              Staff was exceptional - responsive, friendly, helpful. Ambiance is what brought me to the restaurant. We're from out of town and really wanted an ocean view for pur one night out. The food was excellent. Everyone enjoyed their choices while some wished for larger portions.

              Sashimi appetizer, fish tacos and salad for late lunch were excellent. View from our table of dolphins playing in the surf ... priceless.

              I would like to give them more stars, but when we got bumped for a window seat for a "regular" that put a very poor tasting experience in our mouth. They tried to seat us away from the window when there was an open table by the window, and I asked to sit at the window table. When she came back, she ended up sitting another couple and I mentioned that we were here first. She said they had a reservation and I said I had a reservation and I put it in the notes. She said that they don't take reservations for window seats and I said you just told me they had a reservation. I told her I didn't think it was very good form for a restaurant like Jakes to bump one couple for another because of status. They tried to backpedal over it, and eventually sat us in the corner with a partial view. The food was decent, but I don't appreciate being bumped because I'm not a regular.

              I’m a regular at Jake’s. The location and views are what brings me back. Service is friendly and attentive. My only issue is the portions are small. I had the lemon herb fish for lunch and we shared a calamari appetizer. Both were delicious but I was still hungry. In fairness I like to eat but I’m a small person and for the money, I should be full when I leave. So if you have a hearty appetite, plan on ordering more appetizers with lunch.
