Not sure why but you often find the best seafood in places with the worst atmosphere. That's Jake's in downtown Rehoboth. Dark, noisy and meandering with fake wood wobbly tables. But when the rolls arrive, you know you made a good choice. The crabcakes are amazing; fresh and tasty. The filet mignon with crab imperial is the best thing on the menu. Even the corn and mashed potatoes were yummy. Everything is cooked to perfection. Even the fried fish was moist and flavorful. Service is good.

We only went once (why go twice when there are so many other restaurants to choose from?), but it was really bad. Plain atmosphere, haphazard and bored waitress, not one good meal for the four of us (crab cakes, simple grilled fish). Yet there's always a line. Maybe they had an off night?

The waiters were young and occassionally would forget things or do things out of order, but were very friendly and willing to go the extra mile. I loved their petite offerings on the menu so you could try more of their menu or if you weren't very hungry. There are lots of large parties being seated at the restaurants at this beach because it is so family oriented and lots of vacationers with friends. The restaurant had plenty of high chairs and you didn't feel bad if your kid starting whining because you were never alone. Lots of tired kids after being at the beach all day.
I also liked that we only waited for a few minutes for a table even at the busy 6 o clock hour.

My wife and I ate here in early April and we both enjoyed the place very much. Our dinners were delicious, I had a nice tuna steak with pineapple salsa and my wife had fried scallops. The other choices on the menu sounded good too. It's likely that you won't be disappointed. The total for dinner for two with tip was under $50. Not bad.

The restaurant itself was large. On a Sunday night in April we just about had the place to ourself, so needless to say, service was both quick and attentive. I'm sure on a Saturday during the summer this place fills up, but other nights it would seem to be large enough to accomodate you easily. We're glad we ended up here.

Happy travelling.
