Chamber holds ribbon-cutting for The Jac Island Grille and Rum Bar
The Sanibel & Captiva Islands Chamber of Commerce officially welcomed The Jac Island Grille and Rum Bar, at 1223 Periwinkle Way, as Sanibel’s newest eatery on July 11.
Nearly 30 restaurant staffers and chamber members, led by Chamber President John Lai, joined owner Eve Alves to watch the ribbon fly.
“We are really excited to be part of The Jac’s grand opening,” Lai said. “The restaurant fits so well with island living. The menu is diverse, the food is fresh, and I love its farmhouse feel.”
Alves, who also owns the Luna Rossa Italian Grill in Estero, was born and raised in the restaurant business.
“I have always wanted to open a restaurant on Sanibel,” she said. “After 49 years of experience, I am ready to take on this new challenge.”
The Jac Island Grille and Rum Bar is open 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., with the bar remaining open until 2 a.m. Happy Hour is from noon to 6 p.m., and Sunday Brunch is from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
