My first time dining at Jakes Crawfish and everything was great. But I'm not that hard to please - I just want very good food with very good service in a nice atmosphere. And I got all of that. I also think that Jakes has an excellent menu (I had the grilled Steelhead - and I loved it!) I got what I expected - a very nice civilized meal. The waitress was perfect, the wine was good. Zero complaints here. My party was seated in the back room of the dining area, which was perfect. I think that the back room is probably the quietest area of the restaurant as it is the most removed from the bar area. (I bring this noise thing up as I had previously eaten at the Portland Steak and Chophouse and their dining room was the most insanely loud, and consequently most uncomfortable dining room that I've ever been in. Since that Chophouse experience, I now think that I might be a little "dining with bar noise" gunshy. Thanks a lot you evil Portland Steak and Chophouse!)
Pros: large menu, excellent service, smoke free
Cons: parking might be semi-iffy (though I still usually find free street parking in the area)
