    You’ll find the food at Jake’s is something very special with dishes you will not find anywhere else. The Crab Sauté is a family favorite and has blown away many a guest that we’ve brought from out of town. I had the bouillabaisse last night and it too was amazing. The local Steelhead has several award winning variations. The appetizers are also wonderful. The drinks are special too. Go—you won’t be disappointed!!

    Wedding Anniversary Celebration! We arrived and waited in the lounge for a window table and are so glad we did. Wonderful view! We can recommend the Lobster Bisque and the Lamp Chops. Our server, Daniel, was marvelous and was supported by Laurel, who was a gem. Bethany in the lounge was very good and really took care of us.

    A lovely restaurant for dinner during the Christmas season. The calamari was crisp. The oysters were fresh, tasting of the sea. The prime rib was juicy and delicious. A fun way to start the evening before the symphony.
