Whether you’ve never been or are craving a return visit, now is the perfect time to plan your next reservation.
Starting August 16, 2024, you can join us for a three-course prix-fixe menu with the Magical Dining event. Here’s a look at what you can expect to find waiting for you at Jack’s Place.
Appetizers
For your first course of the Magical Dining menu, you’ll get to choose from three delicious appetizers. The Ahi Tuna features a bright and fragrant citrus ponzu sauce that adds an elegant Asian-inspired flair, as does a refreshing cucumber wasabi that packs a milder punch.
The Baked Onion Soup is rich and hearty, a true treat to kick off your meal. A savory beef broth made with caramelized onions is topped with a thick layer of three perfectly melted cheeses for a sweet, salty, and umami combo that you’ll have to taste to believe.
To start your meal with something green, opt for the classic Caesar salad. Refreshing romaine lettuce is lightly tossed with a zesty house-made dressing. Croutons made from herbed focaccia and generous ribbons of salty Parmigiano-Reggiano are the perfect finishing touches on this popular guest favorite.
Entrees
Once your appetite has been whetted with a delicious appetizer, you can move onto the main course: entrees. When it comes to perfectly prepared meat, chicken, and seafood, Jack’s Place always delivers.
Once again, you’ll have your choice of three fantastic entrees. The Oven Roasted Salmon is prepared tender and flaky, allowing the subtle flavors of the fish to shine through. That’s where the subtlety of flavors ends. The salmon is served with a decadent and spicy Calabrian chili cream sauce that will heat up your taste buds in no time.
Chicken Marsala is a Magical Dining specialty that is as comforting as it is indulgent. Tender boneless chicken breast is smothered in a dynamically flavorful Marsala sauce with an assortment of wild mushrooms. A side of creamy mashed potatoes is the perfect vessel for soaking up every last morsel of this incredible sauce. 
And of course, it wouldn’t be dinner at Jack’s Place without the option to treat yourself to a perfectly cooked Filet Mignon. This premier cut of steak is melt-in-your mouth tender. Cleanse your palate between bites with the rich and creamy signature Jack’s Au Gratin Potatoes and fresh seasonal vegetables.
If you’re tempted to dive into a true surf-and-turf experience, you can upgrade your filet with optional enhancements like succulent pan-seared scallops or a juicy broiled lobster tail.
Dessert
Hopefully you’ve saved plenty of room for dessert, because you won’t want to miss the delectable offerings at Jack’s Place.
The Flourless Chocolate Torte is sinfully delicious and the perfect dessert for any self-proclaimed chocoholic. Made from the finest Belgian chocolate, it packs an intense cocoa punch in its silky interior.
This is also a great opportunity to try the award-winning Key Lime Pie at Jack’s Place. This Floridian favorite has the perfect balance of sweet and tart with a crumbly, buttery crust that complements the pie’s delectably creamy filling.
The Daily Sorbet Selection is a refreshing way to cleanse your palate after a satisfying meal while still appealing to your sweet tooth. Ask your server about the flavor of the day.
With Magical Dining, Every Bite Helps Support a Local Nonprofit
