Reviews for Jake's On The Lake in Tahoe City, CA
Food was excellent. We had lunch there on a Saturday and sat out by the lake. It was a day that the lake was shrouded in smoke... from the Mosquito Fire but it was still a pleasant experience. The Buratta/Tomato salad was great and the fried artichoke heartswere spectacular too. Food was beautifully prepared and served hot from the kitchen. Would definitely recommend. Went back tothe future when we saw this Delorean in the parking lot also. Read more
(FYI: Dog friendly ???? for lunch only, on the deck.) Yesterday was our first visit to Jake’s, and there’s no way I... wasn’t going to leave a glowing review about one of the most excellent dinners I’ve had in many moons. Hostess Olivia andservers Chrissy & Trent were standouts providing excellent service. You can tell the owner really cares about hiring the rightpeople for each job, because they all obviously took a lot of pride in the work they did, giving each customer the best possibleexperience. We ordered the braised short ribs & shared the Dungeness crab cakes as a starter. Both were the kind of dishesthat just send you into the beautiful blue sky, floating like a cloud with a giant smile on your face. (The braised short ribswere so tender, you could eat them with just a fork.) Culinary excellence! We will definitely be back. Multiple times, ifpossible! ?????? (Note regarding the photo with this review… The braised short rib portion was so generous, we took half of ithome to eat the next night. Reheated low & slow… Superb!) Read more
We hadn't been there in years and didn't quite know what to expect but as usual it did not disappoint. The drinks are off the... hook but the tacos are out of this world. It was a Sunday afternoon and we were able to walk right in and get seats on the deck. Read more
View from 2nd floor outside was spectacular. Service was great and all the staff were friendly. Food was good but not as great... as I expected for the price. Bison filet was really good, tender, lots of flavor, but it was barley warm. Kids salmon was reallygood, vegetables were asparagus spears that were very large, seemed strange for a kids meal. Apple pipe alamode (gluten freeonly available) was ok, would be better with a crust. Menu option are a little slim too. Overall it was really good, just notgreat. I would come back. Read more
Delicious meal with a gorgeous back drop! Nina made our dining experience fun and easy. The food was spectacular and the drinks... were tasty with a wide variety. Sit outside if you have the opportunity and go in the evening to watch the sunset, you won’tbelieve it. Read more
Had the best meal of our trip. The beef short ribs were great. Tender, root vegetable melody with spinach. So yummy. Great... outdoor dining on the deck. Read more
Truly amazing experience. We were seated right on the lakefront with gorgeous sunset views, got delicious French wine, and... amazing food.. we had appetizers, entrees, and dessert, all for under $100 a head. The staff was great and made the experiencebetter. I Highly, highly recommend this restaurant if you are around! Read more
Come for the ambiance and the lake views but not so much the food. It's your standard American fare, heavy on the sauces, it... won't disappoint but it won't thrill. That being said, save room for dessert, cause that's where the calories are worth it! Read more
