Jake's

Fodor's Review:

Owner-chef Bruce Cooper (his wife is Jake) has maintained a reputation for food that is innovative but somehow classic, from braised short ribs to apple-cider barbecued salmon. Everything is complemented by quality wines and a soothing, sophisticated dining room. Cooper has a particular affinity for scallops, and transforms them into exquisite appetizers. The crab cakes are also outstanding, and the signature cookie taco makes a great ending. The Sunday brunch is always popular.
