I recently had the pleasure of dining at Jackie, the restaurant located within the St. Regis Riyadh, and I must say, it was an extraordinary experience.
From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted with impeccable service that set the tone for the rest of the evening. The ambiance of the restaurant exudes elegance and refinement, creating the perfect backdrop for a memorable dining experience.
The culinary journey began with dishes that transported me to the Mediterranean coast, evoking flavors of Greece, Italy, and Spain. The tomato salad was a standout, bursting with freshness and complemented by vibrant colors and perfectly balanced flavors. Each plate was meticulously presented, showcasing the chef's attention to detail and dedication to quality ingredients.
One aspect that truly impressed me was the selection of mocktails. These delightful concoctions were not only refreshing but also packed with flavor, adding an extra layer of enjoyment to the dining experience.
Overall, Jackie at the St. Regis Riyadh exceeded my expectations in every way. From the exquisite food to the impeccable service (congratulations to Zekiye, Marina and Sebastian) and chic ambiance, it truly was a dining experience to remember. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a taste of the Mediterranean right here in Riyadh.
Thank you team! I will...
Read moreI had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. Despite its name, it focuses on Greek cuisine. The food was incredibly fresh and beautifully presented, and the service was exceptionally attentive, making it a pleasant visit overall. I looved the seabass and shrimp, they were cooked to perfection. However, the tortellini with truffle was underwhelming in terms of truffle flavor (least to say) though it was still quite delicious, with a nice crunch from the walnuts. The grilled octopus was a bit different from what I expected as there was quite a bit of tomato in the dish. That said, the octopus itself was wonderfully tender, and I still enjoyed it. A special shoutout to the complimentary bread served with olive oil - it was a fantastic appetizer. We loved taking photos with family and friends at Jackie's as it has such an elegant yet vibrant atmosphere! I hope to come...
Read moreThe customer service was awful, we were greeted by an European lady and she asked about the reservation and we told we have it but we were not sure if it’s the right spot or not, so she showed us the table and gave us the menu and after a while she came back and told us she couldn’t find our reservation so we showed her the email and it was for different restaurant near by, her whole demeanor changed and she was extremely rude and mumbled something under her breath and yanked the menus off our hands and told us to leave instead of explaining the situation to us
The restaurant was empty at the time and we were willing to order but because of this woman’s behavior i wont even recommend it to...
