First, our Server was new and when asked what beers were "Seasonal" as listed on the menu and we're told there is an apricot ale and no other beers other than what's on the menu. I had to go to the bar to find out what other beers were available and found many others. Other than not knowing what beers, our server was very pleasant and delivered food quickly. Food was served warm and fresh. Baby back ribs were Excellent and not overcooked or reheated. Almond crusted fish was crunchy and thin, very disappointing for $22. Overall restaurant was clean and good atmosphere with a beautiful patio overlooking the boat docks.

Amazing spot in the river front in Lorain. Coming from a foodie town like Portland Maine (where…read moreI'm almost positive they got their name and logo from, Shipyard brewery, I see you). Growing up in Lorain I always hoped for nicer restaurants with more creative menus and ingredients. This place gets top marks in my book. The beer is flavorful, the menu is relatable but trendy, and the service is friendly. Also, for social distancing, the sheer size of the place makes it easy. Every time I go home to visit the family, I'm sure to swing by here for a pint and walleye sandwich or cup of French onion soup.

She went for the pan seared salmon (sweet Thai chili, rice noodles, scallion, carrots, crimini mushrooms, snow pea, Fresno peppers and a sesame glaze. I went for the center cut pork chops (bacon balsamic glaze) with brown rice and asparagus. Great location in the middle of town. Big place, but pretty busy all the time. Excellent service (forgot her name, sorry) but definitely a great place to stop if/when you're in the area.

That came up to an extra 1.25. However I didn't get my extra celery or extra blue cheese dressing. The wings were good. I also ordered one each of their desserts.

But the kitchen needs to pay attention to every order. It took about an hour to get the delivery so I never bothered about the celery and dressing missing.

Now that I'm thinking back I believe she was the only waitress at the time because THE Melissa (owner and head chef) came out from the kitchen to help take food and drink orders. Our table had a feeling she was Melissa and when we asked she said "yes"!! We were so excited and had multiple questions to ask her lol. We found out everything is made to order with fresh ingredients. Melissa had great suggestions and had a sweet genuine demeanor. I apologize in advance because I only took pics of my food but my family ordered the bacon wrapped meatloaf, roasted chicken risotto, and salmon entrees. Coffee was fresh and hot and the prosecco was nice and chilled. I can see this place becoming a staple in our family to come and eat a tasty heartfelt meal.

It should be named "Jakes near the Lake" but we could not of had a better experience. We sat at the bar and our bartender, Sarah, was awesome. She was attentive and extremely pleasant. Now to the food. We got the platter and got to sample most of the fish they have, except for the salmon. I will say it was delicious. Wasn't a fan of the fries, but that's on me because I don't like fresh cut fries. The drinks were great. My wife got a pear martini and it was delicious. I would def recommend this place for anyone in the area wanting some great food.

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!

A very solid meal, especially for a hotel restaurant (which can sometimes be great--and sometimes…read morenot). Service was friendly and professional, and in one of our two meals here, they were gracious as we bumped into people we knew and ended up combining tables. The food was good; highly recommend the Blackened Walleye, which (with its succotash) was delicious and quite filling. The stuffed gnocchi might have been a little over the top (gnocchi not good enough on their own? gotta stuff 'em?) but it was also yummy. Of particular note: the restaurant both has a good selection of gluten-free dishes and is sensitive about gluten/cross-contamination concerns. That was important to one in our party, and they handled it well.

My husband and I decided to try this restaurant. The service was awful and the food took forever!…read more We waited roughly 1hr 15mins for pasta and a Ruben sandwich. Server came to the table 1 time and I had to ask for drinks from someone else. The Ruben bread was soaked in sauerkraut juice and the pasta was ok. Then we ordered dessert. Our server brought our check and cashed us out and after 35 minutes, we were still waiting for a slice of cake. We went to the bar and asked for a refund of the dessert as we were still waiting for it after another 15 mins and our server was there and gave us the worst attitude for it. Will never return! 0/10 would not recommend!!

For MY 1000th Yelp review (haha)…read more... I was in the area for something (a Yelp event maybe?), I needed dinner before driving back home, and I happened to walk by The Feve so I decided to stop in. I visited in June 2025 on a weekday evening, with fellow Yelper, Olga N. We were told that this restaurant in Oberlin has been open for 30 years which is amazing. It must be a staple in the community. FOOD - I ordered the Avocado Bacon Burger with a side salad ($15.50) and I think my friend ordered the same burger. The burger tasted delicious. The burger was juicy and it was a very thick-cut of meat. The avocado wasn't too fresh and it looked like a paste. The bacon was crispy. The small side salad was good and typical of a regular salad, consisting of mixed greens, shaved carrots, and cucumbers. Tomatoes would have been a nice addition. I forgot what dressing the salad came with. PARKING - Street parking only. SERVICE -- friendly and efficient. I asked for warm lemon water and it was brought right up. It wasn't a busy night especially since my friend and I arrived a bit later (around 7:45pm ish). FYI -- There are 2 sections of the establishment - Downstairs closes at 10pm - Upstairs closes at midnight but food ordering ends at 11pm The Feve is a popular restaurant amongst the Oberlin community, including students from nearby Oberlin college. While those living in Cleveland may not know about this restaurant, I'm glad that I ventured in. Stop on in and support this local business. **** GOAL of 250 reviews in 2026 - 159/250 total reviews in 2026 - 1000 total Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 12 July 2026
