Jake's Steakhouse - BRONX

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Jake's Steakhouse on West 242nd Street in the Bronx, and it was an exceptional experience. The warm ambiance set the perfect tone for our date from the moment we walked in. The service was top-notch—attentive but not overbearing. We started with the crabcake, which was perfectly seasoned and served with a tangy remoulade. The mini filet mignon crostinis were a delicious appetizer, with tender beef on crispy bread and just the right amount of seasoning. For the main course, I chose the roasted lamb shank, which was incredibly tender and flavorful, while my date enjoyed a baked potato that was fluffy and loaded with toppings. We finished off the evening with a decadent crème brûlée, with its creamy custard and crispy caramelized top providing a perfect ending to a wonderful night. Jake's Steakhouse provided a memorable dining experience, making it the perfect spot for a romantic date.

In my more than 40 years in New York City, I had never been to this steakhouse before. Let me tell you what an amazing experience it was! We were seated upstairs with a window view of the park, which was absolutely beautiful. The cocktails were fantastic. We started with the tuna tartare tower, which was enough to share between three people. The presentation of the tower was unique and the flavor still has my mouth watering! For our main course, we ordered the filet mignon with potato croquettes and asparagus. My daughter had the twin lobster tails. The steak was hands down one of the best I have ever had! I ordered it medium-cooked and it was perfect. The lobster tail with the buttery lemon sauce was incredible. You could probably just sit and dip bread in the sauce and it would be a winner! The cappuccino was delicious, and the bread pudding was outstanding. Lastly, the service was impeccable. Thank you for such a wonderful dining experience!

We went to the restaurant specifically for a lobster dinner, arriving at 6pm, only to be told that they were already sold out. We had received emails promoting a special lobster dinner offered from Friday-Sunday, so we were disappointed and felt it was unfair to be turned away.

Well the first issues was it was freezing, the AC was on blast. Even after speaking to our server and he turned it down it was still way too cold. This made the entire experience uncomfortable. Then my meal was very disappointing; I ordered the Short Ribs and they were dry. And because the AC was on blast our meals were cold about 2 minutes after we were served.

Not only that the steak was soooo good the buffalo wings and honey wings was off the chains.
