    This used to be my favorite brunch spot in Sarasota. The Sunday brunch has deteriorated significantly, everything was spread out to look like it was more than it was. No more vegetables, meats & cheeses, minimal pastries, service was lacking.

    Cindy was a very personable and fabulous server. Very sweet, explained what we were eating and told us a nice story about how the restaurant got named. The hostess had three different ladies working it and it seemed very unorganized. We arrived early for our reservation and didn’t get seated until 15 minutes after. My husband had to get up twice and go check with them. She said they would text my phone, but they tried to call it but never left a message or a text. None of them smiled nor seemed like they like their job. Love the music out on the patio and enjoyed a cocktail before our seafood tower, which was delicious.

    They charged a $150pp for prix fixe Valentines Experience dinner. Yet in the ballroom right next to the dining room was the booming DJ music of a wedding for most of the night. A girl hired to play violin at tables was barely audible over the din. Really bad planning by the hotel, given the venue has many other ballrooms, and the price charged for the 3-course “experience”. Not something to experience again.

    Nice corner table, very pleasant server. New items added were sushi rolls… expensive but good. Sushi appetizer arrived in a reasonable time. Drinks served a bit slow, but acceptable for a busy night. Both of us had dinner salads (lobster Cobb salad and Caesar salad with grilled shrimp)… It took about 40 minutes for the salads to arrive. The lettuce/greenery in both salads was wilted. The lobster was cold and mixed into Cobb salad. The lobster was cooked ok, but not “freshly prepared”… The Romaine lettuce in the Caesar salad was “tired”, but the grilled shrimp were warm and fresh. However, waiting 40 minutes for this disappointing meal was very unusual vs other excellent experiences we have had at Jack Dusty’s.l The food and beverage manager randomly stopped by our table and asked about our food and service. I was completely honest and told them about our food & wait time. Our entire dinner, including drinks was immediately “comped” and we were told with an apology there were “issues” inside the kitchen. We would return to Jack Dusty’s, but hope they resolve staff / kitchen issues soon. Jack K.

    Overwhelmingly loud.. kitchen was backed up so we finally got our check around 8:45 from our 6:15 arrival. Maybe lunch is quieter, but never again for dinner

    The food was excellent, but prices are extraordinarily high and portions are small. I used to love their nuts with a drink, and now they switched to unsalted cashews, which were tasteless. We were there on a Saturday night and the noise level was very high . The ambience outside is lovely .
