At 6pm The "prime" rib was terrible, tough and barely warm. The au jus was way oversalted. I expected better...We won't be back.

Early dinner on a Saturday. The tenderloin was perfection and the beer-battered fish and chips were delicious. And, of course the chowder was right on point. But the service we experienced was over the top and made our meal even better. So rare to receive that level of attention-not hovering, but timely, friendly and professional. Can't wait to go back.

My girlfriend decided she wanted to try Jakes grill for her birthday and they did not disappoint. Atmosphere was awesome and the host was personable as soon as we walked in. Our waiter was quick, informative and accurate. The food was exceptional and we will be visiting Jakes grill again.

Here is a picture of my receipt from me and my wife eating here. Also staying upstairs at the Sentinel. 2 hours after my meal asked to be let through restaraunt to get to my hotel after being stabbed by someone trying to rob me, they shrugged and said walk the block around. They saw my room card and the blood dripping from my head. Best part they closed the curtains and told me to walk around the block where I was just stabbed. Absolute trash business. My taped and bandaged ear and the receipt from dinner the same night I am staying upstairs. Hey glad you wanted to keep someone safe who had their ear almost cut off and staying in the Sentinel and your customer. Posted my booking and my amenities deposit info for the doubters.
