    Tatum was our server on Christmas Day, and she her service was beyond exceptional! She was very attentive and helpful, very friendly, and we couldn’t be more appreciative to have had such a wonderful experience. She was fantastic. The food was amazing, as it always is. We were very impressed with everything we ordered. From the experimental cocktails to the chef’s recommendations, everything was spot on. Jake’s will always be our go to for Christmas, and top of the list for special occasions.

    The Chilean Seabass was excellent, along with the beet salad and the wonderful flourless chocolate cake for dessert. Our waiter was most helpful in making suggestions for my dietary issues. Sitting next to the window, even on a rainy day was beautiful. I highly recommend Portland City Grill for their outstanding service, excellent food, and of course, the view!
