Hand-Cut Steaks and Seafood Across From Van Cortlandt Park
Settle into a multi-level limestone room for chops, swordfish, and lobster tail, steps from Van Cortlandt Park.
🥩 Steaks by the Park
Broadway meets the north edge of Van Cortlandt Park, and Jake's holds the corner with a stacked-stone facade and warm light in the upstairs windows. Inside, the dining room climbs across levels of limestone, with private nooks that stay quiet while the bar keeps its own steady hum. The kitchen hand-cuts its steaks and chops, then rounds the menu with fresh seafood. Regulars talk up the meaty, well-seasoned swordfish and the lobster tail, and few tables skip the mac and cheese under its golden crust. Prices lean upscale, and the room runs casual with a game usually on somewhere. Midweek, the doors open at noon, early enough for a long, unhurried lunch before dinner. Weekends carry later, with the kitchen going until 9:30 PM on Friday and Saturday.
