Jake's is a casual, upscale European-style bistro nestled in a secluded courtyard at the epicenter of the Mid-Century Uptown design district of Palm Springs.

Plush high-backed semicircular banquettes surround our dining room and offer comfortable and private seating.

    Another delightful celebration meal at Copley's. Our cocktails were smooth and perfect: Henrietta and a G&T. Generous wines pours of the excellent Deux Roches white. The lobster and shrimp ceviche had the right level of kick in the red salsa, and the house Caesar was unique and crisply fresh as usual. Both our entrees were perfectly done - one swordfish and one tuna special. And the chocolate soufflé was a sumptuous finish with the decadent salted caramel ice cream. All with attentive service from Eric. LOVE this place.

    My wife and I have been regulars at Jake’s for a long time. So we have experienced it with original owners and new owners. Ron & Scott continue to up their standards of quality, never taking anything for granted. We were there yesterday and their Brunch menu is truly awesome. So many great dishes to choose from. And the Service is wonderful as always. Ron and Scott care so much and it’s reflected in just how great the staff shows their happiness. Never missing a moment to help. Jake’s dinner menu and lunch menu are equally great. Jake’s has definitely become one of Palm Springs’ premier restaurants. They of course get lots of visitors to eat there but truly love and cater to locals to be happy.

    Our waiter was very personable and gave us great recommendations on what food and wine/drinks to get. He was attentive and the service was prompt. The sushi was out of this world! Very unique rolls, fresh fish, and probably the best sushi I’ve ever eaten! Will definitely go back.
