Tom Sietsema visits the newly opened Jake's American Grille for a First Bite this week and is thoroughly unimpressed with the fare: "Cold shredded duck, three outsize cherry tomatoes, underdressed greens and plantain chips make for a clumsy starter, and a rib-eye over-rubbed with cayenne, ground espresso, pepper and cumin just slaps the tongue silly." Sietsema adds he hopes the restaurant will upgrade its menu when it debuts a downstairs game room this spring. [WaPo]
