History

Jake's on the Lake was established in 1978 by Sandy Saxten and Robert Thibaut, the second restaurant part of T S Restaurants.[2] In 1978, Boatworks Mall was built, the current location of the restaurant.[3] In 2005, Robert Thibaut's brother, Chris Thibaut, purchased Jake's on the Lake,[2] and Scott Yorkey was hired as the head chef. In 2012, access was allowed through the Tahoe City Marina and it was reported a bike path was "soon–to–be–completed".[4] The lease expired in late 2025 and the restaurant closed on November 1, largely due to more seasonal demand.[2][5][6] The restaurant reopened for the last summer in 2026.[7]
