Jacksons Restaurant + Bar

I came here for Mother's Day Brunch and they had set us up in a ballroom at the hotel. Everything was a good enough quality, but nothing was great. Considering the price of $55 per person, I'm certain it could have been better. I'll walk you through each "station" that they had setup for the brunch. Salad and Soup: I tried the Caesar and the Pear Gazpacho. The salad was fine, but the croutons in the salad were soggy. My wife compared the gazpacho to pear apple sauce, which wasn't too far off from true, my son loved it. Desert: They had assorted cookies, cakes, cheeses, and fresh fruits. I tried the macaroons and they didn't have the proper mouth feel of a quality French macaroon. Also I was annoyed because they had a tub of butter on the table with the "assorted cheeses". I thought it must be Marscapone or some other soft cheese. Imagine my surprise... Chicken and Waffles: The chicken seemed to be frozen chicken tenders, the waffles were soggy, I doubt the maple syrup was real. Carving (Ham, Lamb, and Prime Rib): The ham was just terrible. Dry, overcooked, and no seasoning. Lamb is one of my favorite meats, but the lamb that they had out was clearly overcooked. I asked if they could find me a medium piece, and they tried. I would say it was more medium well than medium, but it was serviceable. Unfortunately it was under seasoned and there was no sauce to accompany it. Also the slices were comically thin. Frittata: My wife ordered an omelette from this station and it was perhaps the best thing that we ate. Other: There was a table in the middle that had Green Beans, Sausage, Bacon, Potatoes, Salmon, and Chicken. I found the bacon to be highly disappointing, it was super thin and quite overcooked. The chicken at this station was better than the chicken and waffles chicken, but not by much. My wife liked the salmon but I found it to be dry. Aside from the food, our service was lackluster as well. We were not met by anyone when we were seated at our table. After a few minutes, we decided to start helping ourselves to food items. Only after we finished our first plates and retrieved our drinks were we greeted by our server. She apologized for not coming to our table sooner and offered us refills on our drinks. We were a party of 3 and our table was uncomfortably small to be used for buffet service. We could not find a place to put our empty plates. The table cloth was too large for the table and we were stepping on it throughout the meal. In addition, whenever we would stand up from the table we would pull on the table cloth and spill our drinks all over the place because the table wasn't sturdy enough.

Amazing food and the staff is especially friendly. The chef came out and talked to us while we waited, he was super nice. It's a great experience the whole way.

We were seated in the dining room and were totally smoked out from (what smelled like ) a wood burning oven. This was our first visit to Jackson’s and our last. The 5 appetizers listed were odd; crab mac n cheese, Brussels sprouts ?? To …Hello s joy, Thank you for contacting us in regards to your most recent experience.
