Well prepared appetizers and well drinks & cocktails will compel me for a return visit! Bartender was pleasant and even prepared an extra special drink that's not on the menu. The crab fries was very good but i'd prefer the sauce on the side though the crisp held up well despite that. Shrimp on fig was yummy but the Buffalo chicken was surprisingly very tasty and better than most! The Hongkong cocktail I had(vodka) was refreshing and was not shy at all! The white wine pours were great! The place is decorated with homage to its namesake Jackie O and the wall to the riverfront was decorated with pictures of the Kennedy family (Jack, Caroline & John) with, I believe, Jackie in most of them either solo or with her her family! While it was nicely decorated, I thought the more than too many orange hues was inapposite to Jackie O's posh and chic style...I don't know...it was a little off for me -texture and color wise! Still it's worth a visit 3.5-4 stars! read more

To start- the food is amazing! So if you walk in and it looks a bit empty (I'm still trying to figure this part out because the food and interior is so cute and quaint, it should be totally packed out every single day!) don't let it throw you off, this is where you need to be! Waiter staff plug - Bastian is amazing! I have been to Jackie a couple times and he greets me with nothing but a smile and does a great job making sure you are satisfied! Literally has me ready to pay my bill at the end with excitement. The chicken and waffles is totally that girl! And the hot honey sauce is amazing but for those who don't like there food to touch, get the sauce on the side. I also enjoyed the croque sandwich more than I expected and the French fries HIT! Absolutely add Jackie to your brunch list and it's great for groups! read more

Randomly stopped in here and what an experience! Opted to sit at the bar and Danny was our bartender. He was very friendly and shared his favorite menu items. He also gave tons of information on the area and events happening at Jackie. They have a nice set up, with lots of seating both inside and out. Definitely plan on returning here for dinner! read more

Love love love.. wait did I say I love this spot!! The aesthetics and energy bouncing off this place is great! I sat by the bar since that's usually my go to. I like to see what the bartender can cook up and I met the right one. Danny was more than exceptional, he was phenomenal and this is rare for me to say. He was an experience! I went with several types of drinks. Was accompanied by my girl and her friend. They indulged in some great drinks as well. I also got some shots that were suggested by Danny. This guy got the sauce when it comes to mixing drinks. I was able to order a the mussels. This was what I needed that night and love every moment of eating it. Definitely return sooner than later. This time I will indulged in more! read more

SERVICE: our waiter Yong/Yung?(sp) was so sweet and attentive and made our experience so wonderful. The entire staff actually, because the host & bussers were also very nice. FOOD: I had the short rib and it was delicious. So good, I ended up taking it home and it was just as good for lunch the next day. I also had the First Ladies Club cocktail and it was *chefs kiss.* AMBIENCE: The music could've been better to set a nice vibe, it was random pop music with minimal thought or flow, so it was a bit jarring at times, but overall it was still a very romantic experience for us. Thank you for making our night so special! read more

I've tried to go to Jackie two times since, and both times were awkward, a bit chaotic, and not reflective of a 5-star establishment. I had friends in town and we stopped by for brunch two weekends ago. We waited in line behind a couple and realized there was no host in sight (the host stand outside was totally abandoned). The couple in front of us got frustrated and left after ~10 minutes. We waited another 5, and then I finally went inside to speak to someone. The bartender I spoke to was apologetic and let me know she'd try to locate the host. A good 5 minutes later (note: we've been waiting 20 minutes at this point) the host casually walks up to the stand and begins to greet us - no apology or anything. Then the phone rings and she picks up and proceeds to have a conversation on the phone! We were stunned, and turned around and left. I caught the host rolling her eyes at us. This was the second time I have encountered issues with the host/getting seated. The place wasn't even that busy. Really unacceptable. A shame, because the few times I have dined at Jackie the food was actually delicious. Oh well, we headed to Chloe and had a fantastic brunch. read more

Lovely restaurant by the river with some tasty food! We ordered from their appetizers and found everything to be very tasty. The cheese biscuits were delicious and came with a butter and jam that gave a nice sweet and salty mix. The watermelon salad was very refreshing and the blended feta was an especially nice touch. Also ordered the Jackie O, which was a pretty light drink with more subtle flavors, but still very good. It was really nice to sit outside and our waiter was very kind and attentive read more

We were really looking forward to a lovely Mother's Day brunch at Jackie which was completely ruined by a thoughtless manager. We made a reservation over a month in advance clearly stating in the reservation that we had four adults and would require a high chair for our daughter at the table. When we arrived we were taken to an extremely small table by the bar that could barely fit four. There was absolutely no way we could have comfortably sit at the table and also have our daughter eating from the table in a high chair. When we mentioned our concern with the small table the manager told us the high chair would have a table attached so she didn't need to eat from the table and abruptly walked away. It took asking three people and over five minutes to finally get the high chair at our table. I understand it was Mother's Day but we were the second party in the restaurant and it was far from busy. Additionally, when the high chair finally arrived it did not include an attached table as promised by the manager! We asked if we could switch to one of the larger tables and the manager quite begrudgingly moved us to a table on the street that was lopsided as it was sitting on a manhole cover. Additionally, when we tried to put our daughter into the high chair it did not include a buckle. This is a safety concern if you have a toddler. I politely asked if there was another high chair available and were told the only other one in the restaurant was being used. Given our daughter could not safely be in a high chair, we chose to leave the restaurant. Even though our experience wasn't ideal, what has put me over the top is how the business owners responded to my wife's review. Instead of contacting us directly to discuss the situation, he had the manager from that morning post a response in which she called my wife "extremely difficult" and also accused her of expressing her dissatisfaction to other guests, which is not true. Ilya can locate our phone number and email from the reservation or DM on Yelp to get to the bottom of the matter. While there are always two sides to every story, how he handled their response was unacceptable. He wasn't there to know what really happened! Owners should lead by example and clearly this reflects in how poorly his manager treated their guests. read more

Jackie has a sort of fun swanky vibe to it. I came here for a HH recently and was excited to try it out for the first time. It was empty, which was nice as I was looking for somewhere calm to kill a few hours. I was disheartened at their HH menu, they have a sizable menu but few HH options. The staff was friendly for the most part except when I tried to get a different sauce for a dish, I was told the Chef will not allow it and no alternative solution was discussed by our bartender. I doubt I will be back, they seemed to go out of their way to make me feel unwelcome. read more

The dish that I ordered - rigatoni with a side of mushrooms was really good. The craft drinks were good. The service was great! The waiter was patient and kind - even tho I had several questions. The ambiance inside and out - great. I wish they had plant based "milk" options for my coffee. Everyone enjoyed their cocktails- I noted that all of them were beautifully presented. Would definitely go back. Cute date spot or place to hang with friends. I wish the menu had more pescatarian and vegetarian options. read more

We came here for happy hour after work. The place was really empty but the vibes of the place were cool. The happy hour was just at the bar and the bartender was friendly. The drinks options were ok but the prices were not that great. A cool place but not sure if I would go back. read more

Stopped in for brunch with an out of town friend and i will say the experience was okay. the food was decent and the my friends enjoyed their drinks. I'll just get to the things I enjoyed about Jackie's: - the waffle with the spicier syrup was DELICIOUS - the tater tots were pretty good - the outdoor seating area is very cute. They have these plant wall as dividers so your group can enjoy a meal without being close to others - our waiter was really awesome! In fact everyone we encountered during our visit was fantastic (and I'm a sucker for good customer service) Things I did not enjoy so much: - they add a 15% service charge, that is separate from a tip, that goes to the restaurant and not the waiter. Thankfully our waiter told us it wasn't the tip, but we ended paying an extra 35% of our bill to make sure we gave the waiter a 20% tip. Apparently this began during the peak of the pandemic (which I totally understand) but now that restrictions have loosened, I think this is a bit excessive. - the bbq shrimp and grits were a let down. I was very excited about them but the flavor didn't give what it was supposed to gave! read more

I've walked past Jackie more times than I can count and finally dropped in the other day with a friend for outdoor dinner. We ordered entirely too much food, but everything was great. We were seated outside near the Jackie mural, which was really kind of a cool effect. It was poppin' like Orville Redenbacher outside because it was a gorgeous day and everyone in Navy Yard was outside. We shared several dishes, with a summary below: -Calamansi pepper wings: I rarely order wings because I'm usually underwhelmed by them. But with these, you could actually TASTE the calamansi in the seasoning, which was awesome. Needless to say, these wings didn't last long on the plate. :-) -Duck pastrami toast: Umm, why doesn't everyone serve this? FYI the dish is duck-only and it does not contain pork (which was a plus for us). This dish was simply excellent. It was an unusual combination that I never would have thought of--duck, peanut butter, peanuts, cherry jam--and somehow those flavors all melded together like the instruments in an orchestra. -Roasted beets & citrus: My friend mostly ate this dish as she was longing for some veggies that day. The thing to note is it is more like a traditional salad (i.e. lots of greens) with some beets at the bottom. From the menu, we were expecting beets to be more the core of the dish, but that was fine. -Jerk chicken sandwich: I typically wouldn't order jerk chicken at a non-Caribbean restaurant, but this sandwich was pretty good. I had the Vida Verde cocktail, which is a mezcal-based drink with a kick. My friend enjoyed the bourbon-based Dragon Smash. They have a small but curated cocktail menu and a longer menu of wine, champagne, and beer. Service was present at the beginning and got spottier as time went on, although we were well taken care of on the whole. I'll definitely be back! read more

Drinks were fine - nothing to write home about. They only have one beer on happy hour which I found odd considering how many they had on the menu. Weird thing for a French restaurant to serve pommes frites with ketchup only. When I asked about mayo or an aioli they told me that the chef doesn't serve them with that- which is typical of fries in France. Rude staff, will not return. read more

All around amazing! Food was great. We had the Belgian waffle with fresh fruit, Jackie burger and the American Breakfast. Every food order was delicious. Atmosphere was relaxing with ecleptic music.

*5 for Ambiance, Drink and Service/3 for food* Was dining along on this sunny day out at the patio overlooking the bay. Not a bad life after all. My server brought a sample of Kosmonaut which is an Oak Aged Wild Ale Exclusively for their next door sister beer garden Dacha by the Right Proper Brewing. I also ordered brut rose where I got the bottle popping action earlier on during the day. For food I ordered the Crab Cake benedict. I was super curious about crab salad but that was somehow missing from the plate. For $28 I was hoping for lump crab or something better quality; the actual turned out to be mushy. I guess you can't have it all. Still a pleasant experience today though, especially seeing a special event for dogs next door in the beer garden. Also, you can't beat the Jackie/Jack/Marilyn trio. read more

Solid choice on the waterfront at Navy Yard. First time going there, Ive been to Dacha before but never the restaurant. It was three of us and for my share I had the fried chicken sandwich, which was doing exactly what it needed to do and i upgraded my fries to crab fries. I made solid choices. My friends got the Beef Tartare, which was the star of their show. I even tasted it, it was flavorful and if I truly fancied raw beef I would get it. I think its safe to say the "grilled caesar salad" can be missed or consider it not grilled, just regular. The anchovies were missing (not that those are my preference) anyway lol. Then there was the cannelloni and meatballs, which were not a hit either. However, the short rib would rub our third party just the right way. They enjoyed the chocolate cake as well but would have liked a regular vanilla ice cream option to pair with. All in all, I enjoyed the ambiance. Staff was nice, my chicken and fries were delicioso. I only got pics of the apps, we ate everything else pretty quickly. read more

Travelled down to DC with a few friends to celebrate my thirty-first. I had a brunch destination in mind from prior visits, but instead received an invitation to Jackie. I was certainly not disappointed. Located in Navy Yard, Jackie doesn't only have a beautiful view of the Potomac River, but a stunning ambiance inside the venue as well. We were greeted and promptly seated by extremely kind staff and presented with the Brunch Menu. The first thing that caught my eye was the not-so-typical selection of brunch cocktails; bottomless mimosas are great, sure, but Jackie presented you with the option to mix and match a selection of four delectable cocktails - the Jackie O, Hong Kong, an Aperol Spritz and a perfectly spiced Bloody Mary. I chose to start with the Hong Kong and had an Aperol Spritz down the line, both of which were delicious. I should mention that the bottomless cocktails are limited to a two hour time frame, but that is plenty of time to enjoy them all if you choose. For brunch, my group decided on a variety of starters, including the Caesar Salad, Texas Avocado Toast, Creamsicle Parfait and Pastry Platter. All of these were extremely tasty, but the star of the show was (unsurprisingly) the Texas Avocado Toast. Topped with avocado, marinated tomato, micro cilantro and corn chowder, the consensus among the group was that it was by far the best variation of avocado toast that we've ever had. Also, the croutons on the Caesar Salad were...well, let's just say I wish I could have taken a bag home to snack on. For the mains, I have included pictures of each of the group entrees, but I myself had the Biscuits & Gravy with a side of sausage links. I'm a big fan of the entree at home and I've had it at quite a few brunch locations. I can honestly say that the biscuits at Jackie were cooked beautifully - a flaky, crispy exterior and a soft, pillowy interior, topped with savory sausage gravy and a fried egg (over-easy). A veritable flavor explosion. Two sausage links came with the side, both of a decent size and browned to perfection. Overall, I have nothing but praise for this venue. Delicious food, creative cocktails, friendly staff and a vibrant atmosphere make this location a must-visit if you're at the wharf or a worthwhile Metro trip if you're in the DC area. read more

Jackie is a home run! Formally Dacha Navy Yard, Jackie has taken on a new name and menu. With Chef Jerome, a James Beard Award nominee at the helm, it is no surprise the food and experience at Jackie was one to remember. From crispy Double fried chicken to delicate seafood Crudo, the array of flavors will have you coming back for more. The vibes here were never an issue as the scenery breathes life into your weekend with how festive the atmosphere is. Jackie is a place you just want to hang out at all day! You do not want to miss this place if you're looking for a fun summer time experience. read more

I had a delightful dinner here for restaurant week! We had a reservation online, so when we arrived we were promptly seated at a table on the patio. I enjoyed how the tables were separated by bushes, for good privacy (distance). Had great service - they were immediately ready to take our orders and the food came out without much of a wait in between the courses. Apps: Scallop Crudo - this dish summed up in one word is FRESH. the cucumber, peach, avocado, and dressing made it a fun app. the scallops had a great taste - even if you're not a seafood fan, it doesn't have a strong, overwhelming seafood taste at all- and consistency was great. Steak Tarare - very very tasty!!! Mains: Strip Steak - omg this was SOOOO GOOD. I'm not normally a steak fan but the gravy was impeccable and the meat had amazing texture. Moms Spaghetti - Bolognese but with a bit of a Filipino twist with the really flavorful longanisa (sweet sausage). Dessert: Vanilla Pound Cake - A good pound cake, with a sweet topping of strawberries and plum compote (although I wouldn't have known about the plum if I hadn't read it in the menu). But i was a BIG fan of the whipped greek yogurt! Not too sweet of a whipped cream but gave it a great density. Coconut Rice Carolina - a unique take on your classic rice pudding. The spices give it an interesting savory flavor while the strawberries and rose water in the middle add to the sweetness. A must-have! read more

Cute decor and great place to gather with a large group. It was pretty empty on a weeknight. The food was solid and tasty but definitely expensive for what it was. The garlic shrimp was good but I was expecting more. The mushroom croquettes were okay, I think they could have definitely had a lot more flavor. The bread was hard and stale and whatever butter they served with it was not good at all. Super weird flavor. I split a burger and the full burger would have been too big. The burger was delicious but had hardly any sauce on it. Could have definitely used more. The fries were excellent. I also tasted the snickerdoodle dessert which was hugeeee and really yummy. This was a fun place but the menu is somewhat limited. read more

Deliciousness - 3.5/5 Happiness - 2/5 My wife and I went there for our 11th Anniversary. And I guess she's a saint for being with me for 11 years! Initially, I made a reservation. Despite that, when I showed up, they said the dining room was full and sat us next to the bar. Not a huge deal, but kind of odd considering I'd booked the big day. In any event, I was really excited about Jackie but it just didn't deliver. First, everyone raves about the duck and it's on the menu, but they were out of it. And we didn't exactly get there late (6:30). It's always disappointing when the signature item isn't on the menu. Also strange, they were playing Law and Order SVU at the bar, so it was a bit funny to be on a romantic date while people are sobbing over their traumatic experiences on the screen. The service was spotty as well (I believe our waiter only came by 2-3 times) and didn't even offer us a celebratory dessert or anything. The positive is that the portions are very big. We ordered the steak tartare, a Caesar salad, and beet soup and all were more than generous helpings (indeed, I even took home quite a bit of the salad). They also have a very unique beer list with a lot of German options (which I quite enjoy). That said, not much of it was impressive. The lettuce of the salad overwhelmed the dressing flavors and the anchovies were way too salty (even for anchovies). The beet soup was interesting but not anything we'd try again. I also ordered the fried chicken sandwich and it was very dry - no nice mouthwatering moisture when I bit in. I'd normally rate it a 2 but my wife said it was hand's down the best risotto she ever had. Although she too was underwhelmed with the overall experience, she said she'd come back all the time for the risotto. So for risotto and German beer fans, I give it a thumbs up. For everyone else, I think you can find something better. read more

We had a lovely dinner here tonight. To start with, we liked the vibe at Jackie. It has an upscale feel about it, but also casual. This is very much in keeping with the area around Nats stadium in SE. We enjoyed the food, too. We shared the burrata, which was light & refreshing. I also had the fried chicken appetizer & liked it very much. 4 or 5 large pieces & a sauce to dip them in. My husband had the shrimp appetizer. It came with a rich butter sauce. read more

We really wanted to like Jackie's, but the overall experience was really disappointing. Service: we waited 15 minutes before our server arrived to our table and greeted us to take drinks. She was very sweet and helpful as the rest of our visit had quite a few disasters. Food: When we ordered the breakfast pastries for $16, we weren't told they were out or some of them Prior to being served. They did take them off our bill but this was just the beginning of things gone wrong. Presentation was inconsistent (key garnishes missing, no syrup brought out for chicken and waffles). One of our friends ordered chicken and biscuits which was cold and flavorless. Our server helped expeditiously and she reordered a chicken and waffles instead. This is where our patience took a toll: the chicken was severely undercooks, and was raw and bleeding from the center. We sent that back, and besides the serving staff and management taking it off our bill, nothing concrete was really offered to us to make up for these offenses. Overall, the atmosphere was great, but this place is severely overpriced, and lacking a bit on customer service. We're still jaded they charged our friend $5 for her pineapple juice after she barely ate after two bad meals. Most likely won't give them another try, mediocre food at high prices aren't our thing. read more

Me and my boyfriend came here for happy hour/dinner and absolutely loved it! You can sit outside even on a hot day because their outdoor area is very well covered/shaded without compromising the beautiful view of the river. The staff from the hostess to the waiter were very friendly, professional, and gave great food and drink recommendations. We got a mix of the happy hour and dinner menu. For drinks: - Jackie O - super light tonic sparkling drink, perfect for a summer day - Old fashioned apparatchik - mezcal based old fashioned that is very strong and tasty but, must love mezcal because the smokiness is very prominent - Espresso martini - one of the most popular drinks and for a good reason - so tasty and a great way to end the night! From the happy hour menu: - Grilled shrimp - jumbo, quality shrimp in a garlicky butter sauce. So delicious! - Caesar salad - creamy and garlicky homemade dressing. Also delicious! For dinner: - Rigatoni ragu - cooked perfectly al dente in a homemade red meat sauce! - Burger - prepared as ordered (we got medium) with thick, quality bacon. We got the garlic, parm fries with it which, were perfectly crispy For dessert: - Snickerdoodle ice cream sandwich - honestly, I could've gone without this. The cookies are kind of crumbly and not the soft chewy kind. The ice cream was very flavorful and unique though - I just ate some on its own - Apple pie empanadas - super unique and personally I also could have gone without it because, I prefer cakey/soft desserts but, my boyfriend loved this dish! The empanadas come with a creamy sauce to dip them in read more

Love Jackie! Great local spot with reliable food and drinks. Service is good and reliable.

I made a reservation a month in advance for Mother's Day and specifically requested a table for 4 adults and a highchair for our almost 2-year-old. Despite reiterating that 5 people would be eating when they confirmed the reservation, we were given a cramped table that wouldn't even have been comfortable for 4 adults. The restaurant was completely empty as they just opened. I needed to request the highchair three times and was willing to make the table work if the highchair had a tray (and I was told it did). The highchair was finally brought out and guess what - no tray. I asked to move tables and the staff begrudgingly gave us a larger one that was sitting on the sidewalk and was lopsided because it was on a manhole cover. The cherry on top - the highchair was broken and when I requested a new one they said the only other one was being used. I'm unsure what their plan was if another family with a young child came to the restaurant, but we didn't stick around to find out - we took our business elsewhere. I realize this restaurant is upscale, but if a venue chooses to host a Mother's Day event, I anticipate the staff to be at least somewhat family friendly. Needless to say, I won't be back (even for an adults only meal). read more

Came down for a girls weekend and found Jackie's for brunch. Lovely staff, good quality food and these purple glasses that are GORGEOUS! Note: if you love the glasses like I do, they sell them! WINNING! Now back to the food.... I ordered the Biscuits and gravy. The dish overall is delish. Cheddar biscuit w/ a sausage gravy which was super creamy and flavorful! The tequila jazz cocktail is a refreshing but bit spicy drink definitely a must! The wait staff super helpful and attentive, maybe a bit too attentive but they do it in a warm and welcoming way! Our server Lilly was sweet, kind and super knowledgeable! The only thing that could have made it better is if we could have sat outside w/ the heated lamps. The host didn't want to turn on the heated lamps. Other than that, this was a great experience! read more

I'm very conflicted about Jackie. I love the outdoor patio with its Parisian style set up, as well as the clean, colorful interior. It's right between Nats Park and the River, too, so the location is great. They are owned by Dacha, so the beer list is nice and big, plus they serve pretty good croquettes and dumplings. However, I've been twice, and both times the service was notably awful. It might be the most unattentive service I have ever experienced ever at any restaurant. Both times, besides bringing out the food, we never saw a staff person once. You order and pay on an app, so it was hard to tell if anyonr was even assigned to our table, and no one came by to check on us a single time or even refill our water - not once. To add insult to injury, they charge a mandatory 15% living wage fee on top of tip, meaning if you charge 20% tip, you pay a 35% fee. It is ridiculous to charge customers a living wage fee - you should be paying staff a living wage, period, not forcing customers to pay a 35% surcharge to get it done. It was especially outrageous considering the lack of attention. It's a nice patio, but really not worth the frustration. All Purpose around the corner and the Salt Line next door both have patios with nice River views, so I have to recommend those instead. read more

What a completely mediocre experience Jackie offers, for anything-but-mediocre prices. Arrive here and expect to wait 5-10 minutes for a server and water. While you're waiting, peruse the menu, and feast your eyes on the Caesar salad, which costs $16. Seem a little pricey? Then I would recommend against adding a protein. If you want to do that, you can choose between $15 for 7 oz of chicken, or $22 for 7 oz of salmon. To put that in context, you can walk down to the Whole Foods 3 blocks away (not a place known for bargains) and buy and ENTIRE CHICKEN for $8.50 or 7 oz of salmon for $6.99. Otherwise you can pay $31 for a chicken Caesar salad whose ingredients cost no more than $4. So about the time you've had this conversation with yourself, the waiter will arrive. Perhaps, like me, you'll order the steak and eggs for $28, medium rare. You might choose differently if you know it's a cheap sirloin, or maybe not (inflation?) Hopefully, unlike me, that's how you'll get it, rather than the medium well I received. Perhaps, unlike me, when your poor overcooked dry hash browns arrive, the waiter will be somewhere nearby to offer some ketchup, instead of nowhere to be found. To be fair, the food tasted decent. But for the prices this place is trying to charge, they need to get it right. They don't. Skip Jackie and Uber to le Dip. It's where you wanted to go anyway. read more

Brunch done right!! No offense but I feel like if I ever passed Jackie on a normal day I would not think the food was good. Sometimes places that are too pretty lack on the flavor you know what I mean? But not only were things SEASONED, the restaurant week menu was also plentiful - it included a yogurt bowl & a platter of pastries. That's really what they mean when be saying don't judge a book by its cover. read more

Jackie's is a treat. The restaurant is beautiful and the location, right near the water, is lovely. I had dinner there last week, sitting on the patio. Loved it! The service was excellent and everyone on the staff we met was so nice. The food was great. Some of the highlights for me - the squash blossom appetizer (my favorite!), the meatballs were also really tasty. For entrees, my group enjoyed the ravioli (a star on the menu), the fish burger, and the cauliflower steak. And the cherry blossom cocktail was a sweet treat. I'm looking forward to going back on my next visit to DC. read more
