We had a fantastic evening at Angelina’s to celebrate my sister-in-law’s birthday. We ordered the fried artichoke hearts and oven roasted olives for the table to share. The olives are always a must and now we have begun ordering the artichokes with the delicious dipping sauce. My brother-in-law ordered a wood fired oven pizza as his main and it was cooked perfectly. Mis sister-in-law ordered the pasta sampler, and while each dish was cooked perfectly and was extremely tasty it is a lot of food. To go bag was required. I enjoyed the “majn” entree pasta with meatballs with the spicy Calabrian pepper sauce. It was incredible, very flavorful if you enjoy spicy food. We highly recommend the lemontini martini as well. The cannelonis and limoncello pie for dessert were to die for. But to top our evening off, our young enthusiastic waiter Berkeley made our evening extra special. He was extremely attentive and read our personalities well as we cut up with him a good bit of the evening. We agreed that a somber inattentive waiter can ruin an evening, Berkeley made ours over the top special with lots of laughter. Ask for him on your next visit. Hats off to Angelina’s for a great dining experience.

We dined here for Valentine’s Day 2025 and I was pleasantly surprised. The restaurant is tucked back behind the road which is why I’d never seen it. It was really busy since it was Valentine’s Day- but we still didn’t wait too long. Maybe 10 or 15 minutes. We had reservations obviously. My husband was upset because people who just came in were seated before we were but I think they were probably waiting outside. The waitress seated us outside when we had asked to be inside. There was a heater and a tent and it was a relatively nice evening so we didn’t complain. Maybe we should have. Hubby was seated by the outer wall of the tent and he said he was cold. They had a fixed prix menu which looked good but when we discovered we didn’t have to order off of it, neither of us did. I appreciated that. I prefer to have personal choice. They don’t have bread for the table and we were super hungry. So I thought I’d order a soup. They don’t offer that either. We might have ordered an appetizer but the waiter didn’t suggest one and rushed off. So we just sat there being hungry until our food came. Food was quick coming to the table but I found out why. I had a crab legs boil (they were plentiful and good) but the corn and potatoes were ice cold. I didn’t complain because the crab was good and I was hungry. No bread remember. Hubby had shrimp scampi and he liked it. We chose the brownie dessert & it was plentiful & good. The prices were reasonable and was only about $100. The only fly in my ointment was that they marked us a no show on OpenTable. Maybe because it was crowded and they sent us a text for seating which I didn’t read and went to the desk and was seated right away. Later I saw that I was marked a no show and went to read the text and it said hit the 1 button If you’re here. Which I didn’t do. But that doesn’t mean I wasn’t there. Hopefully that will get straightened out. That’s probably why I included all the negatives. 5 stars.

It was another perfect night at Jackson’s in Pensacola! My husband and I had an early Valentine’s dinner and were lucky to get Matt, who was full of natural energy and so helpful, as our server. We had delicious steaks, mashed potatoes and shared a Caesar salad, but my favorite was the bread and butter and the dessert—I can’t remember the name, but it had toffee and Chantilly cream—but it was truly heavenly—thanks to Matt’s recommendation! Jackson’s is one of our favorites, and you must try if you are in Pensacola.

One of our favorite restaurants in Pensacola to dine. This evening did not disappoint. We were seated at a bar high top as requested. Server was quick to take our drink order. Excellent Woodford old fashion and very entertaining to watch the amazing mixologists prepare drinks. Korean wing appetizer is delicious but a bit messy. Hangar steak was yummy as were the scallops either risotto. Short rib was also a winning entree. Portions are generous and sides are always very tasty!!

Dinner was excellent (fried green tomatoes and crab appetizer, ribeye steaks and grits, crème brûlée and cherry bread pudding for dessert, tawny port and rose, unsweetened tea and coffee). Jessica did a great job as our waitress. The music was a bit odd. The furniture on the lower level was new and comfortable. The chairs, however, could not be easily brought close to the table which made seating my wife and myself awkward. Valet parking was excellent. It is covered and you will never get wet, even in a monsoon. It is a great feature of this restaurant.
