Service was excellent (Dean, our server, rocked). Gotta try the calamari strips. I had the corvina sea bass, which was excellent. My wife had the swordfish special, and it was quite possibly the best swordfish preparation I’ve ever had. I’ve never enjoyed swordfish that was as juicy as this was. Quite simply, perfection!

Jake’s is so perfect for a special night! The food was great!! Started w a very generous and tasty crab cake (we shared and it was ample!) followed by a crisp and delish Ceasar salad and hubby had the chowder (it was “okay”) and then our entrees…soooo good…I had the halibut and it was flaky and fab…hubby had the crusted ahi which he thoroughly enjoyed! Our mai tai and old fashioned cocktails were awesome as well! Our server, Mike, was attentive and helpful! We were also delighted to have a card waiting for us at the table to wish us a Happy Anniversary and they treated us to Hula pie! 😋🤩👏🏻 Well done, Jake’s Team!!

Tonight was not a good night for Jake’s. Took 20 minutes to get a waiter to wait on us . (The restaurant was not busy). The waiter was nice once we got him. Food came out cold. Very disappointing. If they are going to charge 45 and up per entree, it would be nice to have our food hot.

Beautiful ambiance, awesome view. Service was excellent from hostess to wait staff. Unfortunately food was average at best. My chicken mediterranean salad had wilted lettuce, very dry, overdone chicken. Fish and chips were OK, slaw looked like it had been made yesterday and fries were not hot. Sorry for the poor review, get a new chef.
