    We have been regulars at Jake’s over the years. It’s about the best atmosphere you could ask for. It’s very exclusive but very beach casual which makes it so comfortable. Great service every time we go there. They don’t serve the main course until you are ready…this is such an exception to most restaurants around town that are pushing you to finish and move on. All around thumbs up!!!

    Pacifica never disappoints. Delicious food, fantastic service, great ambience and view. I’m a vegetarian and even though Pacifica seems to focus on seafood, their vegetarian options have been creative and delicious every time. Extensive wine selection too, with half-price bottles on Thursdays, it’s a great value.

    Absolutely outstanding!! My boyfriend and I came here to celebrate our anniversary, it was our first time dining here and we were floored. Our server, Jillian, guided us through the menu and gave us amazing recommendations! From the 1st course to the last, she made everything special. We ended with a small beignet tree and the house made cookies, along with a super thoughtful anniversary card. Yes it is pricey, but so worth it. The food, service, and ambience were beyond exemplary. Thank you Jillian and Steak 48!
