   While visiting Portland for a few days, we had dinner at 3 different restaurants. Food was quite good in all, but what separated Jakes from the others was our server, Daisha. She is a true pro, friendly, efficient, organized. All courses and drinks arrived with appropriate timing, plates were cleared, silverware replaced. Extremely nice to chat with as well. Ask for Daisha!

   Jake's is always good -- I have been dining here for 20 years and it never disappoints.

   I had a business lunch and the server was mindful of interrupting. She was very thoughtful. As usual, the food was quite good as well.

   We’ve enjoyed Jake’s in the past, especially their brunch, so I made a reservation and even called ahead to confirm they’d be offering their regular menu for Easter (brunch is typically available from 10am–4pm on weekends). I was told yes—the regular menu would be served, along with some holiday specials. However, when we arrived, it was their regular DINNER menu (usually offered after 5pm), with only a few brunch items added. Steak and seafood weren’t what we were hoping for at 11:30am. The food was fine, but to be honest, it felt a bit off being seated in the hotel lobby as overflow instead of in the restaurant itself. This actually happened once before on Mother’s Day, and in hindsight, I wish I had remembered that. We’ll probably skip Jake’s on holidays moving forward, but would gladly return on a regular day when things feel more in rhythm.
