Jake's Famous Crawfish

I went out with a friend who really likes crawfish, which I don't. I was really pleased they also offered non-fish dishes like simple cheeseburger and fries. Both were great. Their beef was well-cooked. The atmosphere was great, the place looks like a high-end restaurant. I think I'm moderately likely to visit again if I come to the west coast again. I also remember my friend being quite satisfied.

This place was great! Not mind-blowing but still a very good place to have lunch/dinner. I had the clam chowder which was one of the best I ever had and the caesar salad. I know caesar salad is pretty basic already but theirs was just okay. The shrimp and wild mushroom fettuccini was very good. The calamari was probably the star of the show for me; very light and crispy and delicious!

Decided to visit Jake's last night with an old friend visiting from out of town. It's been a while since my last visit, but I was pleasantly surprised with the outcome. Our server, Stephanie, was as professional and personable as any one could ask. She provided friendly banter while we ordered and waited for our food. The food came fast and was very tasty. The atmosphere was a glimpse of old Portland and something that's truly hard to find these days. Will be returning more often, as the city continues to clean itself up.

Our waiter was awesome! We loved his style of service where he left us alone to enjoy each other, but he was always back right when we needed him! I got seafood alfredo, and my boyfriend got the bouillabaisse. Both were amazing! We didn't have anything left to take home, and they were big portions. We tried escargot for the 1st time, it was delicious!! They are similar to clams. Don't shy away! Be ware it's really hard to turn down dessert since they bring a whole tray of desserts right to your table to show off what's on the menu. Their key lime pie is very good 🤤 it's a great place for a really nice date! Oh, also, pictured is a raspberry mule. It's a very tasty drink if you like a mule!

Enjoyed spicy chilled prawn appetizer. 1lb was perfect for 2 people 2nd visit for happy hour Great items on the happy hour menu! We had mussels, crab dip, calamari. Great for two people. We also did a pound of crawfish and dozen oysters on the regular menu. Yummy spice flavor to crawfish. Crab dip was the best for the price. Service was slow though…. 3rd visit: came here for our anniversary. Had the crab tortellini and seafood bouillabaisse. Everything tasted fantastic!

Am told Jake's is iconic. Food was excellent, as was the service. Had the escargot, the Dungeness, the French onion and the chx marsala. Restaurant was a little dated, but it was preferred for the bar area. Menu was pricey but not too bad. Lack of parking and trying to get to Jake's after by foot lowered the rating.
