We got married on Jekyll Island and took our friends and family to dinner at Tortuga Jacks. I was so impressed with the staff, the food, and the way they handled our party. Jenna (the banquet coordinator) was amazing and helpful in so many ways! I highly recommend this place for a down to earth relaxed gathering with friends/family.
