Jake's, one of the oldest restaurants in Portland, never disappoints with both excellent food and service. Be assured the seafood is always fresh and done to perfection.

We were in a party of five on business. We were participants in just one of several conventions in Portland that weekend and expected that dinner may take longer than usual. We made reservations through the concierge at our hotel. We arrived early, had a drink at the bar which was busy but not "crowded". We were seated in a...

I went to Jake's Crawfish to celebrate family visiting from out of town. We were seated in the section of one of the most awful servers I have had the displeasure of being waited on in quite some time. She was rude, short, and condescending. One relative has a medical diet and when asked, for example, if an item had...

Three of us had dinner at Jakes Famous tonight. First of all the room they tried to seat us in was frigid. We refused to sit in the room. They moved us to a different room which was better. However, our server was one of the worst any of us have had in years. She was totally inattentive, only refilled...

It's a bit expensive (being one of the best seafood restaurants in the world, it's said), but the food and service are really outstanding.

My husband and I accompanied by my daughter enjoyed a great Mother's Day brunch at Jake's Famous Crawfish. I had the Quiche Lorraine, my daughter had the Brioche French Toast and my husband had a Seafood egg dish. Everything was delicious including the sweet breads served before the meal.
The service was impeccable, the restaurant's decor was reminiscent of old...

I had the Mahi-Mahi and it was excellent. We showed up impromptu with 7 folks in our party and we were seated very quickly with drinks in hand in a very short amount of time. If you're looking for fresh, tasty seafood, this is definitely a "win".

When we want to give someone a great Portland dinner, we take them to Jake's. Crawfish house for the younger crowd and Jake's Grill for the more mature set. Always great for either!

Went looking for a steak house and found Jake's instead. This was a terrific surprise, as it was my last night in Portland. I had the CrabCakes for Dinner and found them very well made. The others in my party had various dishes and soups. All of them were very happy with the dish they choose. I would highly reccomend...
