We had a lovely anniversary lunch at Jake's, sitting at an ocean front window table. Fabulous view, great service. We shared the fish tacos and the seafood chowder. The kitchen was nice enough to split the orders into two for no extra charge. Our server also gave us the choice of a complimentary dessert for our anniversary. We chose chocolate peanut butter torte to share. It was delicious, but we couldn’t finish it. We had the Hula Pie at Duke’s in Maui, so we chose to try something else. We did have a taste of Hawaii with a very good Duke’s Mai Tai. Will be back if we visit Del Mar again! Also, use Jake's valet parking, which was $8 at lunch. We used the public parking across the street, which was a minimum of $25 for two hours.

I had a lovely birthday dinner at Jake’s. We arrived in time to watch the sunset over the ocean thru their large windows- beautiful. Our server was prompt, and helpful. We started with the calamari, followed by scallops for me and shrimp and sirloin for my partner. Everything was delightfully prepared and delicious. I’m sure during the summer it gets quite busy but this time of year we enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere.
