Loved old school ambience with wood paneled walls.
Waitstaff friendly and accommodating. Food good.
Service good with one major issue at end of meal - told waitress we had to make a show, so would she bring check with dessert so we could pay right away, which she did - but then we waited forever for her to come pick it up - we actually had to get up and find her! - no apology, and in fact she seemed annoyed!
We did make the show, but just barely and it was very stressful.
Bread was extremely stale - would have thought this would have been corrected with all the numerous previous comments!

The food was wonderful I really enjoyed your chowder .See you again

Disappointed in my pasta dish as it was to creamy. It was ordered without meat or fish. We would like to see more vegetarian options on the menu.

My partner was quite delighted with her entree' and we were both pleased with the dessert.

As always, great food, great service and the price is in the range that matches the value.

Waitress Monica forgot our cocktails. When they finally arrived 35 mins after we ordered they were so pathetically weak. Nearly water. She exchange it but the second drink water just as bad. So disappointed.

We ordered oysters in the half shell. We wanted enough for three people. When our appetizer arrived it was only six oysters. Her assessment and recommendation for quantity was poor.

She did give us two mini slices of torte I think as an apology. She brought us only two tiny slivers for three people.

The experience was the poorest I’ve experienced in a year at Jakes. my friends and I frequent Jakes weekly for happy hour in the summer.

I think we deserve drinks on the house or comped a meal or two.

Hope next experience redeems Jake’s.

Thank you,

Absolutely incredible food and drinks. The service was top notch as well. Can’t wait to go back again

The food was ok but overpriced. The bread was stale and arrived very, very late. The server seemed annoyed with us and wouldn’t allow my friend to order his meal while she was taking our appetizer orders. My crab Louis salad was not good. Lots of crab but it was served on top of ice berg lettuce that was cut so finely it had the same texture as the crab and the dressing tasted like ketchup.

Classy & classic ambiance (music, lighting, etc.) Rob gave us great service throughout our meal. Cozy holiday décor.

Whenever we are in Portland we stop at Jakes Crayfish. The seafood is the freshest. Our schedule only allowed us to enjoy lunch. We both carried away 1/2 our meal and reheated them for dinner. The service was excellent the only negative was that their wonderful sourdough bread seemed stale. Since it was lunch we passed on dessert. Our favorite is usually the chocolate bag…filled with mousse, whipped cream, and fresh berries. Guess we’ll have to save that for our next trip.

Jake’s Crawfish is our go to for great food in a great atmosphere. Yesterday was made even more special because of our great server, Tess. Also, a shout out for Amber who is a real asset to the bar at Jake’s.

Very nice, elegant, and traditional ambience. Food is high quality and the chef knows what he is doing. Staff very serviceable and knowledgeable. I would eat at Jake's again any time.

Great place to have drinks and fabulous seafood! Service was wonderful!

It was very loud. Could hardly have a conversation. Food was excellent.

great place to eat and food was good, but service was lacking. The waitstaff did not know basic information about was in the food also had to wait for water several times.

Great servers

On a busy Thanksgiving we had great food and were served by a cheerful waiter. Overall a lovely experience.

We went on Thanksgiving which was also my birthday! The food was delicious and the service superb. I am not from the Portland area, but when I am back I will return to Jake’s!

Always 5 stars Why the character minuim xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Enjoyed the food and the attentive service. Very lively, traditional Portland restaurant. From our arrival to when we left the restaurant, were handled respectfully and professional.

We love Jake’s. They have the best food ever and our dinner at Thanksgiving was excellent. We will continue to visit Jake’s for dining out as they never disappoint. I highly recommend them to anyone.

Excellent service and food. Thank you for making our Thanksgiving special.

The service was outstanding. The food was really good and were served timely and it was great to have the option of choosing from the regular menu or the Thanksgiving one.

Excellent service in spite of it being quite busy.

This was the first time and I’ve lived in Portland the majority of my life. I was very impressed by our waiter and the food was so good! I look forward to going again.

Fabulous Thanksgiving dinner…Both a delicious traditional offering AND Jake’s “regular” menu. The freshest seafood-crab, oysters, shrimp-prepared perfectly! Also, each dish whether an appetizer or an entree was attractively presented.
Plan to return next week for more seafood!

We ordered from the regular menu for Thanksgiving dinner. Our table was available even though we arrived a bit early, service was attentive and not at all rushed for a busy holiday. The food was exquisite!

We were there for the Thanksgiving dinner. Everything was the usual Jake’s greatness, but the food was so salty as to be inedible. It was disappointing.

Great food and service fir Thanksgiving! Pumpkin pie not good tho.

Thanksgiving
Food was very mediocre
Bread was cold
Fish was not interesting
Escargot forgetable
Chocolate mouse dessert tasted like pudding out of a box
Price was high for poor quality

Love the overall experience, the old world feel, great food and unique cocktails.

Recently dined at Jake’s. They have a large menu and wine list, with lots of options for ordering. My dinner was delicious, portions were generous. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable about seafood availability and wine. The service was top notch. Love the dark wood interior, the old Portland ambiance and music. Great experience.

I the food was excellent. So was the friendly and efficient staff. The prices were reasonable and the decor was fantastic. All together it was a very pleasant meal.

Always wonderful

Took a friend there, we had a great lunch. Been the same since I first went there 55 years ago while in college. Nice way to impress out-of-towners.

Classic and consistent. Always worth the price and experience not to be missed.

Amazing experience. We came for my best friends Bachelorette party! Our waiter Rob was an absolute gem! He made the night so wonderful and special. Very happy we got him as our waiter. The food was outstanding as well. We all left full and happy. Thanks for the great night!

The food here was fantastic. My friend and I were so excited that the stuffed halibut was gluten free. And it did not disappoint. I was less impressed with the side dishes but hey, the seafood portion was large and I filled up on that easily. The service also left a bit to be desired, though I still made sure to tip 20% anyway. It was quite busy so I gave them the benefit of the doubt. However, a couple of the wait staff made odd comments that were supposed to be humorous but just didn’t fit the setting. One waiter jumped into our conversation at an odd time, and another said “go get it at the bar” when a friend ordered another drink. He was joking, I guess, because he did bring the drink. But it felt off. When you have these menu prices and the waiters are clearly well trained in high-end dining etiquette, comments like those are off-putting. It’s not a Red Lobster. It also took awhile to get the check and in general we weren’t checked on enough. We had to flag someone for second drinks and the check. Just a tip, don’t forget that the more drinks one buys, the more they spend, and the higher the 20% tip gets. I would go here again though. The seafood was stellar, and worth the prices.

Had Jake's etouffee, and it was amazing. Great flavor. My wife had the flat iron steak and it was perfectly cooked. Have been going to Jake's for many years, and tonight's meal validated why we keep coming back. Excellent!

Jake’s is a classic. Always excellent food and service.
The only complaint I have is Jake’s discontinued valet parking.
I know it is difficult with the tents on Stark, however with the parking garage in the building open at best erratically, valet parking needs to return.

Very pleased with our experience, the appetizers and entrees were delicious! I’ll definitely be back!
