Not special in any way. A mixed menu with no focus or style. Had squash blossom starter and potato chip house specialty but underwhelmed despite well prepared. Had the 12oz ribeye. Cooked perfectly to med rare but was thin and the absence of a bone seemed like some zing was missing; it was good, just not great. The sides were good, creamed spinach and really loved the duck fried rice, actually my favorite item of the meal. Good wine list. Terrible dessert options: all squishy puddings or soft baby food type items. That was disappointing. Good service. Very noisy and not a pleasant place to have an intimate convo...just too loud with little noise dampening features. Bare decor. Restroom could definitely use some attention; might have been fresh at some point, but not when I visited. Not a good look. Probably would not go back given the many other options in LA, especially for steak, but was an OK try.

Tonight was our second time visiting Jar for dinner and it did not disappoint. I’m so glad upscale dining still exists in LA. It’s refreshing to be in a restaurant where you can hear each other speak and not have to fight with the music. The meal was so good, I want to try and make it a point to visit more often. I started with the Lychee martini, and the arugula salad. But the star of the evening was the ribeye cooked to perfection and the purple yams. Combined with the pea tendrils, the meal was spectacular.

I took someone very special to me to Jar for the very first time and I say that she and I had an incredible evening. The ambiance was amazing, the staff was welcoming and hospitable. And the food was exceptional per usual. My girlfriend now understands why I love this place so much and we will be returning often.

Our favorite steakhouse restaurant. We’ve had a lot of dinners in this town and nothing comes close to the coziness and deliciousness of this place. Servers are top notch, and the food they serve us is outta this world. I disliked all chocolate desserts until I popped my cherry with their CHOCOLATE PUDDING. Totally recommend. Enjoy!

Great experience the Chef came out said hi to us. She is amazing food is amazing. Also Nick our waiter made it so much better 
Robbie
Lovely as always but very very noisy. Service was good, food was good, one or 2 items a little less than usual, I think because it was so busy!
Benny
It's lost something. The last time i went i felt it too. This reinforced that maybe i need a new spot.

for what they charge, the food has to be better than it is, way better. $20 for seasoned fries, these aren't even the third best fries i've eaten. $23 for clam chowder, um no sorry. ya these are just the sides/starters, but the mains didn't knock me over either. i get it, running a fine dining establishment is expensive, but jar is phoning it in at this point. there are way better options, and by better i mean exciting, surprising and daring, for the money. service was great tho.

this is my 4th time at Jar and the food, service and ambience has been excellent every time. i can't wait to go again.

Consistently a great meal. From the room to the service to the decadent food, Jar is one of the best Los Angeles has to offer. Pot roast, mashed potatoes and squash blossoms- you can't go wrong.
I'm always so happy when I eat at Jar. The restaurant is so easy and beautiful. The food is always delicious. The staff knows the menu, and the cocktails are always so good.

Very romantic scenery, the food was amazing and the ambiance made it extra special. We had the lamb, which was perfectly cooked. And the chicken which was moist and flavourful.

A friend's night out to celebrate a special birthday. First time for two of us. We were all on the same wave length and ordered the char siu pork (YES!) and shared the duck friend rice (YES!) and creamed spinach. Dessert was the special - a peach crisp; brought out with a candle and low key happy birthday. Service was excellent and Chris, our waiter, very helpful in making decisions. I will definitely return.

We were pleasantly surprised with the overall experience at this restaurant. Everything was excellent and we enjoyed the old world charm. Our waiter was awesome.
