Jackson’s Steakhouse, located adjacent to the heart of downtown Ft. Lauderdale on sophisticated Las Olas Boulevard, carries on the tradition of the great American steakhouses. Jackson’s is reminiscent in style of a private men's club with its rich mahogany paneling, high-beamed ceilings, brass trim, marble accents and warm fabrics. The spectacular setting befits the classic steakhouse menu. All steaks and chops are USDA Prime, the Maine lobster and the seafood are always the freshest and generous in size. The milk-fed veal dishes offer a lighter entree for those so inclined. The beefsteak tomato with sliced Vidalia onion and the Caesar salad are favorites; while smoked salmon and fresh oysters, calamari and jumbo shrimp cocktails are always delicious starters. And, of course, save room for one of the house specialty fresh-made dessert souffles.
When you enter Jackson’s you pass through elegant polished brass doors and immediately are in a most comfortable cocktail lounge with live jazz, world-class cigar smoking and ice cold Martinis...shaken, not stirred. The environment is so relaxing that you may not want to leave, which is just fine, as you may dine either at the bar or at one of the smoker friendly lounge dining tables. If you prefer a non-smoking environment, you may pass by the private cigar and wine lockers and enter the dramatic main dining room with its beautiful artwork and vaulted ceiling. Here you have a choice of dining either in plush booths or at comfortable window tables with just the right intimacy for an important business dinner or romantic special occasion.
The world-class food and the restaurant’s interior magnificence are matched only by its warm, caring, professional service. “Professionals serving professionals” is the motto at Jackson’s with a commitment to exceeding everyone’s expectations every time!
