As I've essentially been out for most of the winter break, I suggested staying in for New Year's Eve. My parents, however, had other plans in mind, and we ended up going to Jake's Grill & Oyster House (previously visited here) for dinner.

Pictured above are the Crab & Endive Salad, P.E.I. Oysters, Nova Scotia Lobster Dinner, Blackened Mahi Mahi, Vegetable Ravioli, and Apple Crisp.

Compared to our last visit, the environment was definitely more hectic. Noise levels were significantly greater, and the food quality had been sacrificed as a result of the increase in volume of customers.
The Crab & Endive Salad was a mound of heavily salted stringy crab meat, with a side of fruit gelee that didn't taste too fruity and contained a tad too much gelatin. The "drizzle" of truffle oil on the Vegetable Ravioli was more like a pool of grease; the ravioli wasn't even ravioli either - the flat circular pieces of pasta contained no filling and were simply laid at the bottom of the oil-covered dish. The Mahi Mahi wasn't bad, though it suffered from the same greasy circumstances.
Finishing off with the Apple Crisp had undoubtedly been a good decision: while the dessert was still too sweet for our tastes, it proved to be a nice way to cut through the excess saltiness of the entrees we had already consumed.
