    My third dinner here over 13 years. The first was so good I always try to get here when i’m in Portland. Food, cocktails, wine list, and service are superb. The decor provides great atmosphere. The crab stuffed salmon is absolutely amazing. Easy walking distance from many downtown hotels.

    All of our four dinners were excellent and the desserts were off-the-charts excellent. But our server was the best part of the evening. What a great sense of humor (he has worked there for twenty years) and accommodating. This is the reason that Jake's Crawfish is my go-to place.

    Excellent service from Danny. One of the best Crab Louie’s I’ve had. We sat in the back of the restaurant which I’ve not done before and it was lovely. Quiet and private but still part of the Jake’s vibe.

    Ordered steelhead with baby shrimp, and was excited to try it. Received swordfish with jalapeño salsa that was way too spicy for me. Sent it back with the waiter and settled for a prawn cocktail, so I didn’t have to wait for a cooked meal. Everyone else already received hot food. Not great for a nice dinner out, & not much was done to compensate for the mistake. I wasn’t charged for the hot meal, but I never actually received what I ordered. They should have comped me a meal or a dessert. We visit Jake’s several times a year, & this was a huge disappointment.
