Id heard women dining alone feel they receive lesser service than men. I didnt buy that until I wandered into Jakes with my girlfriend. All we wanted was to share a meal and a laugh. What we got was appalling service from a waiter whose face was so pinched one could only assume he constantly smelled something bad. He wouldnt pepper our salad, rolled eyes when we ordered a salad to split (we also ordered two expensive entrees). When we requested a cooler for the white wine hed left sitting on the table, he ceremoniously slammed down the cooler (I think that was supposed to learn us). The best part though was the manager, who upon hearing my complaint could only reply, Hes aloof. Priceless. The food's great but who needs the aloof service? Better go some place else; PDX has plenty of restaurants serving great food by happy servers.
Pros: Food, Location
Cons: Very poor service, Management indifferen
