I love this place but recently have had bad dining experiences. The waiters are no nonsense and not your usual schmoozer’s. With Jakes historical currency and reputation, they don't have to be. The last time I went though, our waiter looked like a ghost - literally. He was pale and sickly looking. The wine we wanted was not available and the waiter told us to "go back to square one" and walked off. No apology and no recommendation. He disappeared for 10-15 minutes at a time. One of the potatoes that came with my meal had a dark section the size of my thumb. When I pointed it out, he said that it was probably a bad spot on the potato. He said not to worry 'cause it’s not putrid, just bad. I told him that he needed to bring it up to the attention of the chef so he could keep an eye for what is coming out of the kitchen. He came back and said that the consensus in the kitchen was that it was just a bad spot, that’s all. I would like to suggest the owners spend some time updating their people, process and food or they are going right back where they came from, the past.
Pros: location, decor
Cons: waiters, food
