My husband and I had gone over to Fort Morgan pier, fishing from 9:30-11. We were hungry…read moreafterwards, and I had heard great things about Jesse's by the Bay. I was aware we needed to get dressed up to have dinner there, because it's white tablecloth at night. But, I hoped we would be welcomed with our casual attire for lunch. Sure enough, we were kindly greeted at the entrance and seated right away. We had the nicest waiter, Alex. He said he'd worked there awhile and seemed to love his job. He did great describing the entrees and answering all questions. He sold me on the food, by the way he took pride in their preparation and presentation. We had the following for lunch: Apps- Oyster Jesse Crab & Tasso Gratin Entree- Fish sandwich (Redfish was served today) @ MP ($25), and we chose house made fries as the side. One of the best lunches ever,'in this area. Can't wait to go back for dinner! It will definitely be one our go-to places. Anxious to try everything on the menu. I highly recommend it to anyone, who doesn't mind paying the price for good, quality food. To add, the view is lovely! All the windows in the restaurant face the bay. You can eat outside, if you want a completely clear view.

Chilled water was set out when we arrived, trying to get more water after that was like asking for money out the servers pocket. I never got a water glass, then had to ask two more times before getting one. Then got a cold stare when I asked them to clear off the 6-8 empty water bottles and bring some more water. The only redeeming features of the meal, the mojito and old fashioneds were great. The wedge salad was great. The crab bisque tasted good just wish there was more than 2-4 bits of crab in it. My wife's steak was cold. The Pontchartrain grouper, green beans, and mashed potatoes were cold when received. As was 4-6 other people's dishes at our table. I asked to heat my plate up and they were baffled someone would complain about poor food quality. For a $200 dinner, it was disappointing. There was 12 of us, at least $1200-1500 was spent on this meal and so many people were not satisfied.

Not our first time here but it's always amazing!! We go for a company dinner and have a buffet…read moredinner in the private dining room. The buffet included cowboy caviar, spinach dip with tortilla chips and pita chips, green salad, cheese grits, macaroni and cheese, asparagus, a grilled fish, fried shrimp and chicken fingers. It was all well seasoned and delicious! Dessert was cookies and an AMAZING chocolate chip bread pudding that was some of the best I've ever had!! I also had a lemon drop martini made with raspberry vodka and it was great as well. It's not on the menu so you have to ask for it. We also went another day and had dinner from the menu. I had the fish if the day which was a grilled snapper that I had Oscar style topped with crab, served with a cheese risotto, It all went together well and was scrumptious! I forgot probably the best part, the barbecue shrimp appetizer! It was so good, the Cajun sauce was perfect, not too spicy and very creamy. They serve it with French bread and it was a great tool to eat the sauce with!

It was pretty good…read more The food came out fast and hot. It was tasty, but I added some extra heat to what I was eating. We shared the Pad Thai and Panang. Both good. The Panang was slightly thin, rather than thick sauce. We like it a bit more rich. Anyhow, as Thai restaurants go, it was good. I think for our tastes, it was not notable. It came recommended and for what it was, the location and inside, it was ok as a coastal restaurant. That means, the interior looked like Florida and it was light in colors and yet fairly basic. I'm not sure we would recommend it, as we went out of our way to find it. Maybe your experience will be better...

I strongly recommend that ownership review their leaderships handling of issues as they inevitably arise. The waiter started off strong and was attentive and good with recommendations. However that changed as the dinner went on and he disappeared. He highly recommended the grouper bites which we ordered. He also said he was going to request a "10 min hold" on our dinner orders so that they didn't come out with the appetizer, which we appreciated. When the grouper bites arrived, they simply were not as outstanding as he described. I would definitely prefer them to be a bit crispier as the batter was soggy and it just fell off, while the flavor was ok, no one at the table asked for the remaining bites that were left after passing the plate, so that tells me a lot with a hungry group. Next when our orders started coming out about 10 min after the appetizers were eaten, they only brought out 1/2 the table. The server who brought those out said the rest was right behind her. Well we waited for over 25min to finally receive the rest of the food for the table. Yikes!! Our waiter just disappeared after the first orders arrive and after 5 min of waiting we asked about the other plates. He was no where to be found after that for like 25 minutes. After 10 minutes, we flagged down a different waiter and requested help and they brought the manager over. Once the manager came over and then went back to the kitchen and then came back to take orders again from the plates that were not delivered. Our waiter was still MIA the whole time until AFTER the food finally arrived (which he didn't bring out BTW). Geeze...... Lastly the waiter again disappeared after briefly checking on if the food was ok after the final plates were delivered. I had to flag him down after waiting for him for 10-15 minutes after everyone was done just to try to pay the bill....... So let's discuss the food. I ordered the shrimp boil. The corn and potatoes were good and seasoned perfectly. They advertise that they serve Connecuh Sausage which I love! However after the boil came out they covered the sausage in something like old bay. Wow they should NEVER do that. Connecuh Sausage is delicious by itself. Don't ruin it by adding extra spice to it! Lastly the Gulf shrimp were large and plentiful which was wonderful. However, they WAYYYYYY over boiled them as they were mushy and hard to peel. This had so much potential to be a great meal but the kitchen didn't know how to prepare it. Now for the good part, the atmosphere was great. Beautiful sunset, outside. Nice breeze blowing across the outside dining. It was great seeing the large fishing boats coming in. This setting has so much potential!!! Overall I would like to think this was LIKELY just a bad night for the kitchen and our waiter, as I didn't see similar problems at other tables, but when you are spending this type of money, at a family dinner, you'd expect better food and service. And when the manager finally got involved you would think they may offer a very sincere apology and/or at least comp something, like the late dishes, or offer a free drink to the guests who waited, or even a dessert, however they didn't offer anything except our waiter offering a passing apology- like it was an just an inconvenience to have half the dinner party entirely finished with their meal (that had gotten cold BTW waiting on the final plates) before the other three ever received theirs. That lack of ownership to their mistake, especially with a manager knowing about it and having to get involved to resolve, was disappointing. It also tells me the root issue is leadership in both the front of the house and back of the house, as that mistake should have been addressed quickly and a personal follow up apology would have been very appropriate. Final verdict would be to proceed with caution here, until other reviews confirm that Zeke's is performing better AND that leadership is resolving issues and owning them when they inevitably arise. Thanks!
