Jar

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!

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.

Food was mid, best thing was the pot roast, which is a 7 on a good day. The cake taste like it’s 5 days old and from Costco. Server was cool, good service. For 200 dollars less, go down the street to Mastro’s for 10x the flavor environment. Good if you want hospital food, or just don’t have any tastebuds. Water was fresh tho!

BEWARE Valentine’s Day Reservations If you plan to make a Valentine’s Day reservation here, please be cautious. My partner surprised me with a reservation at Jar and paid $500 for Valentine’s Day (February 2026). When we arrived, there were around 40 (unhappy and confused) people waiting to be seated for their reservations. We were told it would be a 30-minute wait for a post 8pm reservation. However, while waiting, we learned that others had already been there for 45 minutes to over an hour, despite also being told their wait would only be 20–30 minutes. Looking around, most tables didn’t even have food yet. The atmosphere in the restaurant was extremely uncomfortable and stressful. After waiting 30 minutes, we requested a refund because it was clear the delay would be much longer. The manager told us we could not receive a refund until Wednesday of that week and would not take any of our information to confirm it would be processed. Fortunately, when we called on Wednesday, someone at Jar did honor the refund. The manager’s response was notably detached and lacked concern for the stress faced by guests. When asked if the system went down and caused this issue, the manager shifted the blame on the patrons by saying "people just overbooked the system". After reading reviews from the past four years, it seems this happens every Valentine’s Day. Jar may provide fine service on regular days, but their Valentine’s Day operations feel misleading at best. No one wants to spend $500 on a reservation only to leave hungry after a long wait. Jar, get it together and get a clue.

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.
