I used to live in the San Diego area (1980's) and that is when I first became familiar with Jake's. It is very difficult to last over 30 years in the restaurant business without doing several things right. I have never had a bad meal or poor service in many visits over the years. The beach location and views of... More

Jakes did not disappoint. The service, food, location and sunset were excellent. My wife had the shrimp scampi and said it was the best she ever had. I had the fresh sea bass and it was good too. The beach setting was to die for. Del Mar is a bit crowded but beautiful spot on the Pacific Ocean. A little... More

Jake's is situated right on the beach, and every seat in the house appears to have an amazing view. I was concerned the food would be mediocre given the view, but the burgers and fish dishes were decent. We thoroughly enjoyed them as we people watched the beach-goers.

Fabulous dinner! My woman brought me here and I've never been to this place. She treated me with the best. Had some awesome seafood here! The taste, atmosphere, and service were great. A bit expensive, but you get what you ask for in a romantic dinner at sunset. I'd suggest reserving your table a few days in advance though!

We ate at Jake's twice during our visit, once for dinner and once for brunch. The view was amazing, you can almost touch the water from the window it seemed. The atmosphere was warm and inviting. The staff was engaging and met all of our needs. They all seem to work together and help each other out. They had an... More

One key thing... The place is right on the beach. Parking is valet but we walked from the Clarion Del Mar Inn. Came here with my girl for sat afternoon happy hour. I made a reservation though it was not needed the bar area was empty so we told the girl we would sit at the bar. Bar tender was... More

Our family of four had a super dinner our first night in Del Mar. Excellent service. Superb clam chowder. We did make reservations earlier in the afternoon. We had a great view of the evening sunset over the ocean from out table. We loved thevseafood pot, steak, and halibut special. We shared their hula pie which we enjoyed. I highly... More

Relaxed informal atmosphere, with some excellent seafood choices. Try the crispy calamari and mussels - excellent! Most ingredients are sourced locally, but note that prawns are not US but from Vietnam. Seafood Pot the best I've had for a long time. So in summary, great food, great atmosphere, wonderful views (ensure you book a window tabe) of the Pacific and... More

I love going to Jake's! We always have wonderful meals and the view is fantastic. We went recently for my birthday/Mother's Day special family dinner. Yes, you may need to wait for a table with an ocean view, but it is well worth the time! My favorite item to order is the scallop dish. This time the scallops came in... More
