Still a bit drafty because of need to have open windows. But food and service are excellent.
Always great at Jake’s. Mani Mahi was fresh and delicious. Hulu pie never disappoints.
As always, when we dine at Jake’s we have a delicious meal and excellent service, and you can’t beat the view!
Great!!!! They even brought out a birthday cake which was a surprise!
Very limited menu which is understandable.... looking forward to Jakes getting back to normal.....
Views are fabulous!!
Love this restaurant!!
great food and beautiful view.
Enjoyed a nice girls night out with great drinks and food. Special shout out to Jesse - our bartender/server - he really gave great service and made the evening that much more fun! We loved the Paloma's and Orange Blossom marg - thanks Jesse! Food is consistently good every time. We'll be back!
The food was excellent and the service was superb. We have been going to Jake's for many years and they never disappoint us. The ocean views are amazing and to be there for sunset is the best.
Jesse was incredible!!!
A bit on the cold side, atmospherically speaking, because of Covid-19 requirements, but overall excellent service and food. Still a great view of the Ocean Pacific.
Limited food menu . I liked your old menu
The location is spectacular, service is excellent, and food is good. The prices are a bit high but based on the view it is worth it!
Great service, great food and a view that can’t be beat. Love Jake’s.
Great view and food. Highly recommend the scallops and the sorbet.
Waited a long time on food though it was not super busy and the French fries with the burgers were only room temp.
Disappointing because we continue to support restaurants during the pandemic by “take out” but wanted to “dine in” at Jakes since they could provide outdoor seating. I think these things can be easily changed and i think it’s important that they are more careful of food service.
Thank you

Great atmosphere, food & service!
Always a great experience even on the boggest date night of the year
Absolutely an amazing restaurant. 5 star quality but without the price of a 5 star. Staff was extremely friendly and the environment was just amazing. Caught the sunset just in time and the view is amazing. Very romantic place to dine in at. Soo much better than Mister A’s
We were seated on time to a great ocean view table. The staff was very courteous and knowledgeable about the menu. When the wine and food arrived, both were great. After our meal, we went for a walk on the beach, then returned for some hula pie on the patio. All in all, a great experience. We will certainly be returning soon!
Excellent service, from the valet, to the hostess and our server. The food and ambiance were superb! Looking forward to going again soon!
Great view, relaxing and romantic
Always fabulous!!

One of our favorite restaurants
Jake's is always great ! The food is incredible and the view is amazing.
The food was fantastic, as always. I had the Mahi special catch of the day. It was cooked perfectly. My wife had the filet mignon, which came with a great scallop potato side. Also, the sea food chowder was amazing. Can't recommend Jakes enough. Always a delight to go there.
ONE MUST BE PREPARED TO ENJOY THE VIEW AND. BUNDLE UP WITH THE WINDOWS PROVIDING NATURAL VENTILATION. WE WERE VERY CHILLY AND SHOULD HAVE ASKED FOR A LESS BREEZY TABLE. WE WERE OFFERED TWO CHOICES OF HOUSE WINE AND LIKED THE ONE WE SELECTED. OUR WAITER DENNIS WAS DELIGHTFUL AND WE ENJOYED HIS HUMOR AND GOOD SERVICE. THE AHI TUNA BOWL WAS FRESH AND FLAVORFUL, AND THE FISH TACOS. THE TURKEY SANDWICH WAS BIG WITH CHIPS TO ENJOY AND THE CHICKEN SALAD WAS FULL OF FLAVOR AS WELL. WE WOULD HAVE ORDERED THE HULA PIE BUT WERE TO COLD TO ENJOY. ITS A GREAT PLACE, GOOD FOOD AND SERVICE.
Jake's was amazing! I told them it was my husband's birthday and the host had a birthday card at the table waiting for him. It was so nice. Our service was beyond outstanding and I can't wait to go back!
Wonderful setting, great food with tremendous service!
Was decent food with great views. The service was pretty good but when a member of our table had an issue with food and needed to change we wound up paying for 2 meals even though the issue was not on our part but on over cooked meat. The price for the value was a bit high. I would have expected to pay half of what I did for the experience we had. Feels cheaper than it is. May or may not be back, very average experience.
Unfortunately do to Covid-19 requirements, it was very cold in the dining area. Other than that, everything else was enjoyable.
