Jake's Seafood

WENDY AND TOM DINE OUT

Jake's has a nautical charm that makes it a pleasant place to dine. Situated right on Steamboat Pier, it has a water view from most tables. The wall is windowed from floor to ceiling to add light to the dimly lit rooms. The rooms are done in a pleasing shade of blue with fish suspended from the ceiling and lobster traps and buoys used for decoration. Even the ladies room is tastefully done in a fish motif! Unfortunately, the night we were there it was bitterly cold outside and this fact may have detracted somewhat from our overall appreciation of the restaurant. We will return in nicer weather when we can better appreciate its view and, perhaps, the food.

*** We have made a second trip to Jake's because we liked what we saw the first time and wanted to give the food another try. The restaurant has a nice "feel" to it. It is cheerful and exceptionally clean. This time we were here at the beginning of the season in lovely weather. We got a chance to study and appreciate some of the nautical memorabilia on the walls.

Steamboat Pier, Nantasket, MA

DATE:

October 22, 1999, May 25, 2002

MEAL:

Dinner

BREAD:

Warm rolls served in a large basket that made the two small rolls look a little lost

Excellent hot rolls

SALAD:

APPETIZER:

ENTREE:

Bouillabaisse ($19.95) very good - a reasonable sized portion with a thick tomato soup base, cole slaw served in a small plastic container and two large pieces of garlic bread

Scallops with a Crabmeat Stuffing ($15.95) fairly good - the scallops were plentiful but the stuffing was not to our liking. It had a fishy taste that probably came from the scallop juices permeating it. The top of the stuffing was slightly blackened from overcooking. It had a spice in it that was not to our liking (sage?), served with a nicely cooked baked potato

Mini Seafood Sampler ($10.95 plus $.50 to substitute onion rings for French fries) Very Good. Clams were delicate and tasty (We don't like the huge ones that are often served at other establishments). A good sized portion. The coating was a bit heavy, but a nice presentation anyway. We prefer onion rings that are not cut as thickly, but they were done well. Good sized portion of cole slaw.

DESSERT:

OTHER:

Restaurant closes on October 31st for the season

Paper place mats with menu suggestions
