Excellent service from Danny. One of the best Crab Louie’s I’ve had. We sat in the back of the restaurant which I’ve not done before and it was lovely. Quiet and private but still part of the Jake’s vibe.

Oh boy the food was phenomenal but it was immediately clear that they thought we were out of our tax bracket. A simple date night with my husband turned into a sociological rollercoaster. From how many different people popped by our table - it really felt like they were talking about us in the back and everybody was like “oh I gotta see this. Let me run their appetizer to their table” vibes.
