Good Jakes Restaurant

Returned to Henry's Salt of the Sea after many, many years. It's a pretty small place and was…read morepacked on a Wednesday night like it was Saturday. A good indication of the quality. We were seated in a back booth which was quite comfortable. Our waitress was very friendly and took our drink order. She returned with those and brought a variety of warm bread and rolls. Very nice and tasty. We ordered entrees which all came with a salad and 2 sides. I selected the Broiled Twin Lobster Tails with a garden salad, mashed potatoes and mixed vegetables. The salad was delicious and a nice size. The Lobster tails were excellent. Succulent and flavorful. Truly the best I've had in years! The sides were well prepared and very tasty. I will be back here soon and I highly recommend this local gem to all seafood lovers.

Last night went and it happened with all of ours (4 in our party). I ordered a soda, two unsweetened tea's, and a water. The taste was a strong cleaning solution taste. We let our waiter know and asked for new glasses and cups. He brought us glass cups instead of plastic and all tasted the exact same, cleaning solution disgusting taste. We let the waiter know again, and opted for bottle water and glass bottle of mexican coke. The manager then came over and shared that this was an ongoing issue and suggested that it was the city and that they have bleach sometimes come thru or their water is dark and that there isn't anything they can do. What should be done is not sell fountain drinks or any drink and if it is the water which is used in all drinks and in food that should be a red flag for customers to be ingesting whatever this is. At the very least provide a disclaimer that drinks and food may be contaminated with whatever they believe it is.....and let the city know.

My friends and I had a reservation last Thursday at 6:15. We were warmly welcomed by the hostess upon arrival and promptly seated at our table. For appetizers, we shared the coconut shrimp, fried calamari, bacon wrapped scallops, and a crab cake. While everything was enjoyable, the standout was definitely the scallops. The bacon was perfectly crisp, the scallops tender and well-cooked, and the accompanying raspberry chipotle compote added a sweet and smoky touch. For my main course, I had the half pound lobster roll, tossed in rich brown butter and served on a perfectly toasted brioche bun. It was absolutely outstanding! I'd come back to Yoell's just for this. My buddy went with the surf & turf, which includes an 8 oz filet mignon, a 4 oz lobster tail, and jumbo lump crabmeat. Definitely a great choice, he was more than satisfied! The service wasn't terrible, but it was surely disappointing. Our server lacked friendliness and any sense of personality.

At first it was a little rough and then it became outstanding for a while. And then it started to slip again. Haven't been back since it started to slip. Freshness and good ingredients are very important. It seemed like the ingredients were slipping the last time we were there. We have not been back. There's a lot of good restaurants in this area that don't slip. So we stick with our favorites for now but, we do like to try new things. Most of the time the service is spot on and really nice. Such a shame to have all those good things in place and not pay attention to the most important detail. Food quality is where it starts. If you don't do this correctly and use subpar raw ingredients down to every detail, you're wasting all the hard earned resources that you have to work with. It's a desperate move, not a move that is going to lead to a long term successful business of any kind. The key is sticking to quality and find a way to keep going with those good ingredients. Lower prices can jumpstart the business again. And, if you're fortunate enough to get your customers back and your business grows again, lower your prices just a little to show your appreciation for your customers. Sincere good will is what you want and what you need to spread. Don't allow greed to return even in difficult times if they should return. And in regards to ambiance, we found it to be nice but, on occasion the shades weren't blocking the sun well enough. Small, yet important detail. Clean restrooms are also very important. I understand that you can't be everywhere at once but, like a security guard, you can do a run from station to station or restroom or freezer to check that everything is all good. I used to work in a kitchen for a few years. I loved the first one but, the second one had some people that I couldn't work around. Two entirely different experiences. The second one drove me back to pursuing my music career again and I am still at it. I will be playing at The Water Lantern Festival on July 18th at Cedar Beach Park in Allentown. My set is at 8 pm. And try not to look sad. I understand it's not going to be easy. Good things don't come easy is a saying that I heard a long time ago and I understand it from experience. And I can testify that it worked for me.

We started off with so many appetizers, I missed getting photos of them all. Oysters on the half shell, fresh and delicious! Jumbo lump crab cocktail, chilled with a brown butter. Good sized chunks, and the cool crab went well with the warm butter. Jumbo shrimp cocktail served with a fresh cocktail sauce. It was ok, the shrimp were a little overdone in my opinion but not terrible. Ahi tuna tips. Sesame seed crusted and served with a creamy wasabi cucumber dip. Incredible. Then finally the seasonal roasted strawberry bruschetta. Served on a crispy piece of bread with a ricotta spread. Sweet and savory all at once. Another delicious app that I would recommend you try. The waitress brought us a big basket of complimentary rolls that were warm and tasted like they just came out of the oven. For my main I got the seasonal pecan crusted mahi mahi and topped with a dill and lemon butter. The fish was perfectly cooked, moist and flaky. The pecans were fresh and had a great crunch and the lemon dill sauce paired so well, I soaked up every drop with my fish. The meal came with mashed potatoes and green beans. They were good.
