This was my first visit to Jackson's and it was a quick stop for Happy Hour before we went out to dinner at another local restaurant. The place was packed and if you look at any of the pictures you see online you will see the bar area is very narrow. We were able to find one available seat at the bar so I stood next to my friend adjacent to the bar. We were enjoying ourselves and chatting with the bartenders and those close to us when one of the hostesses approached me in a not so kind manner and informed me that I was impeding the path behind the bar. Mind you, I am aware that my 6'4" frame can take up some space so I was already cognizant of blocking the path. I politely apologized squeezed closer to the bar. Not a problem. Well, it wasn't 5 minutes or so before one of the hostesses comes flying through and makes direct contact with me, jarring me from my position. It wasn't a glancing move or even an attempt to avoid me. It was clear that she was trying to make a point and this was an intentional act. She said "excuse me" and smiled while I smiled back at her knowing full well what she was doing. When she returned to her station all of the hostesses were looking my way smirking and I smiled back knowing that I would be writing this review.
Anyway, I didn't want to ruin my evening by making a scene at that point, but this person deserves a severe reprimand at the very least. I am a very kind and considerate person and would never want to impose on anyone intentionally. For reference, I was at the restaurant Friday January 21st. I hope management takes this review seriously and makes an effort to remind their staff that the building is very narrow and to be considerate to those trying to have a nice...
Read moreI recently had a horrid experience last evening at Jacks. For contextual purposes history is necessary- I am not indigenous to Santa Rosa. However, I came in 2021 not the best introduction to a beautiful community. However, there were three bars that I attended that made me feel like I was part of that community. One was Jacks, bird in the bottle and Monty’s until the recent construction. After yesterday, I’ll will never patronize jacks again. This is what happened- I entered during happy hour / as you may know happy hour is for bar patrons and high tables . All was fill - one individual was at a three set high table- I politely, diplomatically, kindly and considerately ask if you was okay sharing her table / I gave her am out because reiterated if she desired her solitude please continue and we did not want to intrude. The kind patron said no please stay. Suddenly a young waitress approached the table asked the woman that had agreed for us to join her table did we force ourselves onto her table. I let the waitress know I had already asked the woman at the table and made sure it was okay- however the waitress was rude as hell - she assumed that a person of color had no social etiquette, Didn’t care about her for a fellow person ask if it was OK to join. She questioned my moral attitude. The manager, the bar manager, Amanda and the manager of the facility, completely supported her response. It was rude. It was embarrassing. It was condescending, and it was racially motivated. I’m suggesting Bro that all people not just people of all people that disagree with bad and racism no longer...
