Jake's on the Lake

10Best Says

Jake's serves lunch only on weekends, but the seafood-focused menu is worth an entire week's wait. Enjoy spectacular views of the marina on the North Shore of Lake Tahoe as you dig into grilled prawns with basil and prosciutto, a shrimp and crab melt with provolone over English muffins, or a buttermilk and panko chicken sandwich. Salads, soups, and several desserts are on hand to round out your meal. A kids' menu ensures that families leave happy. If you're making an afternoon of it, the full bar has its own menu, along with specialty cocktails, wines, and draft and bottled beers.
