This was our first visit to Jake's, and it instantly became our new favorite restaurant! The menu is wide-ranging and innovative, and the four dishes we tried were all excellent. From the warm welcome at the door, to the attentive service all during our meal, we could not have been happier!
Jake’s has become one of my favorite restaurants in Palm Springs. This was actually our first time dining in the restaurant since COVID. During the pandemic, we ordered takeout from Jake’s all the time, so it was great to finally sit down and enjoy the full experience. What impressed me most was the service. Geraldo was our server and was absolutely fantastic—engaging, attentive, and genuinely enthusiastic. You can tell he loves what he does, and it shows. He mentioned he’s been there for years, and Jake’s is lucky to have him. What really stood out, though, was the entire team. From the host, to the person refilling water, to the bussers, to Geraldo, everyone who came near our table checked in to make sure we had everything we needed. That’s how hospitality should be done. The service was impeccable without ever feeling intrusive. The food was excellent and very reasonably priced. We had the fried calamari to start and I ordered the chicken piccata, both of which were outstanding. And oh, their cocktails are so good. Get the Cloud 9. Excellent and well-balanced cocktail. Geraldo also convinced me that I need to come back and try the steak next time, describing it as perfectly cooked and cut without the inflated steakhouse price tag. It’s wonderful to see Jake’s continuing to thrive and expand. Great food, exceptional service, fair prices, and a warm atmosphere. We will definitely be back. Thanks Geraldo and team for an amazing dinner experience!
Jakes is consistently amazing! The staff are knowledgeable, professional, and courteous - not to mention fun! The food is inventive and delicious. Today I had an Ahi Tuna Bowl, and will definately order that delicious dish again! This past spring we had the honor of meeting Jake, a handsome Westhighland Terrier. His portait is at the reception desk. Looking forward to our next experience at Jakes!
I ordered breakfast potatoes extra crispy, as long as they’re not deep fried. I got deep fried potatoes (French fries). They were kind enough to take them off our bill, that earned them my respect. But one person tried to convince me that I got breakfast potatoes, but when you deep fry potatoes, they become French fries.
