    N Shore was a 2nd home growing up and Jakes was always a must! Finally got a chance to return after 20 yrs and I can gladly say it's still good and definitely a must have if you are in Tahoe City.

    The Mai-Tai is delicious! but, if you are in the mood for fish, Ahi Tuna Jake Style and Macadamia crusted Halibut are AMAZING!!!

    Fish is fresh and well done, short ribs were fall-off-the-bone rich, poke rolls something new! Beautiful views and overall well concocted dishes. Definitely go if you are in Tahoe.

    Hula pie is always a good choice even if it isn't as good as the original kimos.

    Seafood medley was great, kids wolfed down the surf & turf, I had the braised ribs and it was delicious! Service by Jeff was also top notch!

    Standard mid-range mediocrity that one expects to find in Tahoe City. Awesome view, decent beer selection, pleasant space.

    Happy hour from 4:30-6:30 is a great deal. Try the $6 fish taco dinner or the $2 mai tai's

    Happy hour till 6:30 is awesome. Otherwise it's over-priced.
