More information on Jake's Del Mar

The spirit of "aloha" permeates this Hawaiian-owned seafood-and-view outpost. Occupying a building originally constructed in 1910, Jake's has a perfect seat next to the sand so that diners on a series of terraces behind glass get straight-on views of the beach scene -- sunbathers, surfers, and the occasional school of dolphins pass by. The predictable menu can't live up to the panorama, but it's prepared competently and service is swift (too swift, actually -- don't let them rush you). At lunch you'll find a mixed seafood grill and pecan-crusted sea bass; sandwiches and salads round out the offerings. Dinner brings in the big boys: Maine lobster tails, giant scampi, and rack of lamb, for example. To enjoy the scene without the wallet wallop, come for happy hour (Mon-Fri 4-6pm and Sat 2:30-4:30pm), when a shorter bar/bistro menu is half-price; mai tais are just $3 on Wednesday. Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice.
