    My family and I had dinner at Jake's on the Water during our recent trip to Potsdam. Unfortunately,…read morewe couldn't sit outside because of the rain, but our table inside still offered a great view of the water. The restaurant wasn't crowded, but there were enough guests to give it a nice atmosphere. It felt comfortable, relaxed, and not noisy at all. We started with the Kung Pao Cauliflower, which was excellent. Even my kids, who don't usually enjoy vegetables, ate every bite. For their meals, both kids ordered brick oven pizzas. My older child had the Labrador and finished the entire pizza by himself, while my younger child ordered the Authentic with pepperoni and really enjoyed it. My wife ordered the fish of the day, and I chose the scallop special. Overall, the food was very good, the service was pleasant, and the waterfront setting made for an enjoyable dining experience. I would definitely return the next time I'm in the area.

    My wife and I came up to this neck of the woods while visiting family and had a great meal here…read more The location is beautifully located on the water (unfortunately our visit was more gray and gloomy outside). All of the staff we interacted with were great and friendly. Our family from this area raved about their poutine, but a recent menu change got rid of it. Despite that they had a variety of starters/apps, sandwiches, pizzas, steaks, plus other entrees including some specials on a separate little menu. Included on that was two cocktails that we tried, I had two of their Strawberry Rhubarb Collins that was light and easy to drink with just enough strawberry and rhubarb flavor. My wife had their special sangria which had tons of flavor. Both fantastic drinks! As a group we split some pretzel sticks as well as some bang bang shrimp. With both being great bites before our meals with the beer cheese and mustard for the pretzels along with the shrimp sweet chili aioli being perfect dips. Lastly for the main event my wife and I were on the same wavelength and got their Vodka Chicken Parm, that originally was to come on top rice pilaf but both substituted for house made pasta. Everything from the vodka sauce, to the house made pasta, to the chicken were fantastic! Would gladly get it again. If we lived around here I would picture this being a regular stop for us! Friendly and welcoming staff with well made drinks and delicious food! Give it a try!

    Jake's on the Water - The contrast of lighting doesn't show this well, but we had an "interior" table tucked well back but still had a great river/lake/flow view.

    What a delight it was to find this family-run place, that is eccentric and very individualistic…read morewhile still catering to what I'd call a baseline of cuisine options. One gets the sense the proprietors just decided on a limited menu of things they liked to cook, a little something for everyone, and have just stuck to that and done everything very, very well. The variety, for example, runs from regional standards like poutine (deliciously done with what appeared to be scratch-made gravy and unusually good cheese curds), PEI mussels, and smoked meat (on brioche!) to some Filipino classics (Adobo! Pansit!) to recipes straight out of Julia Child (salmon with hollandaise, eggs benedict, chicken cordon bleu) to a delicious house special of the only-found-in-Cornwall Cornwall pizza (Edward's, well-recommended) to some nouvelle (a lovely beet salad, a brilliant quinoa paella breakfast melange) to a good old fashioned club sandwich (a dying art). I was particularly taken with the soup of the day -- a tomato basil that sounds plain, but which had the most delicious combination of savory and slightly piquant spicing that was quite unexpected and very welcome. Really unusual. And I take it well that the other chef's special soup was out -- positive proof it's made in small batches fresh. Everything was very tasty, hot out of the kitchen, and fresh. All this with friendly service (well handled in the front of a house by a single server -- we think one of the owners, with a kitchen assistant bringing some things out) and unbelievably good prices (low double digits C$ on everything, which made it very affordable in US$). The decor is a little odd, and the place is a shotgun with only a front window (have they moved? the place looks nothing like previous photos posted here in Yelp), but the vibes and food more than make up for the somewhat strange ambiance. The diners were a mixed crowd as well, and it's always nice to see a place that attracts people on lunch break from their business and students and layabout tourists such as ourselves all in one delicious mix.

    I have always had a great meal there. Delicious choices. Friendly service. A real gem in Cornwall.read more
