What People Are Saying About Jake's Famous Crawfish
The Editor

In Short – Every night buzzes with well-dressed locals and seafood-seeking tourists in the pleasantly understated dining room. The tiled bar, usually standing room only, is full of loud, lively conversation and the scent of cigars. The daily menu features more than 30 fresh, flown in delicacies including oysters and razor clams. Don't miss the popular creamy clam chowder or the seared ahi. For dessert, the dense bittersweet-chocolate truffle cake seems to be the preferred choice.

Treat myself to a blowout at Jakes every couple years
by CherlNKeith at Citysearch
I love the buzz whenever I go to Jakes. Menus and decor can be emulated, but that certain bit excitement that some places is unique. I always feel like I'm at the top of the world once I walk in. The drinks are made the way they should be, waiters look classy, and the food is outstanding. Plan on a long evening and make some new friends while hanging out in the bars.
- Pros: atmosphere, oysters
- Cons: maybe too crowded sometimes??

Great place to take the boss!
by HauteShopper at Citysearch
Drink - Fresh squeezed grapefruit juice with Cuervo Gold.
Appetizer: Cajun Popcorn
Main Course: It's always a toss-up! You can never go wrong with the Dungeness Crab Leg Saute or the Parmesan Petrole Sole.
Jake's is a not to be missed Portland classic.
- Pros: Fabulously fresh seafood
- Cons: Absolutely none

One of our favorites!
by Beast09 at Citysearch
I've been going here for years. Every meal has been beyond tasty. The wine has affordable options if you aren't looking to spend a lot and they come in 8oz pours, too.
We love the stuffed salmon and crab/artichoke/mushroom sauté. The truffle cake is to die for and we have it EVERY time!
Yes, sometime the service is better than others but it's never been bad.
I'm not a fan of the happy hour items and the HH food isn't as good as the regular menu.
- Pros: Delicious food, good service, affordable wine
- Cons: Not a good last minute dinner without a reservation, HH
