Jake's Grill & Oyster House

The food here is absolutely delicious! My personal recommendation is the shrimp scampi. It is also a cozy and romantic atmosphere too. The staff is super friendly and attentive. One of our favorite restaurants in Portland. Five stars all the way!

Where do I start this was out first time coming here we came for my moms birthday. My brother was the one who found this place, I think our server was Brian, if you ever get him you are lucky one of the best services I have ever had hands down from the moment we walked in to the when we left everything was so good and delicious. I would definitely come back and definitely recommend this place to everyone else. The service was hands down really good the food was so delicious . My mom loved and enjoyed everything and as long as my moma is happy that’s all that matter at the end of the night. Thank you Brian for making this night unforgettable and thank you for being so kind and helpful really appreciate your service. Look forward to seeing you next time we come. 10/10 place if you have not been here what are you waiting for.

Dinner was delicious. The ambience is beautiful. Our server Bryan was on point from the moment we sat down. He knew the menu well and made great recommendations. We will be returning.

We found this place totally by accident. My bf and I planned to go to a different restaurant in the area but Google map messed up the location. And we found ourselves stuck in a random parking lot and we were hungry. Looked up a random food place nearby and this restaurant popped up. And I must say, it more than made up for the wait since we now found another good restaurant to recommend to our friends I got oysters, clam chowder and braised beef. All tasted great and flavorful. Nice environment all-around. Cozy feeling. Perfect spot for those romantic dates if you ask me. Will definitely come back to try other dishes.

Really bad experience. I stayed at the sentenial hotel. I was really disappointed that even though the restaurant is located in the lobby of the sentenial, they only offer room service for three hours between 7am-10am. It was 5pm and we wanted room service. Our hotel information cards stated to order room service, you must order online and pick up. We did that. I went down to pick our food up when they stated it was ready. I waited 15+ additional minutes. The hostess brought up my order, but I noticed I was missing my steak. The hostess handed me half my order and said since they forgot my steak, they're firing it now and it will be ready soon. I was upset that I was handed half my order... its getting soggy, and asked them to refire everything. I waited another 20+ minutes. Got my food and went back to my hotel room. Realized we had no utensils. I told them multiple times I was a hotel guest... in my mind that communicated we needed utensils. Went back downstairs, told them I had no utensils... they replied "oh my gosh, you didn't get utensils??", waited for utensils. Went back upstairs. Realized I was given no condiments. No ketchup for the fries, no tartar sauce for the fish and chips... Not worth another trip to the restaurant. My fried food was already soggy and I didn't want to spend another 15 minutes getting condiments after my trip to find utensils. The next morning, we ordered breakfast. They messed up our order again, we had to wait another 15 minutes to get our complete order, while the rest of our food dies. I spent $200+ at this restaurant and received worse service and food than McDonald's. 100% truth, McDonald's would have provided better food and better service than Jake's. If you're looking to splurge on a nice dinner like I was... stay far away from this place. I spent a lot of money for a nice experience, and was completely disappointed. I paid for a nice, luxurious experience, and felt completely scammed. I want my money back. Should have gone to McDonald's and saved $170.

Loved Jake's Grill, and their Happy hour menu / regular main dishes. I think the prices are pretty decent! I'd totally come here, over and over again.Food: 5/5

Jake's Grill was very conveniently located across the street from our hotel. The food and drinks were pretty good. In fact, we came here twice during our four day stay in Portland. We mistakenly thought this was Jake's Crawfish, which was one of the restaurants I wanted to try while in town, but I'm glad we stumbled upon this instead. The first time, we came in on a Saturday evening for happy hour. Yes, they have happy hour bar only even on weekends from 4 to 6 PM! This would be unheard of in NYC. They have both drink and food specials. For drinks, I had the Pear-Adise Absolut Pear, lime juice, simple syrup, orange juice, sprite. I'm not normally a fan of flavored vodkas but I was in a pear-y mood and I'm really glad I ordered this. It was really good, and not overly sweet. I ended up getting two of these! For food, we had: Raw Oyster Shooters - this was very meh. Unfortunately, it was drowning in cocktail sauce so that's all I tasted. I couldn't even taste the oyster Dungeness Crab and Lobster Dip - this was basically like an artichoke dip with lobster. It was really good but rich and is served with some fresh pita bread American Kobe Beef Carpaccio served with baby arugula, truffle oil, garlic oil, crostini - this was my favorite. Everything just went really well together. It was like having a mini raw beef sandwich The second time, we came on a Sunday night because my husband noticed they have a prime rib special on Sunday nights. This time, I tried the 2 Berry Punch cocktail DL Franklin vodka, orange and lemon juice, blackberries, strawberries, simple syrup. I could only have one because it was way too sweet for me. For food, to start off, we ordered half a dozen oysters and some New England clam chowder to share. The chowder was a nice way to start the meal. The oysters on the other hand were just mediocre. Some of them were not shucked correctly. As for the special, for $36, you get two pieces of prime rib, mashed potatoes, carrots & green beans, and a soup or salad. This was pretty good but I must say that the star of the show was actually the salad. It wasn't a typical mixed salad, but it also had mandarin orange, candied walnuts, blue cheese, dried cranberries, with a raspberry vinaigrette. I don't even like walnuts but something about it just worked. For my main, I ordered the Northwest Cedar Plank Salmon lemon thyme risotto, seasonal vegetable, harvest squash purée. I usually don't like cooked salmon because it tends to be overcooked but I really wanted to try the salmon up in the Pacific Northwest since it's supposed to be good. Unfortunately, it was in fact overcooked. But I did like the harvest squash puree - it was unique. Overall, I think I enjoyed the happy hour experience better than the full dinner experience. I would recommend just coming for the happy hour specials and filling up on that.

This fine dining American fare eatery is located inside the historic Sentinel Hotel, Portland, OR. These Happy Hour favorites Vine ripe tomato bruschetta and American Kobe beef carpaccio are a succulent pairing. I look forward to sampling the menu items.

beef carpaccio appetizer was good but the steaks tasted like they had been previously frozen. just look at my medium rare steak after I cut into it. the texture was terrible.Food: 2/5

Old school, speakeasy vibe with white tablecloth service and decor. Massive fireplace with private dining options, full bar, and steak/seafood options . My favorite things on the menu were the shrimp and lobster cake and apple upside down pie.
