Jake's Famous Crawfish
Jake's Famous Crawfish Review
Diners have been enjoying fresh Pacific Northwest seafood in Jake's warren of wood-paneled dining rooms for more than a century. The back bar came around Cape Horn during the 1880s, and the chandeliers hanging from the high ceilings date from 1881. The restaurant gained a national reputation in 1920, when crawfish was added to the menu. White-coated waiters take your order from an almost endless sheet of daily seafood specials—which can include cedar plank roasted salmon, pecan crusted catfish, Dungeness crab, and Bay shrimp cakes. If you're dining during crawfish season (May-September), sample the tasty crustacean in pie, cooked Creole style, or in a Cajun-style stew over rice.
