    Amazing as always! We make it a point to come to Jake’s every time we are in the city. The Wings and Broccolini are amazing! Service is usually a touch slow but that’s only because they are always busy!

    Thanks for the awesome review, Alexis! We're thrilled to hear you love our Wings and Broccolini and I could not be happier to hear your daughter had such a wonderful special visit. We appreciate your understanding about the busy times, and we look forward to welcoming you back to Jake's on your next visit!

    Good food and nice vibe. They used to have a baked potato on the menu that was SO good. Really sad it’s not on there anymore. Bring it back! Definitely recommend Jake’s.

    Nice spot, server was nice enough but not very attentive. Everyone seemed a bit overwhelmed. My salad came out incorrectly but still got charged extra for the dressing I asked for. Overall ok, pricey even for HH. Nothing special to bring me back.
