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

Citysearch
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??
