My Daughter and friends thoroughly enjoyed a special evening this week at Jakes. The chef and the front of house staff were very responsive to the needs of 10 x young 12 year old girls celebrating and having fun. They provided a special italian experience of putting together their own pizzas whilst having their own room to enjoy the evening... More

Jakes has a great atmosphere, and the food is really delicious. The staff couldn't be more helpful or friendly, and the decor is fab. If you're in Harrogate, make sure you find time to pop in for coffee and cake, or a glass of wine and some delicious Italian nibbles. You'll regret it if you don't!

As a Harrogate resident I'm in and out of Jakes all the time for coffee and cake with the girls, business lunches and evenings out and can honestly say I've never had a bad experience. The staff are friendly and attentive (and quickly get to know your preference, if you're a regular) and the food is simply out of this... More

I love this place. I visit regularly and am never disappointed by the quality of the food or the service and am always made to feel welcome. The staff are very helpful and it's my venue of choice for my business meetings. I've been in today and didn't even have to state my order; although it's never assumed I'll have... More

A varied choice for lunch, and very nice food when it arrived. The decor is lovely but service could be better.

I organised a meal for 11 girls at Jake's as part of a Hen weekend for my friend. I spoke to Andy when booking, who was very helpful and suggested various options that would suit my party (including a gluten-free person and one with a nut allergy). Prior to the meal, I also exchanged several emails with Suzanne, the owner,... More

I booked a table for 13 people at Jakes for Saturday night after originally planning on going to The Orchid. From start t o finish the service was faultless. Suzanne the MD and Andi the Manager were extremely accomodating and nothing was too much trouble. On the actual night the lager pump wasn't working and one of our party prefers... More

We visited here as a group of 14 ladies enjoying a celebration and were appalled by the service. We were led upstairs to a lovely airy room, and seated immediately as there was only one other party of 6 in, who were already eating. It took 15 mins for the waiters to take our orders, including drinks. In the time... More
