Jake's Steakhouse

Food and service is okay, however, don't leave any of your personal belongings behind you. I left my laptop behind on Christmas Eve and when I realized the restaurant was closed. I was unable to call until the day after Christmas since they were closed, assuming they'd have my laptop, however, they did not. After days of dealing with a ""manager"" who served my table, the owner finally spoke to me and viewed video of the table and confirmed that no patrons took the laptop. However, denied that any employee would take it. So, I suggest if you choose to dine here, you chain your belongings to you before they grow legs and walk off. Very disappointed with the way I was treated. more

it was my boyfriends birthday and he had to work late (construction) so hehad to show up to Jake's, a classy steakhouse in which patrons were wearing suits and ties, in jeans, construction boots, and a dirty sweatshirt. after apologizing to the waitstaff for his appearance (they laughed it off) we recieved excellent service and plenty of attention (however, this was at 9 on a wed night so i cant say we would recieve the same treatment on a busy evening). the food was really good, it truly was manhattan steakhouse fare for a fraction of the price. he had the filet, i had a petit filet, both were done perfectly - the sides (broccoli and french fries) were fine. it was too dark to see much past the street but the restaurant faces the park which is lovely especially in the fall, so if you go during daylight hours ask for a table by the window. the tab came out to $150 including tax, tip, two steaks, two sides, a king crableg appetizer, a bottle of riff pino grigio, and a domestic beer. cant be mad at that. Pros: delicious steak, valet parking, good prices more

All the food at Jake's is top quality and delicious, especially given the location. I've had a steak, the burger, and the pulled pork and chicken sandwiches, all of which were delicious. The only downside is that the decor is nothing to write home about and the service is very spotty. On the upside, it's Bronx prices for a Midtown quality meal Pros: Great Food, Relative Bargain, Cons: Average Decor, Bad Service more

Although the prices are like you are eating in NYC, the food is a far cry. My friends and I have visited Jakes several times, and compared to NYC finer steak houses, it does not at all match up. \r \r The main bartender ""BOB"" seems to be able to only do one thing at a time. If there is more than 5 people at the bar, Bob seems to crumble like a bad stucco job ... It may take up to 10 mins to get his attention. He seems to eat more than the starving customers. One night, I recieved my steak and it appeared a slice was missing and Bob was chewing feverishly !!!!! Pros: Location Cons: Service / Price more

if you dig delectable steak, try the jakes filet. an amazing piece of meat topped with gorgonzola and fried onions complimented with a port wine sauce. or try the prime rib.. the best i've had at any steakhouse in all of new york city. (and i've been to many of them) most of the wait staff is par excellence, with a couple of exceptions.. note: the female servers are always good. Pros: the food, the food, the food more
