Editorial Review for JaK's Grill – by Nicole Christie
The Scene
The place is small and crowded, but it exudes a certain "old money" appeal, thanks to dark woods, dim lighting and plenty of red meat. Since reservations aren't taken, the wait is likely to be at least an hour on Friday and Saturday nights. Wise diners arrive early for the quickest seats and most relaxed service.
The Food
Bring on the steaks--filet, New York strip and porterhouse, to name just a few. All entrees include a bare-bones salad and choice of potatoes: The garlic skin-on mashed reds or savory grilled potato pancakes are easy favorites. For intense flavor, the pork medallions topped with a mandarin orange salsa or grilled ancho chili-seasoned prawns deliver powerful punches of seasoning. Desserts don't disappoint, especially the creamy cheesecake with strawberry-mint sauce or moist, fudgy chocolate decadence cake.

the staff are rude and who would rightly wait 3 hours to get a table? i refuse to submit to this insanity.

Since new ownership has come in over the last few years this place is seriously going downhill. What was once the premier steakhouse in Seattle is quickly becoming Denny's. They've lost their focus on good food and have started sullying the menu with sh!t like mac and cheese and *onion rings* and steaks with sauces. They're also now doing lunch and a Sunday brunch. Even the steaks have been "meh" the last several times eating there. It seems the new owners are only interested in milking as much short-term money from a once-great thing. JaK's was once my favorite restaurant (to which I've brought many business clients) - I'm sadly looking for another.
