Amazing location! Love the view! We arrived on a beautiful sunset. The food and service are top class. This is a must visit place in Lake Tahoe. The halibut is perfect. The chicken is juicy, and the clam chowder is just right. The service staff is as friendly as you would get.

Fire. Great service. Came in on a Saturday fairly close to close and they were helpful (not saying you should come too close to close). The clam chowder was awesome, bit more thick and creamy than some would expect but I loved it, wished I got more. Also the Calamari was really really good. Possibly best I’ve had. Finally had the ribeye plate was great. Ribeye itself was an interesting cut but wasn’t bad. It was cooked like I wanted it to be. Mashed potatoes with the gravy were a star of the show on this plate.

When you’re searching for a nice place for a special occasion, look no farther than Jake’s On The Lake in Tahoe City. Plenty of parking, attentive servants, great scenery, excellent choice of libations, and plentiful selections for appetizers, main courses and dessert.
Staff is nonintrusive so you can socialize without being rushed from course to course. The food preparation assures a fresh meal although the clam chowder was a little cold for my taste.
Recommend that you make reservations well in advance, because they reward those who have planned well ahead, with seating affording the best views.

Unfortunately, our last night dinner at Jake’s was very disappointing. It’s a clear example of how beautiful views can’t make up for bad service and poor food.

1). We mentioned a special celebration, but it was ignored. The hostess sat us at a large 4-top, even though there were several 2-tops available. When I asked to move, she said they were “reserved,” but the restaurant was half empty on a Monday. Later, when I asked the waitress, she claimed it was because there were only two servers working the deck. Either way, it felt dishonest and dismissive. I even asked the hostess and the waiter if the heater could be turned on, but was ignored and a gentleman after we order our food came to turn it on. This was far from the romantic dinner I had planned.

2). The food was just as disappointing, sadly we only order 3 dishes..
Crab cakes-were drowned in mayonnaise which overpowered all flavor…

The clam chowder came full of bacon oil. I don’t eat pork, and the waitress NEVER mentioned it. It’s unacceptable. I order a traditional clam chowder, and when I asked, she brushed me off with, “we’ve been doing it this way for 45 years.” That kind of response was rude and extremely unhelpful.

The poke salad, seriously was oddly sweet and inedible. We count eat it al all.

3). Our drink order was forgotten, and no effort was made to fix anything despite how unhappy we clearly were. We paid nearly $70 for food we couldn’t enjoy and left hungry and frustrated.

Jake’s completely ruined what should have been a special evening.

If you want great food and the beautiful lake views but better, go next door to the restaurant “Christy Hill”. You won’t be disappointed. The food and service there were excellent. We ate dinner the night before and we will definitely come back.

We went with a group, actually a group large enough to reserve the entire place. I could not believe how we were all served at the same time, at least as fast as those waiters could bring those trays of plates up the stairs. Best Filet Mignon ever! It was cooked just as I requested, even though we were with a large group. Incredible views of the lake, as well. Our waitress was so patient and kind.

Amazing service from our server, Nina! She handled our party of 12 perfectly and was so much fun.

It was a bit dark in the outside seating and it took a while for them to fix the heater. The food was good but pricey.
We had the Thai salad, organic chicken and classic margarita.

The meal started off really well with a beautiful view of the harbor. However, that’s where it ended. The Barada was served very weirdly without any bread and kind of like this weird chopped up different types of tomatoes, cut all sorts of different ways. The meal came out, and my medium steak was basically medium Well, no utensils were provided. We had to ask for them, and even after they returned the steak it was rare instead of medium rare…. They provided a butter knife to cut the steak with. We ordered a Coke and even after three request still did not receive it. I asked for the manager he came out and I was telling him about my experience. His response was “cool”. He then went and made numerous excuses about everything that I told him that it happened instead of just saying I’m so sorry that happened to you will do better next time . They ended up comping the steak and providing us a very weird dessert. Overall, for these prices You would expect a lot more. Pictured is the Ramen noodle soup I had to make when I got home. It was delicious and served without excuses

Food was excellent. We had lunch there on a Saturday and sat out by the lake. It was a day that the lake was shrouded in smoke from the Mosquito Fire but it was still a pleasant experience. The Buratta/Tomato salad was great and the fried artichoke hearts were spectacular too. Food was beautifully prepared and served hot from the kitchen. Would definitely recommend. Went back to the future when we saw this Delorean in the parking lot also.
