On the Road: Jackson’s Steakhouse, Pensacola, Fla.

Vacations are your time to get away and indulge yourself a little, and in Pensacola, Jackson’s Steakhouse is definitely the place to live it up. If you’re looking forward to a date night as much as the ocean, make your reservations now and drop the kids at the beach house with a babysitter. Serving perfectly done steak alongside a truly extensive selection of excellent wines, this is the ideal place for a date night on holiday. This restaurant is tucked away in a renovated 1860s general store, which lends it a charming historical atmosphere, and the service is attentive without being smothering. If you want a bottle of wine with dinner, try to make your reservations on a Wednesday, when they offer a 50% discount on their wine selection. If you’re not in the mood for steak, try one of their fresh seafood options—like the colossal shrimp or the hickory wood–fired island-style grouper. Find out more at their website.
