“Great location; not so great food”

Jake's On The Lake

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 skewers and I could hardly get them off the skewers. They were almost raw, quite tasteless, plus there was one vegetable in the mix that I couldn't even identify. Absolutely no seasonings to be found. I kept adding salt to try to get some flavor, but it didn't work. The tomato sauce tasted like it came from a can.

On the plus side, my dinner companions were OK with their dinners -- not great, but definitely OK and no complaints.

I'd probably go back, but only for lunch when you're not risking as much money on the meal and you still get the view.

Yumm! We shared grilled artichoke appetizer & stuffed trout dinner...cost less than $35. Great lake view & plenty of aloha.

Food decent; food overpriced. You're paying for the view, not for the quality of food.

We had a lengthy wait, even though we had reservations for seven.

There are better deals in the area.
