I've been eating at Jakes for years - whenever we'd come into town (used to do ski leases every year) it seemed we'd stop in for a dinner. Jake's rack of lamb was always a favorite. I haven't made it to Tahoe City for a couple years and was glad to see with so many other restaurants come and gone... more

Stopped in by chance while driving around the lake. It was the perfect place to view the lake and the adjacent marina, sailboats and powerboats coming and going. Casual but nicely done. Clearly Mgt. was emphasizing service. more

We kept hearing how great this place was. It was kind of a cross between a loud bar, and a casual dining place. The food was pretty decent, it's just not a place for a romantic dinner, or special occasion. We'd probably try it again, and with lower expectations, it would probably be a good place to eat. It was... more

We were scheduled for a Tuesday morning sailboat tour of Lake Tahoe that was canceled and Jake's was conveniently located in the little mall adjacent to the sailboat pier, which means it is right on the lake. The restaurant does not open until 11:30 am but the mall is a delight to go through too with some great clothing stores,... more

Great views on Lake Tahoe from most tables inside the restaurant, summer time seating on the deck. Food is consistently excellent. Prices consistent with a high end restaurant but fair. One of our long time favorites in Tahoe City for a special dinner or lunch. more

Reasonable wait - especially if you take a table in the bar. (We received excellent service.) Of all things - clam chowder in Tahoe? It was delicious though. They serve a nice mulled wine. Our server brought me a little taster of a wine on their menu - that closed the deal because it was a nice change from your... more

It has a good reputation but the food is often unimpressive and the staff can be (although not always) unfriendly. more

The location is great. The outside deck overlooking the water is great. The full moon the night we were there was magnificent. Sadly, my meal was not so good. I ordered something which should have been easy -- fettucini with vegetables and tomato sauce. The fettucini were the only good part; at least they were cooked. The vegetables came on... more
