    Jakes is a favorite of ours. The food as usual was excellent. The ahi sashimi and ahi tostadas appetizers were superb. The salmon and Togarishi crusted ahi dinner plates were also superb. The ambiance was lively on a Tuesday but the room was pretty cold even though there were no open windows. I noticed a few women were also putting their jackets back on. Our server was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. Love Jakes for its consistency in excellent meal preparations!

    Waited 40 minutes past our 6pm reserved time for a window table which we were told was opening soon. Even after the wait we weren’t seated at a window. Unnecessarily late for dinner. As always the meal was outstanding.

    Miranda was the best server. I just told her we found out I was cancer free today and she made her experience amazing. We got there at 4 PM and it was too busy and was able to sit by the window. When we left by 5:30 it was definitely full in there but it was good energy. Will definitely come back soon

    We haven’t been to Jake’s in years and decided to go to celebrate my wife’s birthday. Everything was as I remembered it. The food, service and location were amazing. Sidney was our waitstaff and she understood the assignment and made sure to deliver a memorable meal for us. Kudos to T&S Restaurants for NOT being a part of the Landry’s chains! You are special and deserve to remain independent and deliver the highest quality food and service that you have been know to do for 50 years!!

    Went for our anniversary dinner. There was a card thanking us for choosing Jake's for the celebration. Our server was attentive and the food was on point. Enjoying the sunset capped the evening!

    We went there to celebrate 2 birthdays and it was perfect! We got a beautiful table with Ocean View! The service and food was outstanding! The waiter’s name was Julian and he was hilarious and did an amazing service job. I would highly recommend this restaurant!

    Our experience was wonderful start to finish. We came in to celebrate my boyfriend's 30th birthday and were led to a cozy booth with a view of the sunset over the beach outside. Cocktails were fantastic, and we got a couple of apps but the brussel sprouts stole the show. Definitely don't skip them! Our short rib and seared ahi tuna entrees were amazing as well, to the point that we shared both because we couldn't decide which was better. And of course, the staple hula pie for the birthday boy topped off our visit. Service was great the whole way through and Alicia took such great care of us. Thank you Jake's!! We'll definitely be back next time we’re in San Diego.
