Jakes at the Lake

Good was delicious! We had a lovely server, beautiful view. It was truly a great afternoon!

Absolutely no complaints. Food was amazing! Beautiful presentation, flavour and taste. Wonderful portion sizes for the price. Highly reccomend.

The dish “Jake’s Sauté” was made extremely poorly and the stench was abhorrent and unappetizing. The Risotto was also poorly made and was not what I had expected.

Mum and I had our last meal out before the end of my trip. Lots of room, nice and clean, friendly staff, fast service, great serving sizes, and loved the view too! Would be amazing in summer!

Always enjoyable, never had poor food. Great beer selection and they’ve now extended the outdoor patios so more can enjoy the views.

I didn’t want to rate this restaurant this low however, I was extremely disappointed with my food. I ordered Jakes Saute served with rice. On my plate was brown rice that was undercooked and chewy, and fish that was overcooked and dry. I didn’t want to be “The Complainer” so I didn’t say anything, but it ruined my food and my appetite. I hope this is an isolated case. The servers were amazing though.

Generous sizes, delicious food. I had a curry chicken soup as a soup of the day, it was very European (for good!) - very rich, lots of potatoes and tons of chicken, not just water like in many places. Cherry on the top was a big home-made cookie with kids menu. Definitely coming back!
The waitresses are very pleasant too!

My husband and I ate here a few weeks ago. The food and service was honestly great. Zero complaints. I wasn’t expecting much for lake cowichan in the off season, but we were pleasantly surprised. Wontons were delicious.

Great food and variety on menu. Friendly and swift service. Perfect pricing. Large portions (we had a Caesar)

It's super loud in this room. If you are looking for a quiet place for dinner, you might want to rethink. But food is good.

Perfect little spot to eat and dine, went for our anniversary, wife n I. Food was delicious, my ginger rice bowl was very good and with that a 6oz.glass of Jake's red house wine to finish. YUMM, lol. We were incredibly please with our visit, service, food and a positive environment to enjoy our meal.

Ginger rice bowl with Tofu was very good and a great vegan option. We had a large group and the staff did a great job making sure we all had a great experience. Other vegan options available but not many, a beyond or impossible burger option would have been nice. Overall a great experience.

If you are not from the lake this place is more than worth the drive! If you line in Lake Cowichan you should eat here every night. We had the most amazing service, appy and lunch in a very long time! Chef Peter has nailed the menu and Andrei is perfection.
Thanks Jakes at the lake team for a wonderful experience.

So impressed by this dining experience. The service was great and the beef dip was the best I have had in a long time.

June 27. Another great experience at Jake's.the butter chicken mac and cheese was delicious.

The restaurant was fine, service was good. The food was okay, however it seems like it was all frozen foods, adding a large amount of garnish does not dress it up. I understand the pandemic has affected this but maybe scale back the menu and focus on quality.

Bustling small town spot. Went twice during our visit. Great service, delicious food. The squid was unreal
