Wow, my husband and I had heard so much about Jake's since moving here and we were excited to finally eat at one of Portland's famous haunts. Haunting it was. I can positively say we were thoroughly disappointed. Our server was rude, inconsistant, inattentive, forgetful and sloppy. The hostess and cocktail server could not have tried harder to make us feel less welcome. Neither wanting to accommodate outside their 'job description'. The food was bland and commerical. The ceasar salad tasted like something out of a bottle. The scallops were drowning in instant mashed potatoes. It was a party of 12 and reservations were made more than a week in advance and they put us at two round tables. Shame on you Jakes. It is a real pity as the surroundings are very ornate, beautiful and stately. Thankfully the decor and our friends were welcoming. We won't be back.
Pros: Beautiful interior
Cons: , bland food
