  What an amazing meal we had to go. I wish I had more time to eat in as this historic and world famous location is filled with amazing food. When they say the dish has crab, they mean it! Every thing was delicious. And even though I had minor issues with billing and a slice of missing chocolate truffle cake that was ordered as part of our dinner for my wife’s birthday. The meal did not disappoint. And I am sure we will dine in next time. Maybe even try to order the slice of cake too!

  Having grown up in Portland I frequented this spot often. Im so happy that 25yrs later they are still doing a wonderful job! Lauren at the bar is FANTASTIC and the food was fresh and tasty as I remember it! I have so many fond memories here and thrilled that nothing has been compromised. Great job Jake's!!!!

  Fantastic first night in Portland! We came in with our toddler after a 9-hour travel day and Jake’s delivered on every front. The place has a unique, old-timey feel — tons of character, right down to the bathroom tucked behind a vintage phone booth. The art and paintings on the walls are super cool and relevant to the area, adding to the whole atmosphere. Super cool touch throughout. The warm sourdough came out fresh and perfectly sour — a great start. We shared oysters across all four varieties, and the crab bisque (Carla’s surprise pick) was rich and delicious. The étouffée might be the best I’ve had outside of New Orleans — genuinely that good. My wife’s seafood fettuccine was excellent too. Both entrées were standouts. Special shoutout to our server Carla — warm, attentive, and she made us feel welcome even with a little one in tow. A classic Portland seafood spot with real charm and character that lives up to the reputation. We’ll be back!

  Everything here was perfection. Service was amazing. The food was so delicious. We even had a manager stop by to make sure the sauce was correct on my dish.

  Food is still good, but covid is still affecting the integrity of the name. Service was sub par and dessert was bland. I used to frequent this restaurant a lot;however, the value for the experience has suffered tremendously. Jake would be disappointed!
