Jackson's Bistro and Bar LC - Tampa

Service was not good. No introduction, no recommendations, nothing. It was so awkward. The food has the price tag of more of a fine dining restaurant but absolutely not the quality. We didn't finish the sushi because it tasted like publix sushi and was fishy, the wings came out with sauce all over the sides of the plates and was quickly set down at the table. The operation as a whole appeared to be an unprofessional, untrained staff with sub-par food and a higher price tag because of the location. We actually left and went to another restaurant to order main courses because the service and experience was so poor.

I didn’t realize they no longer had the brunch buffet. So we were a little disappointed when we sat at our table. The food was still good though. Service was very good too.

Our waiter Daniel was outstanding. However, rather loud. My wife had the skirt steak very dry and tough.

Not sure if the issue was with our server or the kitchen or a mixture of both but we ordered a half dozen oysters for a starter that never came and we had to ask about after receiving our mains. Then our main was missing the main ingredient that we were sold on the lobster butter limb crab on grouper, which after we told the server was brought out separate a good while after we were done with that entree. At the end we did get everything after multiple asks but it just seemed like disorganized service

Food was great and the server was super attentive. Great location.
