Local here. I like to eat good food and Jake's has it. The atmosphere is nice. Lots of nautical hardwood with high gloss lacquer. Even with the nice decor it can be both casual or a formal place- It's California casual. Lunch is awesome because you get the great views of the beach with opened windows to catch the breeze... more

Jake's overlooks the beach in Del Mar. We were there in the late afternoon and really enjoyed their Bistro menu. You can't beat the $5 hand crafted burgers or the seafood appetizers. We sat on the patio and enjoyed excellent service and a nice ocean breeze. While we were not there for a formal dinner it was apparent that the... more

I was at the beach this morning and I found that the public restroom next to this restaurant is under construction, so I could not use it. Knowing the fact that I was pregnant meaning I need to use restroom often I had to go to this restaurant and I explained this to the hostess(the laday). She refused letting me... more

To say that Jake's has an ocean view is understated, it is "ON" the water, making it seem as though the waves are going to toll right up to the windows. The architecture is cool, I read the history of Jake's on the back of the menu it is part of an original hotel built around 1910 for Hollywood's rich... more

Just had dinner last night. The best calamari (dusted in macadamia nuts) with a most delicious sauce. Also had Barramundi and Sea Bass. Both were the best preperations we have ever experienced. It's a wow with very savy personnel. Happy hour is from 4-6PM with lower priced appetizers (the calamari is one of them) Don't miss this spot and get... more

We live locally and thought we would have a change and eat at Jakes - something that we haven't done for ages. We were sorely disappointed, as this restaurant has really gone down hill and is certainly no where near as good as it used to be. It seemed slightly shabby. We were seated in the 'addition' overlooking the sea.... more
