Service and food were great!!! The whistling from the kitchen hurt my head, but we were finished eating by the time it became overwhelming and able to go.
Sándwich and chicken are good, rice and beans had a little sour taste.
Love them been going since they have been open great food great price and they treat you like family
Good Cuban food place in Lake City.
What can I say. One of the best "Cuban" Dominican restaurants I have ever eaten in. It is not a very big restaurant, but the food was superbe. I had Picadillo Empanadas. Onion soup rivaled that made in France.
Listen, I normally love Jessica’s Bistro. They’ve always been nice and the food (in the past) has been delicious, but I have never been treated the way my group and I were treated last night by a restaurant. I was there with 2 other adults and 3 children (one was an infant). The place only had 2 other customers there. We finished our meal and paid, but were visiting with each other because I had just met one of the adults that night and we were getting to know each other. The only 2 other customers in the restaurant left and when they did we still had about 15 minutes before the restaurant closed - I know because I was keeping an eye on the time so we weren’t keeping the staff past open hours for guests (I hate when people do that) - and as we were talking the staff starting turning off the music AND THE LIGHTS, putting away signage and locking the doors!! It felt like the biggest “get the eff out of here” to us. We felt very unwelcome and like we were an inconvenience, even though we were in there within their posted open hours! Me and the other woman I was with were excited to show our out of town guest the good food that Jessica’s offered, but the food wasn’t even that good anymore and the staff’s passive aggressive treatment in the end ruined it. Quite honestly I won’t be back. It was absurd and embarrassing. I would have completely understood had we stayed past opening, but we weren’t. We shouldn’t have been pushed out early simply because the staff was tired of being at work.
The food was extraordinary
We stopped here driving through and Julie helped us. She was very friendly, attentive, and helpful with the menu. The food was SO good. The empanadas are AMAZING, so good we got an extra order to bring home. I think we found our new Lake City lunch spot. We will definitely be back.
The cuban sandwich was awesome!!! It's definitely a must to stop!
Omg so clean and well decorated. Our server was highly experienced and the food was great. At first you wouldn't think it would fill you up but I was wrong. We needed a to go box and the food was well put together and not stopped on your plate I almost didn't want to disturb the masterpiece lol.
We stopped in for a late lunch after searching for a local place to eat while driving back to IN from FL. Julie, our server, was wonderful at suggesting items on the menu. The food did not disappoint. It was amazing, homemade and fresh. The portions for the price are great. I would highly suggest stopping in to eat here. Thank you for a great experience.
Wow just WOW. Amazing food and staff. Fast and friendly service from ordering to the moment you leave.
Service is lacking. Food is not hot, but it takes so long to get I don't want to send it back or I might have to wait another half hour for it to return.
Perfect stop for lunch! Traveling through the state and wanted a convenient local restaurant. Cuban inspired menu, fresh food, classy atmosphere. Even the cook was whistling while he worked :) We will definitely stop here again!
Our family stopped in for lunch while on a road trip since the location is so easily accessible from I-75. The food was varied, plentiful and delicious - we especially loved the plantains. Thanks to Julie for the excellent service and great suggestions. If you’re travelling by Lake City, do yourself a favour and stop at Jessica’s Bistro!
My husband and I stopped at Jessica’s Bistro on our way home to Iowa and wow were we so glad we stopped! We saw the sign on I-75 and we’re just about to stop at fast food and quickly changes our minds. Julie was so welcoming and was able to get us our order fast. The food was delicious! We ended up having the cuban and Miami sandwiches but everything sounded so good we order rice & beans, guava pastries, and cuban coffee as well. Everything was hot and tasted so good! We have already decided we will stop here every time we are in the area. Thank you!
Tasty extremely moist simmered pork. Friendly staff and clean. Chairs around the table were dated , but this the only knock on the place.
Food and service is awesome! Highly recommend the Jessica Burger and the crispy pork tips! Julia is the best! I've never seen a server handle a crowd so well. Can't wait to come back!
This is my favorite place to eat in lake city. Any time my fiancé and I can't decide on a place to eat, this is our goto place. While some things on the menu seem a little high, you get really large portions, so it makes it worth it. Every time ive gone there my glass never stayed empty, shoot it never even got empty. I would recommend trying this place if you get the chance.
Best chicken quesadilla I have ever had!
