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.

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.
