Jake's On The Lake

Come for the ambience and the lake view, but not so much food. It's your normal American farewell, hard at the sauces, it won't disappoint, but it won't be exciting. This is said to save you space for dessert, cause that is where the calories are worth it!

Food was excellent. We had lunch there on Saturday and sat at the lake. It was a day when the lake from the mosquito fire was wrapped in smoke, but it was still a pleasant experience. The Buratta/Tomato salad was great and the roasted artichoke hearts were also spectacular. The food was nicely prepared and served hot from the kitchen. Would definitely recommend. When we saw this Delorean in the parking lot, we returned to the future.

We haven't been there for years and didn't know what to expect, but as usual it wasn't disappointed. The drinks are from the hook, but the tacos are from this world. It was a Sunday afternoon and we were able to go directly and get places on the deck.

View from 2nd floor outside was spectacular. Service was great and all the staff were friendly. Food was good but not as great as I expected for the price. Bison filet was really good, tender, lots of flavor, but it was barley warm. Kids salmon was really good, vegetables were asparagus spears that were very large, seemed strange for a kids meal. Apple pipe alamode (gluten free only available) was ok, would be better with a crust. Menu option are a little slim too. Overall it was really good, just not great. I would come back.

Had the best meal of our trip. The beef short ribs were great. Tender, root vegetable melody with spinach. So yummy. Great outdoor dining on the deck.
