Jar is a Modern American Chophouse that stands for “Just Another Restaurant.” However, for me, it is not just another restaurant. Jar is a very intimate, small, and delicious restaurant with excellent service, great food, and great ambiance. When entering the restaurant, I already knew I would have a wonderful time. We had perfect seating, and our waiter, John, and the wait staff were very on top of it, and everything came out in perfect timing, not too slowly but not too quickly. We started with appetizers and drinks. I am all for a White Russian, so that was my first drink, and then for the table, we got a dozen oysters and black mussels. I’m actually not a fan of mussels, but these mussels were really delicious. For my main meal, I got a skirt steak. John recommended that each of us get one side and share for the table. I went with the purple yams, which was delicious! I had never had them before, and I was surprised by how really, really, really good they were. As for dessert, we got three for the table; this included the chocolate pudding, the banana cream pie, and a slice of red velvet cake. I also got a cappuccino because I have to get coffee with dessert. The desserts were a little disappointing; the only really good thing was the banana cream pie. The red velvet cake was really dry, and the chocolate pudding was just blah.

Delicious classics and many reinventions. The atmosphere is so regal and chic but not overly done. It is a true exception in San Francisco in terms of service and atmosphere. The food is good if not great and i would choose Jar for many good conversations with close friends to discuss life changes while having a meal deserving of the occasion

Jar is an acronym for Just Another Restaurant, which specializes in classic American dishes but elevated. Last night was my first time dining for dinner but it won’t be my last. I love how low lit it is and every seat in the house is very comfortable whether you sit in a booth or one of the tables. Our server John was also very knowledgeable, funny, and did a great job. We arrived 20 minutes early and didn’t expect to be seated until our booked time but they offered to seat us early and did so, which was really appreciated.

One of the best restaurants in all of Los Angeles. Phenomenal meal, great service, and was overall very pleased with both the experience, welcoming staff, and food as a whole.

Suzanne is a disgrace. She takes no responsibility for errors in her kitchen. So insecure about herself instead of offering hospitality.

Best restaurant EVER! Everything is delicious and bursting with flavor! Lemongrass chicken is a must as well as the brussel sprouts, purple yams, skirt steak, castelfranc salad, etc.

DO NOT EAT HERE! The food was subpar, we tried to send something back, the chef came out to speak to us with her arms crossed and very defensive. Also told us we were wrong and the food was cooked perfectly. She was super rude to us and we were nothing but nice.

This was one of our best meals ever. The halibut was flaky, moist, and delicate. The sauce accompanying it made it complete. The braised short ribs were outstanding. The sides were fantastic especially the Brussels Sprouts and the onion rings. Jar is still one of LAs best restaurants. Don’t miss the banana cream pie.
