I’m a regular at Jake’s. The location and views are what brings me back. Service is friendly and attentive. My only issue is the portions are small. I had the lemon herb fish for lunch and we shared a calamari appetizer. Both were delicious but I was still hungry. In fairness I like to eat but I’m a small person and for the money, I should be full when I leave. So if you have a hearty appetite, plan on ordering more appetizers with lunch.

Reservation is as easy and there was no wait, ambience was perfect, food was great and service was excellent. Three of us had the prime rib (very tasty and cooked to perfection), one had the mahi mahi and loved it, and the other one had a vegan dish and very happy with it. We shared the calamari and Brussels sprouts and had the hula pie, peanut butter torte, pumpkin pie - all excellent. Thank you for staying open for Thanksgiving.

Our main meal was very good. My husband ordered prime rib and it came exactly to his liking and was delicious. Surprisingly my seafood pot was not served with bread. It had a delicious saffron broth, seafood base, that begged for dipping. The medley of seafood from lobster to shrimp muscles and several pieces of fish made for a potpourri of flavors that complimented one another perfectly. A very decadent and filling dish. We did enjoy the beautiful views of the pacific, the courteous and attentive servers and the food was great. Thank you, Jakes
