Profile

Being a sports bar is kind of like being a high-school jock: It’s great while it lasts, but few make the transition to a more sophisticated level comfortably. A welcome exception is Jake’s Steakhouse, an elegant, clubby meatery across from Van Cortlandt Park. Replete with dark gleaming wood and crisp white table linens, both the casual downstairs bar-and-booths area and the more formal dining room upstairs retain the mellow affability of a local watering-hole, but add to it the polish that a football hero’s parents can only hope he’ll acquire in the Ivy League. Flavors here are strong rather than subtle, but no less well-chosen for that: Jake’s filet mignon dresses up the flavorful meat with a sharp gorgonzola topping and frizzled onions, and a hefty serving of pork chops is unexpectedly enhanced by caramelized apples in a robust Dijon sauce. Even salads offer original and tasty combinations: The brie salad mixes a hearty helping of its namesake cheese with shiitake mushrooms, pecans, and romaine in a raspberry vinaigrette. Standards like creamed spinach and garlic mashed potatoes are cooked to classical perfection. If there’s one thing sports fans appreciate, it’s maintaining those time-honored traditions.

After a recent Yankee game we were craving some delicious food and thought of Jake's. Pessimistic about getting reservations on such short notice, we were able to score reservations for 7:30 on a Friday night. We headed to the...Read More

More sports bar than steakhouse, more BX than NYC

For the most part, the food we tried here was not bad, but don't be fooled by reviews saying this is a NYC steakhouse in the Bronx. If you drive, arrive early: street parking is scarce and it took 20...Read More
