    Another fantastic experience at Jake’s. Started the evening with a fabulous Mai Tai. From there, we enjoyed the excellent Calamari and the Field Greens with strawberries, candied walnuts and goat cheese. Our entrees were exceptional — we both enjoyed the Lemon Garlic Roasted Fish (at the recommendation of our server Dean, who was absolutely spectacular). Across the board, Jake’s continues to rock. We can’t wait until our next visit.

    Jake’s was a crowd pleaser for all three generations. Family of five for our sons 19th Birthday. Everyone loved their meal from the calamari to the salads to the entrees and of course the Hula Pie.

    Arrived for our 1:45 pm reservation a few minutes early and were told to wait for our table. 4-5 parties walked in while we were waiting asking to be seated for a group of 2, 6, etc., were told that there was no wait, were all seated before us. We ended up being seated closer to 1:55 pm. The hostess/front desk staff were dismissive and didn’t acknowledge us or the wait.

    Amazing service and great food but very loud and extremely crowded! People were waiting for tables and just standing around lining the inside of the restaurant-I literally had to ask someone behind me to move so I could get up from my table to use the bathroom! The bar area was also very crowded and people were very loud to where we couldn’t hear each other at our table. Not too sure we’ll be back.

    We celebrated a birthday and received a complimentary dessert and a birthday card on our table. The food and service were excellent and made our evening special. We love Jake's.
