Had a great dinner at 5:30 on January 18, for four, my actual birthdate. It's a quaint place where people join in conversation, drinks and tasty snacks. John waited on us and was excellent. He told me JAR means Just Another Restaurant. Hmm? Suzanne visited our table and wished me happy birthday. Her eyes sparkled when we talked about how wonderful the dinner experience was. We had Fries, onion rings, cocktails , cha chu pork, ribeye, special bone in buffalo steak, pea tendrils, duck fried rice, Kim chi Brussel sprouts, chocolate pudding, and after dinner drinks. Fast forward, February 16. Dinner for 3. Chris waited on us and was very attentive. Everything was great as before except for the special duck beast special. It was extremely dry and flavorless. I apologize, I had to send it back and asked for a ribeye steak instead and it was delicious. See you soon!

Wow what an experience! We had a fantastic dinner here for Christmas Eve, and it was all around a good time. Absolutely recommend coming here, in fact we'll definitely be back soon ourselves! Food: 5/5 My partner and I had been snacking and restaurant hopping prior to going to dinner, so we ended up splitting a steak. I was a little worried about how that might be perceived in a venue like this, but our waiter was very friendly and made us feel very comfortable with doing that. We ordered the Prime Ribeye & Jar French Fries. Both were DELICIOUS. I had read some reviews prior for both of these menu picks stating that they were over salted and overcooked, but I would disagree wholeheartedly with those reviews. The steak was a perfect medium-rare for us, the fat melted in our mouths, and the fries were deliciously well-seasoned. I'm usually picky about fat on steak cuts, but I ate all of it without any complaint. One of the best steaks I've ever had, and I've eaten at a lot of steakhouses globally. My partner was so happy with the meal as well, as I recall them telling me about how "even though we were so full, the more I eat this the hungrier I get!" And that was so true! Dessert: 4/5 We got a Butterscotch Pudding to split & I got an Espresso Martini. The Martini was unusually strong, at least for me (I have a high tolerance), so the point down is for that. But again, shoutout to our waiter! He brought a little cup of chocolate sauce for me to add to my drink to make it less heavy, which helped considerably. The pudding was also so good. It was whipped, light, and airy, and again--normally I have an issue with certain textures but even the whipped cream I enjoyed! I usually greatly dislike whipped cream. But not this one. The flavor wasn't too rich, and it was just perfect! My partner was a big fan of this one too. Service: 5/5 OUTSTANDING! I believe his name was Daniel? I might be wrong, but my partner would likely know for sure. I'll update this review later for that! But oh my goodness he was fantastic. My partner rarely dines out, especially at upscale fine dining establishments. So he was a bit nervous however, our waiter made all of these worries dissipate. He was so fun, so energetic, and so accommodating! His silly santa hat was the cherry on top, plus all of the menu recommendations. At the start of the evening we had a significant wait time despite having a reservation. But all of that quickly was out of sight & out of mind because of the great service. Thank you for making our evening so special! We were more than happy to tip him well, especially for working on a holiday evening. All around: 5/5! I highly recommend this restaurant, and we'll be back soon! Happy holidays Jar!!

So we started with a couple of cocktails then several appetizers; crab deviled eggs, roasted beet salad and the Roquefort wedge salad. Three of us shared the John Dory, onion rings and the creamed spinach. Everything was excellent, and the service was terrific. Keven, our waiter did an amazing job. Desert was banana cream pie and a sundae.

Saw Jar get a cameo on "Bosch" and was sucked in. I can see why the Amazon location guys said "we gotta write this in!" Classic and you walk out feeling like you have had a truly LA night. Do it!

A few weeks ago I had time to kill before meeting some friends for dinner, so I wandered into Jar, which I didn't know, to have a cocktail. I sat at the bar and ordered the Naughty Martini (Blue cheese olives!) The people next to me offered me an onion ring from the (enormous) plate of them that had just arrived. It was amazing. They asked me if I was a regular (they were). I told them I'd never been there before and they said, "So now you'll be a regular. They were right. I couldn't have dinner there that night, but I've now been back three times. The chef, Suzanne Tracht, is amazing, and can frequently be seen around the dining room, chatting with patrons and making sure everything is just right. The ambiance is wonderful, elegant and quiet. I plan on trying everything on the menu over time. Everything I've had so far has been spectacular, such as the pot roast, for which Tracht is famous. The specials I've had (scallops and a porterhouse) were perfect, as are all the appetizers and sides I've tried (get the crab deviled eggs and the creamed corn!) And cocktails can't be beat. Try the new addition to the menu, the "Not a Negroni." And the Naughty Martini with the blue cheese olives is also great.

This is a wayyy overdue review on this hidden gem of a restaurant. I've been a huge fan of Jar for years. In fact, I had a fabulous birthday dinner party there, during the holidays. It was a success! What can I say??? The food is consistently delicious, and the service is on point. I love the way the restaurant is set up. I've tried EVERYTHING on their menu, and my favorites are the pot roast, lemongrass chicken, the crab deviled eggs, the wild salmon, and their butterscotch pudding! Don't be afraid to try something new and different. Take the opportunity to try something exciting. Everything is tasty! I've NEVER had a bad experience, here. Overall, this award-winning restaurant is worth a try, if you haven't. I can't wait to come back!!
