    It wasn't the best. I tried it years ago and it was good, I think it's gone downhill. Especially since they had that wooden door.

    Their brocolli and garlic sauce is so very oily. Very good, but definitely not the healthiest option.

    We never had been here before, so we drove out and found ample parking and a very nice restaurant…read more We were surprised that Jake's was NOT on the lake, but across the street from the lake. If you're going for a lake view restaurant, this wasn't it. Upon entering, we were greeted by a very pleasant young lady. Seated by the window, we were pleased by the menu and the daily specials. Our server was very prompt and courteous. We ordered the walleye sandwich and the perch sandwich. Both sandwiches came with hand cut french fries and coleslaw. Our son ordered the grilled cheese sandwich and tomato basil soup. Our food arrived very promptly. My wife and I both loved the fish and felt that it was one of the best fish sandwiches we've had in a long time. The fries were rather limp and could use some more attention by the kitchen to make them stand out more. I like a mayo based coleslaw, so I didn't really love the slaw, although it was fresh and tart. The soup was very tasty and the grilled cheese was done just right! Overall, we would recommend this restaurant and we can tell that the local crowd likes this place and has kept it in business for a long time. Now if they only had that lake view restaurant!

This time we had a burger and some Potato skins. This Restaurant can get crowed on the weekends. Be aware. Their fries are fresh cut like "fair" fries. Service is always friendly. We can solidly recommend Jake's. Follow them on Facebook for their weekly specials.

    First time here after many recommendations. Hard to find off Detroit Rd in Avon. Sits way back in a…read morevery narrow entrance to various shops/businesses. We passed it up once and nearly missed it a second time. It's a big renovated barn, and the first floor is not very special, with a few tables and a small bar. Thankfully we ate on the second floor which was gracious and spacious. The prices are white cloth but weirdly the tables are clothless. Almost like a white/cream butcher block surface. And the barn atmosphere apparently lulls some guests into thinking jeans and T's are appropriate. I didn't care for that and wish the restaurant had a nicer dress code. Anyway, the star here is steak, and it didn't disappoint. As the specials were being rattled off (expertly by Shane who was terrific for us) it became clear that I wasn't gonna get the cut I wanted, as they hovered between 90-120 bucks. I can't believe where beef is in America right now...shameful. We settled for "Jake's Steaks" which were economical 10 oz sirloins perfectly prepared and very satisfying. Sides were big enough to share. A lobster pasta had al dente penne but the crustacean was fishier than I had hoped. Zero complaint about the luscious, rich, cheesy scalloped potatoes. A complimentary birthday cake was a classy touch for us. With a credit card dent of nearly 200 bucks, I wanted it to be 5 stars, but it came up just a sliver short. Still an enjoyable special occasion night out.

    This was our fifth visit to Strip Steakhouse in Avon, and once again it did not disappoint. The…read morerestaurant itself is beautiful, it's a restored old barn, which gives it such a warm and unique atmosphere. We were seated on the second floor at a more intimate table, which made the evening feel even more special. We were celebrating two birthdays, mine and my son's and it ended up being such a great night. This was our son's first time at this restaurant. To start, we ordered the Girl Power appetizer, which was a half pound of breaded scallops served with dipping sauces. It ended up being about five large scallops and they were excellent, crispy on the outside and perfectly cooked. The pretzel bread brought to the table was also fantastic, served with regular butter and a whipped peanut butter butter that was surprisingly delicious. For drinks, I ordered the seasonal mule, a blood orange mule that was refreshing and perfectly balanced. My younger son was excited to see mocktails on the menu and ordered the Berry Mint Refresher, which he loved. For our entrées, my husband ordered one of the steak specials, the Beverly, cooked rate with mushrooms and garlic butter. Myself and two sons all ordered the Stripper, their New York strip steak. My younger son had his cooked rare with garlic butter, while my older son and I ordered ours medium rare with garlic butter. The steaks were cooked perfectly and incredibly flavorful. For sides, we shared the garlic mashed potatoes and the Gruyère mac & cheese, both of which were fantastic and complemented the steaks perfectly. Our server, Walter, was amazing from start to finish. He walked us through the menu, checked in with us several times, and made sure everything was perfect. His service really elevated the experience. Since we were celebrating two birthdays, we were surprised with a lovely small cake brought to the table so we could celebrate both occasions. It was such a thoughtful touch. Strip Steakhouse is truly top-notch and, in my opinion, one of the best steakhouses in the Cleveland area. It never disappoints, and we're already looking forward to our next special event to celebrate and visit.

    We met ten friends at this restaurant in Westlake for a weekday dinner…read more Service - from setting up the table to taking orders to bringing us free sangria to top off the evening - was fabulous. Our server was gregarious and answered all questions. The food was very tasty, well presented and large in portion size. I started with the garlic soup. Super flavorful and mellow but deep garlic flavor. Definitely would get again. For a main I opted for a special: flounder stuffed with shrimp in a brandy sauce. Amazing flavor. The table shared a dish of rice which was very good. My no seafood eating gf got the short ribs and she loved them. Soft, falling off the bone and with great flavor. Great vibe, good service and tasty food. We'll be back.

    My partner and I came here for dinner. For appetizers, we shared patatas bravas and some house…read morebreads. The breads were amazing and rustic. The patatas bravas was a fried potatoes dish with spicy sauce. The potatoes were cooked perfectly. However, I was not a big fan of the sauce. I have had this dish before and it was served with spicy tomato sauce (bravas sauce). This restaurant had a different version. It tasted like spicy mayo with hot sauce to me. I did not detect any tomato flavor. For entrees, I got their special which was seafood platter plus soup of the day. The soup of the day was a potato soup. I loved the garlic flavor of the soup. The seafood platter consisted of a lobster tail, clams, mussels, octopus, squids, shrimps and scallops. They were surrounded with a tomato based garlic sauce which was very tasty. The octopus was overcooked in the dish. I did not enjoy the texture of it. Additionally, the mussels were borderline bad. They tasted off. My partner got paella de carne. He is allergic to shellfish so he picked the chicken and chorizo paella. Unfortunately for him, they cooked the paella in seafood stock. It was our fault for not asking. He is not anaphylactic to shellfish, just discomfort and dermatitis when eating shellfish. The paella was good. The rice cooked perfectly well. Overall, it was an okay experience. It did take awhile for them to get our entrees done.
