    Jakes was terrific. Their food was excellent and prepared perfectly. We started with salads that were the best tasting salads we have had in a while. I had the filet (7 oz) which was tender and cooked medium as requested. I don't know why they put some type of gravy on top of the steak since it didn't need anything extra. Asparagus was really good (I normally don't like it but this was an exception). Desert was the Hula Pie (perhaps a million calories?). It was the perfect was to end the meal. The service was very good and our waiter was very friendly. We had a table facing the ocean and the water is very close. What a terrific view!!

    Excellent service and very fresh fish! My request for a window table was honored. A lively atmosphere but an extremely loud table of 4 adjacent to us made it hard to hear one another. The waiter’s recommendations and attentiveness was much appreciated. We will gladly come again.

    Always a pleasure to eat at one of the Jake’s, Dukes, Hula Grill properties. We had a fabulous Mother’s Day Brunch. Beautiful ocean view with impeccable service and high quality dishes. Loved our table and the lobster quiche was outstanding, had a nice quantity of lobster. No complaints, only accolades. A 10!

    Chase was very attentive and a great server. The guava daiquiri was my favorite, though. Is there any chance I could duplicate the record at home? Thank you!
