We had a great time at Jakes! The view was just as amazing as the food. All of our entrees were delicious- I especially loved the halibut and the others loved their steak, pork chop and clam chowder. The hula dessert was huge- it could have fed our entire table of 4! Our server was great but unfortunately her name escapes me.

The service and personnel were good and friendly and the atmosphere was very mountain lodge like. We were the only ones dining inside so it was quiet. The food however left a bit to be desired. The ribeye was fatty and grisly and the monk fish was not prepared as expected. The mashed potatoes were very tasty and the hamburger was good as were the hand made chips and beans. We probably won’t be returning.
