Jar

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. Some things to remember: If you’re going to head to jar, which I recommend, they do not have valet parking which I did not like. We ended up parking on the street, but we found out after the fact that we could have parked in the garage across the street. If you want to dine inside, you must show your vaccination card and ID. If you do not have it, you can dine outside. However, I feel to get the whole experience of Jar, inside dining is the way to go

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. They have many great menu options so I will have to come back again to try a few more but this time I started with the Roasted Beets and they were really delicious. There was a healthy size of Burrata with it and the beets were perfectly sweet. For my entrée I chose their signature dish The Pot Roast. It was one of the better ones that I have ever had and eating it with the creamy horseradish on the side is a must. Honestly it’s so good I would go back for that dish alone. For dessert I chose the butterscotch Budino because it’s one of my personal favorite desserts and it did not disappoint. It was a large portion but still went quickly. Overall it was a really nice dinner and I would recommend to anyone for any occasion. We sat next to a large work dinner, but I think it would also be perfect for a date or a dinner with friends or family. I will be back in the near future.

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.

I had eaten at JAR years ago when it had opened and then somehow it had dropped off my radar. I am so happy to have re-discovered this gem of a restaurant. The interior is a bit dated, but still wonderfully comfortable with its elegant, private supper club feeling. The service and food are at a level you rarely find in LA. In a post COVID world I have come to expect weak or understaffed servers even in the finest restaurants. Not so at JAR, from the host to the servers the staff are professional, knowledgeable, and top notch. The food is extraordinarily sublime. Their take on American classic / retro inspired dishes is Michelin star level. The dishes are familiar sounding but executed in such a modern context that everything on the menu and the multitude of specials explode on your plate in both taste and presentation. This is a reinvention of a chophouse and quite simply extraordinary. Unlike many of the celebrity chef’d restaurants, Suzanne herself is almost always in the kitchen. Moreover, she takes the time each evening to go from table to table to greet you and ask if you are enjoying your meal. I cannot enthusiastically rave enough about this unique, wonderful restaurant. Although the name stands for “Just Another Restaurant” this place is anything but that, it is rare find and by far still one of the best restaurants in Los Angeles.

Everything about this place takes you back to when food and service were impeccable. It's a lovely room with delicious food and drinks and knowledgeable, friendly staff. Highly recommend

Came in and got cookies and butterscotch late night at the bar. ? The dessert was good but the vibe was even better thanks to Kat!

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.
