jack's waterfront - st clair shores, mi
i just happened to stumble across the fact that jack's is going to be on gordon ramsey's kitchen nightmares tomorrow (11/06). kind of frightening since i have eaten there before, though it was a couple of years ago and very mediocre then. it must have really turned into a disater to be chosen for a makeover. it will be interesting to see a local place on his show.

Is this the place that has a bar in the front with outdoor dancing and you can pull a boat up and park it? If so, we were there this summer and it was a prime candidate for a HUGE makeover. I actually told my husband that the only reason that people were eating there was because of the location as the whole place was a mess. I had never been there before and have no plans of returning. The written special of the day was "Yellow Fish" tuna not Yellow Fin, unless this is a species that I haven't heard of.

Well after watching the show last night, it seems like we were there after the show was filmed and I was still underwhelmed. I think they need to decide if they are a restaurant or a party bar. Wasn't shown on the show, but when we were there in July the first thing you see when walking up to the door is everyone dancing to really loud music on the patio and drinking at 6:00 p.m. Everyone in our group commented on that.

bummer, we were hoping for a decent waterfront restaurant that would be worth a Sunday afternoon drive.
Did anyone else think it strange that Gordon pushed "sea" fish instead of lake perch/walleye/whitefish? And he didn't know what lake perch tasted like--and turned it into CHOWDER?
