After being a regular at Jones for 8 years, our visit on November 25, 2025 was extremely uncomfortable. The host Sage met us with hostility whether we wanted a booth or the bar. He then told us we couldn’t sit at the booth for a party of three unless each person ordered an entrée, which we said we would happily do. Before seating us or offering menus, he demanded to know our order, despite one person in our group never having been to Jones before. He insisted we name exact entrées to be seated without menus!
His rude, unwelcoming behavior forced us to leave, and he followed us out. The manager Cody, dismissed our concerns without apology. As the only Asian party in the restaurant at the time, the treatment felt concerning. We’ve never experienced anything like this here, and even Swingers under the same ownership, has never shown hostility.

From the moment we arrived, communication was extremely lacking. The host was dismissive and barely spoke to us, making it unclear where to go or what was happening with seating. The server and bartender were also very hard to engage with, minimal interaction, no real check-ins, and it felt like we were an inconvenience rather than guests.
The bar area was completely packed, and it was nearly impossible to get anyone’s attention or ask basic questions. Overall, the lack of hospitality and communication really took away from what could have been a nice experience.
For a place with this reputation, we expected a much higher level of service and professionalism

This place was so cute, and the food was good, unfortunately our server Caroline was not as enjoyable as the food, she was rushing us to order and seemed to be in a bad mood, I guess she knew the table next to us, and wanted to spend time with them instead and happened to watch her down two shots before returning to work, didn’t check on us, except when bringing the check, thankful for the food runners that tended to us, but I probably won’t return to dine in.

Jones is Not only an iconic Los Angeles restaurant it's also serving some of the best pizza and drinks in Hollywood if you are starving on a Thursday night at 11:00 p.m. I highly recommend stopping by ordering a pizza sitting at the bar or one of their comfy boots I'm getting a martini. I personally am a gimlet girl and these bartenders know what they are doing. My boyfriend and I were famished when we got here we asked the waiter for his recommendations I believe his name was Austin and let me tell you this waiter executed the assignment he recommended their salmon with the Wasabi mashed potatoes and it was a wonderful recommendation we also ordered the calamari and kale Caesar salad which were highly delicious

After a show, tried Formosa but it was almost 11 and their kitchen was closed and we were too hungry. The pointed us across the street, looked a little dank from the outside tbh, but took a chance. The place was lit and on a Tuesday! Great seats, great waitress, just dim enough to have a great vibe, and the food was good!

Jones was recommended by someone I saw earlier in the day and they did not disappoint! Wonderful staff, food and drinks! You couldn’t ask for a better atmosphere. I was looking for the best WEHO Italian restaurant and I found it! Reservations are obviously needed but luckily I was solo and squeezed in at the bar, my fave spot for dinner. Surprised ro see many other patrons enjoying the same scenario.

This bar is my go-to late-night spot! The pasta is absolutely delicious (especially their off-menu pink sauce pasta, which is creamy, flavorful, and totally addictive). I also love that they have amazing non-alcoholic drink options, so everyone can enjoy the night. The atmosphere is relaxed yet vibrant, perfect for unwinding with friends after a long day. It’s one of those hidden gems that feels special every time you go!
Love this spot - great staff, martinis are awesome, fun decor, good food

Great spot with a true LA vibe. Jones is perfect for a late-night dinner after a party, delicious food, solid cocktails, and that unmistakable Hollywood atmosphere. The kind of place where the night just keeps going in the best way
