    Always amazing- service by Sam and even another server to come and give us new napkins when ours were over soiled without asking…. The table they gave us, the taste of the food, the complimentary anniversary dessert…. Really top-notch.

    This was our first visit to Jake’s, and we were so impressed with everything! The food was so delicious, best calamari we’ve had in our lives. The ceviche was so fresh and yummy. My scallops actually melted in my mouth! Oh, and I had Duke’s Mai Tai…best cocktail I’ve had in years! Dennis was so attentive to our every need, even offering to take a pic of us with the beautiful sunset behind us. We absolutely loved watching the sunset while we enjoyed our dinner! Topping off our dinner with the Hula Pie was “icing on the cake”! It was so light, fluffy and just the right amount of chocolate. Overall, we had an amazing experience! I will highly recommend this restaurant to everyone I know. Thank you for a lovely evening!

    It was amazing as always. We are so glad that it opened here and we don’t have to go to San Clemente all the time to enjoy it. One of our favorite restaurants. Definitely recommend it if you’re in a mood to enjoy great Mexican cuisine.

    This place never disappoints. Everything that I have had here has been absolutely delicious. The focaccia is nice and fluffy, the bucatini is so flavorful, the Margherita pizza is perfect, and the Tiramisu makes for a perfect dessert.
