Dinner with friends turned out to be a 5 star experience. The restaurant itself is beautiful and warm. The staff is some of the best out there. They were friendly, attentive, and overall made the evening perfect. Last but not least the food was exceptional. My filet was cooked to perfection and everyone else in my party raved about their selections. Highly recommend Jak's.

This has always been one of our top restaurants. We were excited to go to the new location, but after learning our favorite menu items were off. We were pretty bummed. The Skewers & Stuffed Halibut 🤌🏼Also, I don’t understand why you wouldn’t just increase your prices to include the salad and veg. This is something we loved about this steakhouse and set them apart from others. The service was great, and my Filet was top tier. The burger wasn’t as good as I remember and the rest of the food was meh.

This was our first time at the new Jak's location. The ambience was nice and the large booth tables, similar to the old location, give a bit of privacy yet are more comfortable. Food was good as always, but I really wanted to make a note of the service. I wish I had gotten the name of our server. He was wonderful! Jak's feels like casual fine dining. West Seattle loves you! Highly recommend.

Jaks is a go to place for family get togethers. Great food every time, great service every time, and always a great value. You get what you pay for and more. Cannot wait until our next dinner there

The menu, food quality, service, ambiance and rhythm were all top shelf. Exactly what I was craving last night. Thank you for a fantastic meal.

Res was for 6:45. Table was ready a few minutes after we arrived. We ordered drinks but took about 20 min before they were served. On top of that the bar was out of Makers. I was offered Makers 46 but of course an up charge. We ordered dinner when drinks arrived. Salads took another 25/30 min. The Caesar's were not up to par. Dressing not good. We were told we were not the only ones to complain. It was about 7:45 when dinner finally arrived. Our server was polite and assured us our drinks and food would be out shortly. Service very slow, the salads removed from our bill. We go to Jaks several times a year. Not sure will go back anytime soon. Seems they need to get their acts together with service times.

The evening was very disappointing from beginning to end.
Friday 7:30/10-31 a group of 5 that were sat in the back.

We were sat 15 min after our reservation time.
Then we sat for another 10 min before anyone came to our table. It was not that busy in the restaurant.
We had to continue to wave the server down whenever we needed something. I ordered a second martini that he forgot, again having to wave someone down.

Our dinners were auctioned off at the table instead of serving each person. We all ordered steaks that came out at the incorrect temperature. My friend’s ribeye was served very rare when asked for med rare plus. Had to be sent back. Personally I split my meal with my friend, dinner is brought out I am told they do not split plates. Could I have been given an extra plate then? Or did you want us to eat off the plate together while sitting across from on another?

Zero attention to detail…….

If you are going to present yourself as a fine dining steakhouse that serves everything à la cart at these prices the service should match.

The restaurant itself is beautiful and the layout is nice.

I don’t believe any of us will be back unless it’s a happy hour situation.

the old place was great. the new one is claustrophobic, lacks atmosphere, and painfully slow. our server was nice but mostly absent. it felt like a half hour between checking in at times. food was great, but you used to get salad, bread and two sides with a petite filet; now its just meat and one side, and you pay for each extra. i loved this place, but wont be back to this location. worse value, atmosphere and service. so sorry to say it. love the food. i had to go find the server on foot to pay the bill. elderly mom’s birthday dinner kinda tainted by talking about the dining experience instead of life. $400 + tab kinda a bummer

I went to the new location of jaks tonight with my family. I'm glad I had heard of their new location as maps wanted to take me to their old location.
To be fair to jaks my comparison is being based on my past experiences with the old jaks and the new jaks.
The bar area is larger and our group of 4 decided to sit at a table as opposed to bar for conversation purposes.
Looking forward to jaks happy hr Hamburger and fries.
Nope it's off their menu replaced with 3 tiny meat sliders that were pretty good. No fries came with them.
Ordered Mac n cheese for us to share it was good but not very cheesy .
My partner had the prawns very small portion possibly 3 prawns . He did say they were very good.
Service good and even though busy in bar area she never forgot us.
Ambience not that much compared tv over bar for sports.
Anyway I'm happy jaks is still in the junction
