel sprouts. We would go back any time. Treat yourself and give it a try.

We truly enjoyed our Christmas dinner! The house focaccia bread was delicious! The Chicken Parmesan and fried spaghetti egg was spectacular! My hubby got a brick oven pizza and there wasn’t a crumb insight. The Cabernet and Lemontini were the perfect dinner companions! Can’t wait to dine here again!!! Great service, beautiful ambiance and amazing food!

Had a wonderful Christmas Eve paella. The saffron rice had a nice crust and was filled with clams, mussels and shrimp. The dollops of aioli finished it nicely. The reserve Rioja was perfect with it. Our server was personable and professional, a great combination. After give a shout out to the bar tenders at Sister Hen. They were absolutely slammed but made those of us at the bar feel like we were the only ones there. As we waited for our table, time flew as we watched them artfully make one cocktail after another. And finally, a shout out about the pan con tomate we had as our starter. That’s worth a trip just for it. So simple but the garlicky toast with the chopped tomatoes was just perfection.

The atmosphere, the service, and the food was all amazing. They did not rush us out even being Christmas Eve. Always a great meal.
