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
