Food and service was outstanding, as always. And dining inside off peak times feels very safe.

Perfect place to go whether it is before a Timbers game, date-night, family gathering or holiday celebration. Recently was there within a group of eight. Everyone ordered different entrees and everyone could not have been happier!!!

I hadn’t eaten at Jakes for several years because I moved out of the state. The fried oysters were exquisite. The star was the Stark street sturgeon that absolutely fabulous !!

Only thing I missed was the three berry cobbler……….

Oysters were superb. The service was attentive, but not smothering.

Perfect upscale seafood experience! Oysters were delicious and great bar. Staff is quick and attentive. We will be back!

Best Cajun outside of NewOrleans

Excellent again

Service was fast and efficient. Restaurant is located in a great area and the food was tasty.

Jake’s is one of the best seafood restaurants in Portland. It’s been around since 1892! They also rank as one of the best happy hour spots in America. The food is always impeccable. It is a little spendy for the crab, lobster and steak dishes, but the experience is unmatched.

Jake’s Crawfish was absolutely amazing. All 6 of us couldn’t stop raving about the food. Specifically, the trout and the filet mignon were the best we’ve ever had. The selection of different meals and drinks fit everyone’s’ needs. The ambiance was stupendous. It was quiet, with light jazz in the background and the decor was beautiful. Finally, the service was on par with the best service we’ve ever had. We will definitely be back to Jake’s when we are in need of a great, fancy meal.

Fantastic ambience and exemplary food as always. Never disappoints!

Amazing food! I took my girlfriend here for her birthday and it was amazing!

Excellent food. The service was a bit slow, but I suppose that's to be expected these days.

Was not disappointed by the recommendation I received to take my business team to Jake's Famous Crawfish. All items ordered were cooked well and had a great flavor. Would definitely eat here again.

Took visiting work mates to Jakes. Always a great meal and our server was awesome!

We had our wedding anniversary dinner here, 10/12/21. Perfect, without a doubt. Amanda was our server, and she provided excellent service, and personable. It's the first time we have been to a very nice dinner since early 2020, because of Covid. It was wonderful. The food was A+; we both had the fish recommendation of the day.
Thank you all.

Jake's Famous Crawfish was everything we were hoping for as visitors to Portland. Ambiance, menu, beer and wine lists, service, and cooking are all terrific. We definitely want to return on our next trip to Portland.

Was great time

Amazing staff

Great food

The atmosphere reflects that the restaurant is almost 130 years old. Service was excellent and the menu has a great selection of fish and seafood.

If you like old time, high end, downtown big city seafood or steakhouses, and I do, this is your place in Portland!

Jake's provided world class service, and excellent food. We enjoyed some amazing dishes. Don, our server was knowledgeable and helpful. There was a family sitting behind us and my seat was conistently being gostled by the children's activity, which was annoying but understandable as it is a family establishment. Even so, this was a highlight during our trip to the area.

It was great.

Great happy hour! Delicious oyster shooters! I will definitely come back for a real dinner sometime. It also wasn't crowded or loud for a Friday afternoon.

Their Bouillabaise had been on the menu for years and is just delectable. Decent wine list, which is not too expensive. Had a delicious Pouilly-Fuisse to go with the seafood. Friendly, attentive service (may we hang your jacket?) and great ambiance. My daughter had the crab-stuffed halibut, another standard Jake's dish, which was also just as good as ever...

We came to Jake’s to celebrate our wedding anniversary and had a wonderful time! Our server, Brett, was very knowledgeable about the wine and food selections and was very fun to talk to. It is always a good time to have dinner here!

The food quality didn’t seem as good as we’ve had in the past. Not sure if there has been a Chef change since the pandemic. The food was just ok. Not the delicious meals we’ve had in the past. Pre pandemic

Great food and service! Will definitely be eating there again.

20th anniversary and picked a good place. We had been there lots of times before and always liked it but not since downtown Portland went to hell. It was nice and we enjoyed our dinner.

We had a wonderful meal at Jake's. The fish dishes were so flavorful and plentiful. We will definitely return again.

I am plotting my return too many delicious choices

My friend and I had a wonderful time. Great food and amazing service!!!

Wonderful old time downtown Portland experience.
Highly recommend. Great service.

It was Tuesday evening, so the restaurant was not full. Our food was excellent, service was friendly and efficient. It was a lovely evening. We feel we should go to Jake’s more often.

Very old school, and very satisfactory; a very comforting space to enjoy a meal with your wife/partner and spend time together.

We were visiting Portland and had a fabulous dinner. The service was great and the food was outstanding.

Wonderful food!

Delicious and reasonable. Nice location. Cozy and casual. Enjoy!

Jake's remains a classic. Staff, decor and ambiance are delightfully old school. Food is very solid, but not cutting edge innovative or extraordinary. Portions are ample, excellent value.
