   Festive vibe and they accommodated our change in party size very professionally. Lots of service people but they seemed to be running around chaotically. I know it is a busy time of year and probably needed lots of extra help. Our waitress was fine but absent. Also I would make sure every waiter has a CLEAN, pressed WHITE shirt on…some looked professional and our looked like she needed a new shirt….i would avoid the warm seafood tower and it is 1/3 cheese…snails were good…the Dungeness crab salad needs a refresh…slopped some shredded crab mixed with dressing on top of the lettuce and threw on two tiny crab legs…not what I remembered…charge more and make it terrific. They did not have much Oregon Pinot wine in stock and we had to go to our third choice. We had fun but the quality of Jake’s Famous has declined…sorry to report

   After work dinner with friends. Not a celebration dinner just in for a good meal. As alway the service was excellent, impressive as it was packed on this Thursday night. We enjoyed four good meals, especially the crab salad, and seafood pasta. The “Crab Stuffed Salmon” was the dish to skip, it was ok, but lacked seasoning and a bit watery. Try the horseradish encrusted instead. Don’t leave without a bite of cheesecake, it’s excellent. If you have not been back to downtown, it’s time to recover the West End. It’s back, fun and safe! Jake’s is a perfect stop.

   Excellent service for our table of 17 during the busy holiday season. The drinks and food were fantastic, as usual. Jake's does an outstanding job of handling all-size parties. We appreciate the restaurant ambiance and attitude of the employees. We will be back next year for our holiday dinner and in between for lunches.

   My favorite restaurant in Portland by far. We were a party of 16 with 3 kids and 2 babies and everything was amazing, all the dishes coming at the same time, really delicious as always. Kids had a blast, adults have enjoyed well made drinks and good conversation with no interruptions. Recommend Jake’s for everyone, best place to eat and enjoy great moments in downtown Portland.

   Great dinner after a Xmas concert. Jake’s is decorated festive for the season. The food is always great and the professional staff is awesome.

    Jake's Famous Crawfish is one of our go-to restaurants in Portland. It's been there forever (actually, more than 100 years) and retains its old-world ambiance and service. Servers all wear short, white jackets and are schooled well, so even the younger ones thrive, and there are several true veterans. The food is prepared perfectly and arrives quickly. It's great for a special occasion or with a special friend. It tends to be busy on weekends, so make a reservation.
