The restaurant is in a great location, and has three patios. It was great to sit outside and be secluded from the main street. The food was very good, and the service excellent and attentive.

We went to Jake’s on March 4, 2023. I had been there a year ago with friends and had a very nice time. When I made the reservation, one of the selections was where we wanted to sit. Since their descriptions of their various seating...areas are too vague (at best) and have no pictures, I had selected the “side patio” which seemed to fit the description of where we sat the prior year. However, when we arrived, we were taken to a platform built on what seemed to be a parking lot with absolutely no atmosphere and a view of a rundown motel and its parking lot. I asked the hostess if we could be moved to the “courtyard” which I now know was where we sat last year. She flatly refused, not very politely at all. When I went back to see her about 15 minutes later, there were 2 empty tables in the courtyard and I again asked if we could me moved. Again, she refused. Over the course of the evening when I went to the rest room and when we left, those 2 tables were still empty. I can understand not being able to move us if all the tables were taken, but they definitely were not. I did not enjoy my meal at all, and I’ll never return since they don’t seem to care at all about accommodating customers who can’t interpret their pictureless seating area descriptions. Many other options in Palm Springs to choose from that are accommodating and friendly.More

Despite having a 7PM reservation and arriving on time, we were told we would have to wait for an undetermined time while waiting for the group at our table to finish, all while 5 or 6 other groups were seated immediately. We had received 3...email reminders of our reservation from the restaurant making a point that we need to be on time of they won't hold our table. The manager had nothing to offer but for us to wait outside, no place to sit with no updates of when we would be seated. We gave up after 30 minute and found another place who treated us like valued customers. Avoid Jakes if you want pleasant night out.More

Nice outdoor space. My sea bass was good. But brussels sprouts was very greasy. But overall we had a good dinner here. The deserts (cakes) were delicious.

We had a nice dinner, and the service was great. Food was good, chocolate orange cake was epic. Only downside is that seating in dining room is almost cafeteria style, super squished together with a booth on one side and chairs on the other.

Can't say enough good things about this restaurant. We sat on the patio and it was a great experience all the way around. Starting with crafted cocktails to appetizers to entrees to fantastic - very big slices - desserts. Our waitress, Ashley, was so great...with our group. Regarding the cocktails, she asked what type of liquor you liked and then she surprised you. This is because their craft cocktail menu has so many options and it was hard to choose. We met the owners too who are super friendly. Definitely will be back again.More

We sat at the bar where we received very good service. The bartender was kind and attentive. We shared the special strawberry salad which was so sweet it tasted like dessert. We also shared the Brussels sprouts seasoned with dates. Very big portion. Very good,...but by the end, I felt like I needed fluoride. The dish was very sweet. I had the tuna which wasn’t overly seasoned. Delicious. My husband had the special halibut which he loved. We didn’t have dessert. Definitely recommended if you are in PSMore

We just needed a meal and we got an experience. The place we had been directed to didn’t look acceptable, so we were wandering looking for lunch. Walked by this place and grabbed one of the open patio tables. The service was excellent. Friendly and...efficient. The food was wonderful. Portions were generous. There was enough of my delicious pasta with shrimp lunch leftover to become my dinner. This is a lovely restaurant. Take a look at the sky high cake selection! Highly recommend this spot.More

My wife and I had dinner here on a Wednesday evening. The service was outstanding from the moment we walked in. The entire team was very attentive. Our server was great and she explained the menu in great detail. The atmosphere as relaxing and offered...a great vibe. The guy playing the guitar had his volume perfect to enjoy live music but still have a conversation, we’ll be back!More

Food is always delicious. This time I had the lobster roll and my partner had the soft shell crab. The cinnamon bun desert was fabulous. Service is always exceptional and we always have a wonderful experience.

We visited for lunch this past Saturday. “The Vaccine” is a must try cocktail. They could use a craft beer selection. The Monte Cubano and Soft Shell Crab sandwiches are great. The truffle fries are excellent and not overly cheesy. Service was outstanding, and I...recommend a reservation, at least on weekends. We are locals and really like Jake’s.More

Heard the sweet sound of soul music coming from the courtyard so ventured in to be greeted by the lovely staff. Had Chicken Milanese followed by scrumptious Lemon Cake and washed down with two fab bottles of ‘Josh’ Prosecco. The staff couldn’t have been more...attentive and made the night a memorable experience 🤩. I highly recommend a visit if you’re in Palm SpringsMore

Celebrated a friend's birthday here because we always enjoy a lunch at Jakes'. We all had the soft Shell Crab BLT which we all enjoyed. It comes with a nice mixed green salad. We all had unsweetened ice tea and instead of waiting for refills...we were served a small pitcher. Desert was the caramel vanilla cake. Delicious and served with a sparkler to make the occasion special. This is our never disappointing go to restaurant.More
