Description
Sit dockside and gaze at the big red Jupiter lighthouse or indoors in the spacious, wood-paneled dining room and feel like you're in a beautiful captain's cabin on a yacht. Either way, you're in for friendly service, above-average fillets and seafoods, and a relaxed dining experience at this surf 'n' turf on the waterway. Good cocktails are a plus here (including nonalcoholic ones), and nearly every wine on the list is served by the glass. A few appetizers on the menu, such as the hot crab dip or crab cake-coconut shrimp combo with a salad, would satisfy the lighter appetite for a value meal. The real deal, however, is Jetty's early-bird special, which attracts flocks of twilight diners - it's an older set, natch, so plan accordingly. Grouper, mahi, salmon, and swordfish are typical, and there's an extensive "turf" menu, with several filet mignons, baby back ribs, and chicken dishes. If there's a wait (during season, there often is), hang on the docks, where you can watch tarpon and other fish school under the lights, and see the boats go by.
