I went here for dinner when I was visiting out of town. Once I walked in I was seated right away. The servers and hostess were super nice! I ordered the Mixed Mushroom Pizza and the Baby Greens salad. The pizza was delicious and was soft and chewy. The vinaigrette on the salad was perfectly light and tangy. I want to come back to try more off their menu.

Always have a very friendly staff! Love that the servers work together-greeting diners, busing each other's tables, checking in; without concern that it isn't their assigned table! The lamb flatbfead was unique, a generous amount and delicious!! The ONLY drawback is that Jackson's practice (cleary stated on the bill) is to include tax on tne suggested tip amounts.This is not true of other restaurants. They do make a stellar Manhattan!

Jackson's NEVER disappoints! Their small plates and pizza really hit the spot after a long day of drinking. Having said that, we had a bottle of Vaughn Duffy Pinot Noir that opened out eyes to this producer in the Kenwood area. Big shout out to our server for recommending this fantastic wine to pair with our dinner.

I love this place specifically for the prosciutto pizza! We were in a mood for carbs and also ordered the bruschetta. It was a busy day so it took some time to get the bruschetta but it was worth it. Make reservations for Friday or weekend dinner and drinks because it is bustling and busy! Lots of chatter and lively atmosphere.

Stopped by here for drinks before dinner. We were able to walk in and snag a high top table in the bar area, Saturday night around 5pm. Hosted greeted us right away and brought us menus. The waitress came shortly after to take our order and checked in with us periodically. I ordered a whiskey sour, which is one of the best ones I've tasted in the Sonoma county area. I will definitely be coming back just for that drink.

Man this place is good! We've only been here once ages ago so we were happy to go by and try it again. It was super busy and the service was a bit slow but the staff was so friendly. We got the beet salad, mushroom pizza and shrimp skillet. It was all amazing but I'm still dreaming about the pizza and shrimp. To die for! The sauce with the shrimp was bomb! I could totally eat just that as a meal! We will get back as soon as we can. Highly recommend!!

Jackson's is always a good choice when my husband and I can't decide on where to go. We've never had a bad experience. Almost always, we split the Caesar salad, truffle fries, and their sausage pizza. Tonight was no different. We came on a busy Saturday evening without reservations but were pleased to have been seated right away. The restaurant is large with a lot of seating, including an upstairs area and another large area on the opposite side of their bar. We love to be seated near their incredible wood-fired pizza oven- it's such a thing of beauty. I love that their kitchen is open and viewable to everyone. We were greeted kindly by a lovely server we've had numerous times, I really should get her name. Having mentioned that we'd like to share the Caesar, the kitchen kindly split it on to two plates for us. Their Caesar is wonderful- full leaves of romaine, delicious dressing, and tasty seasoned croutons. They brought our truffle fries (and absolute must) shortly after, which come with a lemon aioli and ketchup. These truffle fries are just downright amazing. So many other places advertise "truffle fries" but end up having very little truffle flavor. Not at Jackson's, they have a great amount of truffle flavor and the lemon aioli is so good. Their pizzas are always great- it was because of Jackson's that my husband and I discovered the newest love of our lives: goat horn peppers. Their sausage pizza includes them and after we'd had it several months ago, we were able to locate some for sale at a local grocery store and we've been hooked ever since. Food is always top-notch, service is very friendly and attentive. Cocktails and wine selection are always on point. I'll always recommend this place.

The food was great. I had 2 appetizers. Brussels sprouts and the Burratta. It was pricey for one, but you could get 3 appetizers for two and it would be just right. My server was fabulous! Ambiance was perfect and it has an old bar too. The problem is the hostess. Her hair looked like she hadn't brushed it in a week. Her clothes were falling off of her. She was not wearing shoes or they are sock-shoes. She looked very disheveled. She did not represent the restaurant well. If I was her boss, I would have sent her home with instructions on what hygiene, clothing and clothes are acceptable.

I have been coming to this restaurant for at least 9+years, and all I can say is they have one of the best happy hours. They have a margarita flatbread on the happy hour menu and Zoe's pepperoni flatbread, one of my all-time favorites. Recently, they added the juicy Lucy to the happy hour menu, and now I can't go there without ordering both because they're so good! All their pizzas are delicious, though. The happy hour menu and almost everything there are worth your time. The hot wings are amazing also on the happy hour menu. They brine the chicken, which is juicy, but the outside is super crispy and crunchy; so good! If you want to hit happy hour, sit in the bar area. You can sit at the little tables, which I believe are only three, maybe four, and then you'll have to sit at the bar for the rest. The bar is a good size but fills up quickly, especially during happy hour. The service here has always been excellent. They take your order and ensure you have everything you need. I couldn't ask for more than that. Another thing I like about this restaurant is that I can order sparkling wine by the glass, and it's good sparkling wine. I usually get a glass of Roederer sparkling by the glass, but most places don't do that. But they also have J Vineyards sparkling. I believe it's the brut. They also have Burrata, which is shipped in from Italy. Unfortunately, that's not on the happy hour menu, but you must try it. The mozzarella is fresh and creamy. You get little breadsticks to run through it. It's covered in pistachios and honey, and it's delicious. Everybody loves it. It has to be one of the most popular items. They also made craft cocktails. I've had some in the past right now. I'm pretty much only a wine drinker, and this place makes me very happy as far as that goes. The ambiance is sort of hip and Modern, a little bit dark, but it does tend to be a bit noisy, but I don't care about that cause I can be a little noisy myself. Lol, the prosciutto pizza is delicious, too. Also, it's not on the happy hour menu, so it's super tasty. I'm sorry there are so many pictures, but like I said, I've been coming here for years. If you haven't tried Jackson's, you need to get on down here because I'm telling you you're gonna love everything. Cheers my friends and SYOY 11/14/24
