JAKE’S ON THE LAKE, TAHOE CITY, CA.
“ I’m really loving Jake’s On The Lake “, located at the Boatworks Mall. What a great setting, I might add. As I’m sitting at my table on the deck, I have a panoramic view of Lake Tahoe and it is breathtaking! Needless to say, a very luxurious feel when it comes to lakeside dining. For those of you visiting the San Diego area, there is also a Jake’s in Del Mar, Ca.
My photographer and I stopped by to experience the famous dinner menu at Jake’s. Jeff Hill, General Manager was a great host and told us some history of the restaurant. We started off with their ‘clam chowder soup’, made with fresh clams and it was exceptionally creamy and rich, the kind of clam chowder that you can’t stop eating. That’s how good it was in my opinion. I also highly recommend the ‘quinoa salad‘ which was fabulous! Moving on through the dinner course, we ordered the ‘grilled scallops’ which came with 3 HUGE scallops in a wonderful sauce, and then moved on to the ‘ Kurobuta pork chop’ in a ginger scallion sauce, absolutely amazing! If you like special drinks, try their ‘Mai Tai’ and or the ‘Hibiscus Harvest with vodka.’ For dessert, I’m recommending the famous, ‘Kimos Hula Pie’~ which is macademia nut ice cream piled high on a oreo cookie crust topped with chocolate fudge. They say ‘it’s what the sailors swam ashore for in Lahaina’. In August, there is live music every Sunday evening adding icing to the cake!
Jake’s has a ‘live webcam‘ that posts weather in Tahoe City, Ca. minute by minute! Nearby is the ‘Tahoe Gal’ a paddleboat which offers 4 sightseeing cruises daily in the summer.
