The next place I have chosen to discuss is Jackson’s Bistro. Located on Harbor Island, it is one of the best waterfront views in the Downtown Tampa area, allowing it to set itself apart from its competition. Their dining room includes indoor and outdoor seating. While the inside is nice, I would 100% recommend doing whatever is necessary in order to get seated outside. This may mean compromising your reservation time, but it is worth it. You will definitely need a reservation to eat here, and I recommend making it at least 10 hours before your desired time in order to get the most options.
The food at Jackson’s is quite delicious. While they do call themselves a sushi bar, they offer many other options. Their appetizers range from Tomato & Buffalo Mozzarella to Sesame Crusted Ahi Tuna. The entrees follow this same diverse range with seafood, steaks, and pasta. The prices of the entrees range from $17.00 to $39.00. While this may seem slightly overpriced, the food does live up to the expectations and the unbeatable views contribute to the dining experience.

Jackson’s Bistro is located on Harbor Island. They offer valet parking. In addition it is very walkable from any point on the Riverwalk.
The dress code at Jackson’s Bistro is sort of similar to that of Oxford Exchange. While you will not find people in sweatshirts and athleisure, women tend to wear skirts, maxi dresses, and white jeans. Men on the other hand usually opt for either dark jeans or khakis, a casual button down, and boat shoes. Below I have composed an outfit that I believe would be appropriate for a dinner at Jackson’s Bistro.
