    A lovely restaurant for dinner during the Christmas season. The calamari was crisp. The oysters were fresh, tasting of the sea. The prime rib was juicy and delicious. A fun way to start the evening before the symphony.

    We did the tasting menu and the only complaints are that it was heavy on the salads and there was no dessert. But it was great food and great service. Would definitely recommend

    Excellent service for our table of 17 during the busy holiday season. The drinks and food were fantastic, as usual. Jake's does an outstanding job of handling all-size parties. We appreciate the restaurant ambiance and attitude of the employees. We will be back next year for our holiday dinner and in between for lunches.

    They had me at Focaccia! This restaurant is a total gem. Wonderful intimate ambiance, great staff, nice to see the chefs working away in the open kitchen. The food will keep you coming back - I know I will! I visited with a friend and we shared focaccia bread and three dishes and then each had a dessert - so perfect!!! Top notch fresh ingredients make the difference here - Yum!
