My daughter and I were in Portland for my daughter's childhood friend's wedding on September 10th. We arrived on Friday the 9th and wanted to eat at a great restaurant. We asked the people at the hotel where we could go. We both wanted seafood. They told us to go to Jake's. We walked in off the street without a reservation and were sat a wonderful table in the back room full of wonderful Pacific Northwest Paintings. We ordered wine and looked over the menu. The waiter, Mike was most helpful and suggested the stuffed salmon. I am not an adventurous eater and really hate overcooked salmon. I asked him what was in it and he said it was stuffed with shrimp, crab and brie cheese. Well, I figured I loved all of those and who could go wrong with that. My daughter chose the shrimp pasta. When our food arrived and I tried mine it was so good I couldn't believe it. I let Naomi try some and she too loved it. I have never tasted anything so good in all my life. When Mike returned to check on us I told him it was so good I could die now!
