This was our first time at Jake's and we will be back! I made a reservation for 4 and we were give a table right next to the window. The ocean views are incredible from the window seats. It was busy on a Sunday afternoon. Service was a little slow but we were not in a hurry. We really liked the food choices. We had the Mixed Seafood Pot, the Achiote Roasted Fish, The Shrimp and the Smoked Salmon Omelet and all of our lunches were delicious. I had the the Mai Tai and it was beautiful, yummy and strong. We topped it off with the large Hula Pie.

We love coming to Jake’s for celebrations. But this time it wasn’t as nice as our other experiences. The women’s bathroom was out of order and that was inconvenient. Our waiter was frazzled and not as pleasant as we remembered him to be. He served everyone at the table, except me. He said he forgot to order my food. I got my food over 15 minutes after the others were served. Tried to order coffee with our dessert, but he said he was busy with another table. At the end he apologized and said he was “slammed” with orders. Hoping next time will be a better experience.

We had the best time. "Little" party at 630 1.31.23. Every single thing was perfect. I ate at Addison 6 months ago, regularly dine at Mr A's. On and on. . . I would have preferred a window. Luck of the draw. Waiter was great, food from the crab cakes , to the cesare & 3 fish entrées with cheesecake + mud pie. My Grey Gooses were spot on also. Loved it.

Visiting from Seattle for the first time, I have to say the experience was absolutely phenomenal. The atmosphere both inside and out and the food was better than anything expected. Making a reservation for a window seat is a must. The bartenders and wait staff didn't leave us wanting for anything. The food was light, fresh, and seasoned to perfection. The valet was prompt and attentive! Definitely a must do in Del Mar.

Ok. Very nice view of the ocean. Portions are very small compared to the price they charge. Also, the waitresses need to learn how to open wine and not spill it. It took forever for her to open our wine then she spilled at least a couple dollars worth on our table (no apologies, discounts given of course).

We have never had a bad meal at Jake’s and the service is always very friendly. And you cannot beat the view. During this visit my friend and I we each had a pear and nut salad with shrimp added. The shrimp had some sort of Cajun seasoning, it was delicious. Jake’s is one of my favorite places to eat in SD.

We were seated behind the one part of the wall facing the ocean that isn’t a window after being reassured we’d have a view, and it was absolutely freezing inside. The food and service were great as always though.

What a disappointing outing to a favorite place. My wife's Caesar salad had no dressing and when we asked for some they brought airlines rather than dressing.. My crab cake was not a patty but rather loose stir fried crab. Our gran daughter's hamburger was overcooked and dry. MacKenzie was a good waitress but overworked with too many tables to overcome kitchen failures

Food was excellent, especially the steak. Valet guys were also excellent. However, we felt rushed from the moment we walked in from the table assignor at the check in area to the busboy to the waitress, to the annoying ladies walking around every 5 minutes with their iPads checking seat availability ( who does that? can’t say I have seen that in other restaurants) . When you order a $100 bottle of wine why rush it?

As usual, food and service were wonderful. One star off for seating us next to a very loud, very disruptive family with singing, screaming, jumping children. They were so loud that we could barely carry on a conversation. Put a real damper on our overall experience.

The food was not as good as it used to be. Salmon sauce was metallic tasting. Ceviche was a unique flavor, no shrimp either. They used to serve bread, there was none offered. Not the same experience we have always had when we have gone many times previously. Disappointed.

We arrived at 5PM to see the spectacular sunset at 5:15! Unfortunately they had no outdoor seating as we had requested. We noted every window in the building was closed, and restaurant was very full. We were told that others felt it was cold, and had no concerns for Influenza/ RSV/ and Covid. Not a mask in the place. As we were not comfortable with this, we left and did take-out elsewhere! Simply a sign of the times. Could have put us next to an open window, or suggested takeout from Jake's, but they were just doing one thing, and it wasn't outs.

We had another amazing meal at Jake's Del Mar. Our server, Velma was outstanding! She provided excellent service and was very attentive. The albacore caesar salad, the salmon caesar salad, and the fish and chips were cooked to perfection and tasted excellent. The view was absolutely gorgeous! We would highly recommend Jake's Del Mar if you want an amazing meal with outstanding service and a gorgeous view.
