    First time visiting Jake’s Famous Crawfish and on Valentines Day no less. It was a very warm and welcoming experience. The food was perfect, as was the ambiance and the wait staff. Initially, due to our understanding of the restaurants long history, we weren’t sure what to expect. Perhaps things were going to feel outdated to us. This, however, was not the case. If anything, the rich history adds to the wonderful mystique and overall experience. Excellent all around and we couldn’t be happier about our visit! Excited to return soon!

    For just a simple lunch or a sumptuous dining experience, there is simply nothing that compares with Jake's. We always opt for fish when dining here - last night's meal started with two appetizers, oysters on the half shell and a Dungeness crab leg cocktail. Our entrees were trout and horseradish encrusted steelhead. None of it disappointed!
