Lighter Fare, Big Flavor

Spring is the perfect time to try something a little lighter, brighter, and fresher, and Jakers’ seasonal picks hit the mark:

🥗 Steak or Salmon Salad – Grilled to perfection and served atop a fresh bed of greens, topped with gorgonzola, candied pecans, and huckleberry vinaigrette.

🦐 Cedar Plank Salmon – A flavorful classic that’s wood-grilled and served with seasonal vegetables and jasmine rice.

🌮 Fish Tacos – Lightly blackened cod, crisp slaw, and house-made sauce wrapped in warm flour tortillas—fresh, flavorful, and perfect for sharing.

🍝 Seafood Linguini – For something a little more indulgent, this dish combines shrimp, scallops, salmon, and cod in a silky herb-wine alfredo.

Spring Cocktails & Wine Pairings

Date night at Jakers wouldn’t be complete without a few signature sips. This season, we recommend pairing your favorite dishes with these refreshing drinks:

🍹 Huckleberry Mule – A playful Idaho twist on the classic Moscow Mule, with berry notes and a ginger kick.

🍓 Strawberry Fizz – Crisp and bubbly with a hint of citrus and muddled fresh berries—ideal for toasting something sweet.

🍷 Raeburn Chardonnay or Storypoint Pinot Noir – Smooth, food-friendly wines that pair beautifully with seafood, steak, and good conversation.
