I thought I would include a review that I wrote, but never

published, after the first time we went to Jake’s.

May 2011

Jake’s is an intimate indoor-outdoor setting on the East

side of N. Palm Canyon Dr. in the Design District of
downtown Palm Springs.

I say indoor-outdoor because the dining area is a patio

nestled between two buildings and the tables are surrounded
by shrubbery and flowers.  It’s a beautiful setting for a
romantic dinner.

The bartender is an excellent mixologist.  He doesn’t skimp

on the essential ingredients.  My wife had a perfect Cosmo
and I had a Jack & Coke just the way I like it, plenty of Jack
and a splash of Coke.  The drinks were so good we each had
a second with dinner.

The food was well prepared and beautifully presented.

Bonnie, my wife, had the salmon and I had the shrimp &
scallops.  I would highly recommend both.
The waiter managed to be attentive without intruding on
our evening.

That was written almost 5 years ago and it’s still true today.

We have eaten at Jake’s on several occasions in that time
span and just recently had Easter Brunch there.

April 2015

My wife started with a Mexi-mosa (mimosa w/tequila) and

I had a Bloody Caesar.

Most restaurants don’t spend a lot of time on presentation
for breakfast food.  Jakes takes care with all their dishes.

For brunch, I had the 3 Egg Breakfast sunny-side, with

apple smoked bacon, roasted breakfast potatoes
(not the usual hash browns), and 9-grain toast.

My wife had Blackstone eggs, similar to eggs benedict,

but made with bacon and fresh spinach.
It, also, comes with their special breakfast potatoes.

The Weekend Brunch menu entrées range from $10 to $18

The Dinner menu entrées range from $19 to $29
And worth every penny and more.

Jake’s gets one of my few 5-star ratings.

Congratulations:

Co-owners Chris and Bruce,
Head Chef Mario,
and of course Jake.

p.s. Next time we go there I plan to take a package of

treats for Jake.

Coming Soon:  ??? (surprise)
