Jak's Grill

Walked in on a rainy winter night at 5pm, and was seated quickly. Restaurant was fairly empty while Bar counter seemed almost full. Ordered bourbon glazed pork chop with onion rings and wedge salad along with lavender honey glazed roasted chicken with mushroom risotto and asparagus with Caesars salad. Pork chop was so juicy and glazed was yummy. Could have used more sauce, onion rings were thick and prefect. Chicken was juicy and glazed was amazingly tasty. Risotto was decent and large portion, Caesars salad was decent but over dressed and wedge could have used blue cheese crumble to add freshness Dinner proteins were large. Restaurant was nicely setup, but AC and fans made it chilly. Wait staff was friendly and attentive until we were finished and then we sat there an additional 10 min after last bite before check was offered. Restaurant was closer to half full when we left. Rear entrance was locked when we tried to ever .

The food was great. We set out to eat half of a cow and this place delivered with a 32 oz porterhouse that came precut and cooked perfectly. Normally I wouldn’t want a precut steak but I am making an exception this time because cutting it would have been a pain especially with all the other food/plates on the table. Made sharing it a lot easier too. There is an option for you food to come with “Oscar Prep” and the description for it sounds a lot better than what you actually get. I was expecting maybe some crab legs and asparagus on top of the giant steak. What actually came out was the tiniest portion of crab with a pile of asparagus on a side plate. Wouldn’t recommend it. Lasted me all of about 1.5 bites. The Brussel sprouts were also hit and miss. The serving was big and the sprouts tasted great. But again the description on the menu was misleading. There was supposed to be anchovies and jalapeños and capers with them but we did not find any of those things on there. Maybe they were so small that they were buried under the mountain of Brussels, either way we did not find any of those things in the pile.

We found this restaurant from the Google website. And we came all the way from Vancouver to the Seattle to have dinner in JaK’s Grill. I would like to say this is the awesome restaurant whatever for the food or services. The server is very friendly and patient to explain everything that we asked. And the food tasted very yummy!! Highly recommended this place for dating or having dinner! We will come back again for sure!

Nice meals all around for seven of us, from sirloin skewers to halibut to beef wellington to Ora King salmon. Everything done well except a portion of the beef Wellington, that wasn't trimmed well. But Jak's made it right.

Last night was my first time at JaK’s and it was fantastic. All of the dishes were above and beyond- our waitress Jackie was the sweetest. We will definitely be back. Thanks for a great experience!

I quite like JaK's grill, especially this location. One of their biggest highlights is actually their dessert menu, which features a lovely creme brulee. Their steak is also prepared well, and the portion sizes are larger than you'd expect. I never leave here feeling anything less than (very) full.

Great food, service, and experience! We all had different cuts of meat and was impressed with all of it. I personally had the cold smoke prime rib (I believe it was called) so tender and could be cut with butterknife! Very flavorful as well. My husband got the filet mignot - simply to die for! He was obsessed over it and I took a small bite to try and was a little jealous how good his was! Either way, very good experience and the waitress was very attentive and nice. I did try their onion rings and would pass on it in the future. They weren't super crunchy and seasoning wasn't consistent and tasted bland but was happy to try it out!

We ate here 2 times during our 5 day stay in Seattle. First time we (2) feared that 8 oz would be a lot of meat (Europeans bad at conversion) so we shared a wagyu spinalis steak. The waitress was very accommodating. The food was amazing! A few days later we came here with 3 persons and we all ordered a wagyu spinalis with grilled asparagus and mashed potatoes and it was amazing again! I recommend this restaurant!

Used to frequent Jak's at their Greenlake location for their clam chowder. Hands down, the best in the city. Yes, better, much better than Duke's.

We came here last night to celebrate my husband's birthday but ended up having a horrible time. We made a reservation for 7 and were seated promptly but that's where the praise for this dinner ended. Our server was friendly but insanely slow at taking orders, bringing food, etc. Our table placed its drink orders and then we waited almost 30 minutes to get them (and it was only 4 drinks, one of which was a beer). The waitress didn't come by to check on us or take our order that whole time. Finally the drinks showed up and we got to put in our order, almost 45 minutes after we sat down. The food then took forever to come. After waiting 45 minutes and watching tables who came after us get their food and finish eating, we finally asked to talk to the manager. I ended up waiting so long to get food that I felt sick (medical condition) and couldn't even eat my food when we finally got it. My mother in law said her steak was tough and not good. They also forgot to bring the wine my husband ordered. The manager was apologetic and comped my meal and bday dessert for my husband, but the dinner was still a major disappointment. We've been here a number of times before and enjoyed it but this night was just horrible. The manager had a number of reasons why they took forever but the fact that our waitress took so long to take our order, would disappear for long stretches of time, ordered items were forgotten, and our table seemed to get ignored spoiled the night. Looking at recent reviews, it seems we weren't the only ones to have problems. Seems like they need to make some major adjustments or they will continue to lose customers.

My wife and I made reservations to eat here on a Friday night. We were promptly seated upstairs with a beautiful view of the city at our window table. The place was pretty packed, so I would recommend reservations. Upon seating, our server, Connor, was exceptional--always attentive to drinks and clearing the table, as well as knowledgeable about the menu. We started off with the bacon wrapped scallops. I do have severe anaphylaxis to all nuts, which we did denote on our reservation, but we did not tell our server when we arrived, our fault. The scallops come with pine nuts, so while we felt awful about the miscommunication, the floor manager quickly took the plate, and got us a new appetizer free of charge. This was a really nice touch, as it was obviously our fault for not reading the item ingredients. Nonetheless, when we got the new scallops, they were cooked perfectly and had an excellent crispy bacon wrap to them. For dinner, my wife got the NY Strip cooked medium rare with a side of mashed potatoes and a side Caesar. The Caesar salad came out before the dinner, and it was perfectly dressed and had delicious, crunchy croutons as well. The steak was cooked medium rare, with an excellent flavor to it. Now, for the highlight of the night! I ordered the Prime Porterhouse, which we had high expectations for given the price is almost double the other steak options. WOW! Did this steak absolutely live up to the hype and worth every penny! The steak had amazing char, cooked perfectly to medium rare, was cut up & presented fabulously! Id put this porterhouse up as one of the best steaks I've ever had. We've eaten a lot of high dollar steakhouses in the Seattle area, and JaK's just might be the perfect combination of exquisite food, while not costing an arm and a leg for the perfect date night! Thanks Jaks for an incredible night!

Can't say enough good about this place. We probably eat there every couple of weeks. The steaks are solid, wine and cocktails are top notch. Can't go wrong with a burger. Wish they'd put the steak sandwich back on the menu. That's my only critique! The employees are nice and seem to enjoy work! Sometimes it's gets crowded. Get there early to avoid waits. A+

Good steaks. Cooked like you want. Fresh real horseradish butter. Sides are good. The staff rocks it especially at the bar. My one thing. Hot food on a cold plate. Potatoes were cold on the bottom. Darn it. I warm plates at home. Cold night. Hot food. Ill go back for the staff and quality. Wanted to try the pork chops after seeing them. Next plate over.

I truly have no idea why this place continues to be so xenaphobic. We go to Jak's it seems once a week, if not once a month. The last few times we have had hair in the chicken fried steak (they covered this), rude servers who ignored us, and this last time...look at this photo! How does 1. A bartender not see this glassware and be ok to have it leave the bar. 2. The server think its ok to serve a glass with a bug stuck on the glass!!! If they can serve this, what is the food sanitation like? We enjoy the Chicken Fried Steak but there are other options y'all.

I've been to Jaks many many times and never disappointed. Last night maybe was an off night for them. We got there and it wasn't too busy around 6pm. The wait time from getting drinks to salads and the main meal was a long time. We left the restaurant at 8:20pm. 2 hours and it was mostly waiting. A table near us ended up leaving after they finally got their drinks. They changed their dinnerware. Salads use to come on the white plates and were delicious. Now they come in this little awkwardly shaped bowl with brown bad lettuce for both salads. The sourdough bread was cold and stale at the ends where it was cut in half. I ordered NY strip and it was good. My baked potato was cut in half all the way through so it was 2 separate pieces. Not a normal sliced halfway through baked potato. I've never had a baked potato served like that. They use to have steamed veggies on the side. No more. My BF got the pork chop and it was good. The mashed potatoes weren't the same. They were yellow and gummy? It wasn't their normal mashed potatoes. White and fluffy. Jake's use to be 10 on everything from the bread to their salads, mains and sides. It may have been an off day but it was a disappointing Jaks dinner.

I have been to both other Jak's, and liked them both, but it's been several years. I recall not liking not being able to reserve a table, but otherwise enjoying things. When I found out we could reserve now, I was like 'hey cool!' The ambiance was nice, and the place was clean, but... $14 Caesar mediocre sourdough bread good-ish but served cold. the butter was good though. $61 filet undercooked, had to be sent back (we never do this)... and mediocre/bland baked potato mediocre macaroni meh $70 NY strip "cowboy prep" cooked correctly, and pretty good? not amazing but probably the best thing we ordered mashed potatoes good but served lukewarm, quickly went cold onion rings tasty So... it was $168 +tip for two ppl, 1 drink and no dessert. That's nearly Daniel's money for... something way less special than Daniel's. Or put another way, nearly Daniel's money for an almost Outback experience. Maybe I just caught them on an off night. Hope so.

Still a great steakhouse.great.service with glorius ala carte sauces and side dishes to pick from-ask your waitress for favorites you will not.go.awayhungry--remember.doggie.bags.make.great.breakfast. and a great.way to leave some room for dessert -cheers al

I don't know the area & there was a Seahawks game which meant brunch downtown or the like with bae was not in the cards this weekend. We looked for something with eggs benners in my friends neighborhood & stumbled into here. This weekend there was some sort of farmers market or something event going on so streets were blocked off a bit. It was a gorgeous day outside for it. While there were also tons of Seahawks fans out getting their grub on, there was also still capacity and ease to get a nice sit-down brunch. We ended up both getting eggs benny. He got his with steak (medium rare & tasty indeed) & I got crabcakes eggs benedict. I also got a French 75 but it was different than the ones I usually get in that it came in a cocktail glass instead of a champagne flute. It wasn't bad at all. It was nice & unexpected. After my date, I found out that my friend who lives in the area said that we went to a solid spot. From the rest of the reviews here, I think it's right. It's totally worth the stop if you're in West Seattle! Notes: This review was started last year in October after going up North for a work trip. It was a really lovely day outside (strangely perfect temperature) and parking was actually easy despite there being a farmer's market going on. We were lucky to be able to find parking but given the details about the game & the weather it might have actually been easier normally. If you're out in West Seattle it's worth a try even though I found out the person I went with was not quite as dashing as he seemed that day.

Brunch is 10/10 and a great deal. Highly recommend. Not busy at all on Sunday afternoon but should have a line out the door

Jak's used to be a terrific neighborhood diner where you could get an excellent steak, with great service, at a fair price. Sure, more expensive than the restaurants down the street at U Village, but only moderately so. No longer. Today Jak's has earned the notoriety of being Seattle's most overpriced restaurant with dinner for five, including drinks and gratuity running $450. How are families supposed to afford that? Apparently they can't. Even a couple years ago, someone visiting on a Saturday night would find the restaurant packed - with people (families) waiting upwards of an hour for a table. Last night there was no wait and plenty of open tables available for immediate seating. Looks like we're not the only ones priced out of this restaurant. That's a damn shame.

Great happy hour menu and quality! I feel this is a West Seattle staple. The Monday night prime rib specials are no longer the steal that they once were at $40, but still delicious and huge. Good ambiance and recommended.

We finally tried Jak's after hearing about their great steaks for a birthday dinner. The place was nice and inviting for a date night. Ordered the prime rib special and halibut fish dinner. The prime rib was kinda tough and was cold. I ate most of it because I was hungry. The server plopped it down and said medium, but it was medium rare. The broccoli, mashed potatoes and yorkshire pudding all were excellent. The halibut fish was tasty. They don't do birthday desserts. Ordered the creme brulee and it was excellent. But no mention of birthday. The server was efficient like military style.

Great neighborhood steakhouse with a great ambiance and fabulous cocktails! Going back next week for prime rib Monday!

My $60 steak was surprisingly the worst part of my meal. All I could taste was burnt/charcoal remnants. It was ordered medium. Mashed potatoes are incredible. The broccoli and carrots were cooked to perfection - al dente and lightly seasoned. The bread was heavenly and served with a gorgeous whipped butter. The sweet potato fries were the star. I might even dream about them. Perfectly crunchy and yet so soft. Service was incredible too.

The host who seated us was really nice and gave us a warm welcome. Our server was Jamey who was very friendly and professional with a great attitude. It makes such a huge difference when you have a wonderful server. My friend and I had a light dinner with French Onion Soup, Caesar Salad and Spinach salad....all tasty and delicious. Next time we will definitely have the steak and baked potato. Overall thumbs up for Jak's Grill!!!

Great brunch menu. Go try the Baja omelet with a side of Belgian waffle. It's delicious. Even their potatoes were fantastic. I highly recommend. Great parking, great with kids, delicious food.

Delicious food, well-priced, and attentive unstuffy service. You can carry on a comfortable conversation even when its busy. I think the filet mignon is outstanding and always perfectly prepared. Chocolate cake is to die for. Cocktails are well-balanced and beautifully presented. I'll be back!

This was the BEST food i had in Seattle this trip. The NY steak sandwich was full of flavor, the meat was tender and perfectly cooked. The sides also stood out and elevated the food. The service was great and attentive. 5/5 would definitely go again!

Was great! Food was delicious. Service was wonderful. Our group of 7 was able to have a great celebration for my husband's birthday.

Been here three times with the first two times good enough to prompt a third visit where it really went over the cliff. As bad as the third experience was, the aggregate rating I think is probably a 3 star for being soso and just overpriced. They have a cold-smoked ribeye that I would have again, although both times it came undercooked. The prime rib served on prime rib Mondays went over the cliff....all of it. Irregularly cooked with sections of raw meat ... roasted too quicky. It was a chewy cut and the au jus was overly salty and blown to smithereens by an overdose of rosemary extract. I applaud that they attempt to serve Yorkshire pudding with it; however the tiny piece of dried-out object that came with it barely did it justice. Also, the potato cakes that came with it (among other choices) didn't taste like potatoes. As per the menu, it was supposed to be an 18 oz cut for $55 but what was served was neither 18 oz nor worth the squeeze. Of note, they charge $18 for a double shot of Jack. Jack....not your high brow Blantons... Same as two Jacks. When called out on it there was some brainwashing as a response. It was this garbage by the manager with the school teacher glasses that killed the place for me. I just moved to Seattle 3 weeks ago and on some level I thought I had found a decent steak place with Jaks but it finally dawned on me that I might as well sit on plush leather while sipping dark Manhattans for those prices. Capital Grill for a buck more anyone?

We took my sister and her husband to JaK's Laurelhurst for dinner last night to celebrate his birthday. They have been there a couple of times and really enjoyed it. The last time they were there Jaime was their server too and he did not disappoint. The service was fun and attentive. The restaurant is attractive and furnished with booths so we felt both cozy and safe in Covid times. Now on to the food. We ordered Brussel sprouts as an appetizer. They were crispy on the outside and just right on the inside. It was plenty for all four of us and delicious. We had Filet Mignon, the pork chop and the skewers. All fantastic. The filet was perfectly seasoned and cooked exactly as ordered. My sister and her husband shared the largest filet and still had leftover steak. The pork chop was a very generous portion of two chops and thicker than usual. Yes, my husband did eat the entire thing! I had the Moroccan seasoned skewers. Oh yum! Jaime suggested that I try a combination of the potato pancake and garlic mashed potatoes when I was unsure which to choose. Both were perfect! The salad comes on chilled plates, a really nice touch. They gave my brother in law his choice of complementary desserts and he chose the Maui Wowie which effectively is a chocolate chip cookie with coconut and ice cream on top, baked in a small cast iron skillet. Reported to be delicious. We also shared the cream brûlée. Perfect. For drinks my husband had an IPA on draft and the rest of us shared the JaK's red wine also quite nice with the steaks.

Four syllables: DEL-MO-NI-CO. So so good! The service is always excellent as well and it has a nice, warm ambience. The Issaquah location is a go-to for our family.

We came for a girls night as we were all craving a good steak. We ordered it Oscar style and the crab was very salty and tasted spoiled. Also there wasn't much crab on either of the steaks. They also drenched the steak in the bernaise sauce, steak had several thick fatty pieces (which I love) and the steak had really no flavor aside from the bernaise sauce. One of my friends ordered bone in ribeye and it definitely didn't have a bone. My friend felt immediately sick from the crab and the other felt sick from the sauce. They comped us the Oscar style which is fine. Both friends are both sick with stomach issues. Super disappointing. I took my leftovers and ended up throwing it away. We won't come back.

I LOVE JAKS! Best steak around! I've been going to Jak's for 15 years and have never ever had a bad experience-food and service is always on point! Get up and GOOO!

It was 8:50p they close at 9:30 and wouldn't seat a party of two. Very surprised at that especially when I called to ask if we would be seated for birthday coming from Tacoma.

Food and service are definitely hit and miss! This place used to be noted for consistently excellent food, service and value for the money. This is no longer the case and sadly, I believe that Jak's Grill has lost their way . Hopefully they will be able to break out of their "state of funk". P.S The on line menu prices posted for this business are far less than what the actual prices are !

Decent neighborhood steakhouse located close to University Village. Good place for brunch, lunch, and/or dinner.

Bloody Mary bar review only. We were out on Christmas Eve for a few last minute items and had a hankering for a Bloody Mary. This was one of the few places open, and I guess we've never been there despite it being in our neighborhood because of the price point. This was a great Bloody! Perfectly spiced. I can't afford to eat here but i'd stop in for another drink.

What happened to Jak's?! This used to be one of our favorite restaurants when we lived in Seattle. We would go there every other week for dinner and an occasional brunch. We moved east of the mountains at the beginning of the Pandemic but would hit up Jak's when we came over to Seattle. Yesterday was our anniversary and we made a special trip over to go to Jak's only to find out that it has a new executive chef that changed the menu. No more yummy starter salad with what may be the best bleu cheese dressing we ever had. In fact, you cannot even get a "regular" Jak's salad. My husband and I always shared the 20oz boneless ribeye and got two starter salads and two sides. Since the salad was gone he got the 8oz eye of ribeye that was very dry and not seasoned. It was cooked to the correct temp, but it was so dry and a little tough. Isn't this cut supposed to have good marbling? None what so ever. I went for the steak salad with the balsamic vinegar and bleu cheese crumbles hoping to have it resemble my favorite Jak's salad, and replaced it with salmon. The salmon was overcooked and extra fishy, the balsamic was a nasty yellow color that was a little off, and there were NO BLEU CHEESE crumbles. Such a disappointing anniversay dinner. Will not go back.

A friend and I visited JaK's Grill on a quiet week night, arriving around 5pm. The place was not busy when we got there, maybe a half dozen patrons. Both of us ordered the Wild Caught King Salmon, which is described on the menu as "Wild caught King Salmon fillet. brined and grilled." Only one word comes to mind when describing what we were served: horrible. I expected a moist flaky and lightly grilled salmon fillet, something that accentuated the fine natural flavor of King salmon. Instead, we both got a tough chewy and thoroughly un-salmony piece of fish. In fact, it tasted like chicken teriyaki without any hint of salmon whatsoever! We spoke to our waiter, who called the maître d', who spoke to the chef, and reported back that the salmon was indeed salmon and was grilled. Not helpful and when we told him it was like teriyaki and not good, no sympathy. I strongly suspect a few things. First, that the salmon was not fresh. I do know fresh salmon and that was not the case here. Second, it was probably soaked in a sugar and salt brine solution, or, I should say, over soaked and saturated to the point of ruining the nature of the fish. Third, that the salmon, while maybe in fact wild caught, was from the end of the season's run, when the salmon are spent and their flesh is tough. Not the grade of fish I'd've expected at a place like JaK's. In short, we both were extremely disappointed and at $35 for this entree, I felt ripped off and taken. Yeah, I know. JaK's is a steakhouse, where you go for red meat, but this is Seattle, the Land of Salmon and even Ivar's knows how to do it right. Still, traffic was at a standstill and we were desperate to find a place to eat a comfortable meal, rather than fight traffic. JaK's has a good rep, but if you go there, DO NOT ORDER THE SALMON. If you do, don't say you weren't warned.

Previously a great neighborhood steakhouse that has lost its way. Salads are no longer included with the steaks. The prices have gone up SIGNIFICANTLY. Many menu items have changed for the worse. No veggie burgers. And the bread has always been bad and hasn't gotten better. I wish they'd go back to the JAK's of pre-2020.

Dinner today was delicious. Lemon drop was good, steaks were done to perfection, bearnaise sauce was the best and service was the best. Would have given it a 5 star except the hard wood booth seats were uncomfortable.

Jak's never disappoints. They offer a large menu with something for everyone...even the non-meat eaters. I think for the price there is nothing that compares. All their meat dishes come with a started salad and side of potatoes and veggies. Always tasty and fresh. Servers are very friendly. They don't take reservations, so there can be a wait but defiantly worth it. You can always sit at the bar, they offer the whole menu. Their wine list is quite extensive, even by the glass and they, offer many choices of Washington reds by the bottle and their bottle prices are right on.

Love me some Jaks. How is it possible that JaK's was established in 1996? I have had at least 25 meals here and it just never gets old. The food is excellent with so many different options. The wine menu has a great variety. The service has ALWAYS been impeccable. I chose to treat my family to dinner for my mom's birthday at JaK's dinner. Everyone was happy but most important Mom loved it. I typically order a Filet because they are consistently perfect and if they aren't then someone will correct it. They don't mess around when it comes to preparing a satisfying experience. Our service professional was Becca and she is an absolute doll. Gold standard over the top service gem. She was hustling all night but never once faltered from her devotion to our dining experience. I had the Large Wedge with Salmon for dinner (it was twice as big as I could handle). My son had the stuffed Halibut. It looked and tasted amazing. Mom has the pork chop. I think it was the biggest pork chop I have ever seen on a restaurant table. My daughter had their AMAZING cheeseburger. Always a winner. Mom's friend ordered the salmon. Full meal. Excellent tasting. We all shared the lobster Mac and cheese. If they could only make it fat free. Probably one of the best Mac and cheese's on the planet. 5 people: shared appetizers, full meals, shared desserts and a few glasses of wine just over $200. JaK's is a great deal.

Bazam! Take out monday night special prime rib! Prime rib, mashed, veggies and a popover! My rib was fatty and to temp, even though we took out and it took a bit to get home. Flavorful and the table got quiet when we started to tuck into our meals. That's a good sign. It was pretty quiet inside and we were able to distance when we got our food to go. I might need to do this again soon.

I've always enjoyed Jak's steaks but first time trying their brunch menu. The Jak's Benedict is excellent, instantly became my top brunch menu. The waitress Jacky was amazing. I had a toddler with me that's allergic to egg and she really went beyond to make sure there's something in the brunch menu he can eat. Thanks to her, he finished his plate. Checked back several times to make sure he is doing well. Very very kind person with good energy, who can make anyone have a good day really. Highly recommend!

This is our third time at Jak's over the years and I'm sad to say it will likely be our last. Each time we've been, it has just been missing the mark and was never as good as we remembered. I must start off by saying the service is great, I love that it's a casual steak restaurant, the food is a good value, and there's a convenient parking lot in the back. I had debated between going to Jak's or Capital Grille, but wanted to support a local restaurant rather than a chain. Food wise, it was OK. When ordering a steak, it also comes with sourdough bread, salad, potatoes (of your choice) and veggies. I ordered the Seattle Ribeye which was a special of theirs at the moment (bone-in ribeye with caramelized onions and mushrooms on top) and my bf got the Jak's size filet mignon. I am no steak expert, I'm just sharing my humble opinion, but I think getting the larger filet mignon was a mistake. I think because the filet was such a thick cut of meat, getting it perfectly cooked in the middle without doing some damage to the outer layers was difficult. The filet was quite dry on the outter layers of the steak, even burnt at some parts. My ribeye was definitely the better of the two picks since it did not have that problem - the meat itself was thinner and had more fat and marbling to retain juices. The flavor of both steaks was just lacking something however. Both dishes also literally had half a head of cooked broccoli on the top which was a not worth the effort to cut down and eat. I had mashed potatoes which were fine (I wish there was gravy for it) and my bf had fries which were really good. We don't get steaks too often, usually when there is a special occasion, so it was a bummer that we both left feeling disappointed by Jak's.

We went in and sat at the bar to have dinner and watch the baseball game. The bartender told us it was her first day. She was personable but the service was meh. Little things like no bread and she struggled a bit taking our order. We both had prime rib and it was good as usual. Prime rib used to be $25 on Mondays but it was $30 when we got our checks. I hadn't bothered to look at the menu so I don't know if it was still a discounted price. No offer of a dessert menu and it was my birthday and I kind of wanted something sweet. We decided to go across the street for ice cream. As far as bartending goes, she kept up with all the drinks. She should be fine with a little experience.

I must say, I should not have taken this place for granted. I live right around the corner and today was the first time I made a trip to Jak'e Grill. First, let's start with a customer service. They were absolutely excellent. They were attentive to our needs and very friendly on top of that. Second, the atmosphere is lively, well lit, with the faint hint of music playing in the background. You can't beat it. Third, the food is amazing. I had the top sirloin which was cooked to perfection and my wife had the salmon. I must say...it's the best salmon that I e ever tasted. Ever. Don't miss out on this place.

Booths are uncomfortable! Pork chop was raw next to bone and undercooked, mushrooms room temp and mashed potatoes. Dessert was sent back , not edible like rubber. They didn't charge for dessert, acted like that was a favor! Waiter was awesome! Food 2 stars.

My husband and I came with some high hopes based on the reviews for this place. I got the filet mignon and my husband got the ribeye. We both ordered our steaks to be cooked medium to medium-well. Both steaks came out well done, not a hint of pink at all. The steak was underwhelming and dry, and when you come to spend roughly $200 on your meal, you expect a little more than this. All of the sides were fine, but the steak was honestly not worth it at all. I will say our waitress and the staff were super friendly and the establishment was well-kept, but sadly, this was our first and last time at Jak's Grill.

*fillet mignon 5/5 *salmon 4/5 *free salad 3/5 *macadamia nut cookie skillet 4.5/5 *bread pudding 3/5 -fillet mignon was amazing. tender, juicy, and cooked perfectly! i can be very picky about how my steak is cooked and the amount of char. I described what i wanted and they delivered perfectly on the first try! so freaking goooood. -salmon was a good portion size and was hot and moist. fall apart meat, done right. -the free salad was not as good this time around. fresh greens but not enough dressing, croutons, or other toppings. -macadamia nut cookie skillet was excellent. good size and not burnt on the bottom and the chocolate was not too dark or heavy. -bread pudding.. so my grandma's was 4/5, just a very enjoyable desert. my mom's was 2/5 , same desert but was way too boozy. not even good:( I would come back for sure.

We celebrated a special occasion at Jak's this weekend and had the most amazing time! We were able to get seated without a reservation with minimal wait. The atmosphere was amazing- low lighting, great music and superior service. We ordered onion rings for apps and they were the best we have never tasted! My partner got the petite tenderloin and I went for the hamburger. We topped the evening with their bread pudding, ice cream and a small glass of port! The night was so enjoyable and the food was out of this world! We can't wait to visit again.

Please change the Lobster Mac and cheese back! The new version tastes terrible. You can't taste any cheeses or lobster. The new pasta and panko crumbs ruin the meal. It was the best lobster pasta around! We are super saddened by the one staple meal my friends and family loved so much.

When you're paying over $60 for a steak you expect the restaurant knows how to cook and serve steak. unfortunately that wasn't the case for us at Jaks. the bone in ribeye was sloppy with no crust, and underseasoned. They took it back to try again, but it was only marginally better. at these prices you're better off heading for the Capital Grille to get a great steak.

I've kind of given up on Jak's. It used to be a restaurant that reliably served excellent quality steaks, but the last couple of times I've eaten there that has not been the case. The bone-in ribeye, while flavorful, was not tender and had far too much gristle in it. For the price Jak's charges for this - which doesn't include sides, by the way, they're extra - I expect a high-quality steak. The salad was basic and unimaginative. If one is paying $200 for a meal for two, the experience should be better than this.

Had a really lovely dinner last night. The service staff are so pleasant and friendly and genuine! They anticipate your needs without invading your conversation. Food was excellent in both quality and quantity. Fairly priced. As it was my birthday they offered us complimentary dessert! Will definitely be going back! Well done Jak's Grill!

Best steak house in town hands down. Service is outstanding. The atmosphere is wonderful.
