Our first stop when taking my wife to Tahoe for the first time. We came during their happy hour and got their calamari and fish and chips, both really good! The view, especially during sunset, was also beautiful! Definitely a place to check out and take in the lake!

The food was so, so as was the service. Understand they lost their lease so maybe that impacted everyone’s effort.

Food was good, not great. Service was slow and inconsistent. Atmosphere was decent.
While the food was good, it was overrated compared what we have heard and the cost. There are way better restaurants in Reno for that same price range. Cocktails were not very good at all.
Service was slow. Lots of time waiting for dishes, cocktails, the check, etc.
The view is disappointing. Instead of a great view of the lake, it's the docks and boats. Nit as great of a view as people have stated.
Everyone raves about the Hula pie. It is not what everyone says it should be.
The only thing I have to add is that being from Massachusetts I recognized that the lobster tails were not from Maine lobsters. Customers should verify this before ordering the lobster. Otherwise our dining experience at Jake’s was outstanding!

Unfortunately, our last night dinner at Jake’s was very disappointing. It’s a clear example of how beautiful views can’t make up for bad service and poor food.
1). We mentioned a special celebration, but it was ignored. The hostess sat us at a large 4-top, even though there were several 2-tops available. When I asked to move, she said they were “reserved,” but the restaurant was half empty on a Monday. Later, when I asked the waitress, she claimed it was because there were only two servers working the deck. Either way, it felt dishonest and dismissive. I even asked the hostess and the waiter if the heater could be turned on, but was ignored and a gentleman after we order our food came to turn it on. This was far from the romantic dinner I had planned.
2). The food was just as disappointing, sadly we only order 3 dishes.. Crab cakes-were drowned in mayonnaise which overpowered all flavor…
The clam chowder came full of bacon oil. I don’t eat pork, and the waitress NEVER mentioned it. It’s unacceptable. I order a traditional clam chowder, and when I asked, she brushed me off with, “we’ve been doing it this way for 45 years.” That kind of response was rude and extremely unhelpful.
The poke salad, seriously was oddly sweet and inedible. We count eat it al all.
3). Our drink order was forgotten, and no effort was made to fix anything despite how unhappy we clearly were. We paid nearly $70 for food we couldn’t enjoy and left hungry and frustrated.
Jake’s completely ruined what should have been a special evening.
🌟If you want great food and the beautiful lake views but better, go next door to the restaurant “Christy Hill”. You won’t be disappointed. The food and service there were excellent. We ate dinner the night before and we will definitely come back.
