Posh without being pretentious, Jake’s Restaurant is our go-to spot when we want seamless service. Chef/owner Bruce Cooper has spent almost 20 years perfecting its attentive yet low-key style of hospitality through good hires and training. The result is a consistency that’s rare on our here-today, gone-tomorrow restaurant scene. The New American menu pleases even the pickiest customers, and the steady staff never wavers, even on a slamming Saturday night.
