Jake's Del Mar ReviewOccupying a building originally constructed in 1910, Jake's has a perfect seat next to the sand so that diners 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 (sometimes 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 rib-eye steak, 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 up to half-off; mai tais are $4 on Wednesday.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
