The food was okay ... I ordered an entree which was supposed to come with angel hair pasta and they gave me spaghetti instead. The waiter was too formal--not friendly. The restaurant atmosphere was okay. Prices for what we got--too much. We stayed right next door at the Anchor Inn but didn't return to the Jacaranda after that one visit. more

As UK snowbirds it has taken us 2 years to find this gem . The restaurant will suit every taste and event. Fine dining in the main restaurant, a garden (enclosed ) restaurant and our favourite Jac Bar great entertainment , have seen Mid life Chryslers and Renata both fantastic more

My family and I went to the Jac for dinner during our stay in Sanibel. Right after our drinks came out, the power went out. Our server continued on getting our soup, salad and apps in the dark. We discussed leaving but since we didn't know the status of the rest of the island's power we decided to stay since... more

Great experience at this restaurant. This was our third "girls nights out" weekend trip to Sanibel Island. The first time at Jacaranda. Jacaranda turned out to be a great value with a $25.00 gift certificate I purchased from restaurant.com for $2.00. We all had the 8 oz. filet mignon, which was incredible along with the atmosphere. It came with a... more

I was there on 9/17/2009. First of all customer service is out the window. They seat you then you are on your own. Then they couldnt mix a drink if you poured it for them. Who cant make a margarita? Come on, that's ridiculous! Then we asked for one of their own signature drinks it tasted like sea water. We... more

Against the recommendations of local bartenders and others, my husband and I choose this resteraunt for our anniversary dinner. (I can't spell BTW) It was perfect - the food was good - not great - but certainly acceptable for the price - and the service was perfect. Not overbearing, but right there when I wanted something. And it was casual... more

Another of our regular haunts each year on Sanibel. The food is always well presented and delicious. A particular favorite of mine is the Cajun beef fillets as an appetiser....it doesn't get much better than that! We visited twice in July and I found that our server on the second occasion was not up to their normal standard..maybe we were... more

We ate at the Jacaranda for our anniversary and were not disappointed. The salad was fresh, not pre-made. Large wine selection and good coffee. We had the Crab Stuffed Baked Grouper, which was probably the best grouper I have ever had. I have lived in Florida most of my life and grouper is the fish of choice for me. This... more

We spent our anniversary in Sanibel in June instead of going to Islamorada. We visited Jacaranda for a dinner. Our waiter from California (forgot his name) was fantastic. The food was very delicious but not 5 star. Little overpriced. The bread served was very unique and good. Their waiting stuff is their stronghold. Not too much atmosphere. Wine list is... more
