Jar

Wow what an experience! We had a fantastic dinner here for Christmas Eve, and it was all around a good time. Absolutely recommend coming here, in fact we'll definitely be back soon ourselves!Food: 5/5My partner and I had been snacking and restaurant hopping prior to going to dinner, so we ended up splitting a steak. I was a little worried about how that might be perceived in a venue like this, but our waiter was very friendly and made us feel very comfortable with doing that.We ordered the Prime Ribeye & Jar French Fries. Both were DELICIOUS. I had read some reviews prior for both of these menu picks stating that they were over salted and overcooked, but I would disagree wholeheartedly with those reviews. The steak was a perfect medium-rare for us, the fat melted in our mouths, and the fries were deliciously well-seasoned. I'm usually picky about fat on steak cuts, but I ate all of it without any complaint. One of the best steaks I've ever had, and I've eaten at a lot of steakhouses globally. My partner was so happy with the meal as well, as I recall them telling me about how "even though we were so full, the more I eat this the hungrier I get!" And that was so true! Dessert: 4/5 We got a Butterscotch Pudding to split & I got an Espresso Martini. The Martini was unusually strong, at least for me (I have a high tolerance), so the point down is for that. But again, shoutout to our waiter! He brought a little cup of chocolate sauce for me to add to my drink to make it less heavy, which helped considerably. The pudding was also so good. It was whipped, light, and airy, and again--normally I have an issue with certain textures but even the whipped cream I enjoyed! I usually greatly dislike whipped cream. But not this one. The flavor wasn't too rich, and it was just perfect! My partner was a big fan of this one too.Service: 5/5 OUTSTANDING! I believe his name was Daniel? I might be wrong, but my partner would likely know for sure. I'll update this review later for that! But oh my goodness he was fantastic. My partner rarely dines out, especially at upscale fine dining establishments. So he was a bit nervous however, our waiter made all of these worries dissipate. He was so fun, so energetic, and so accommodating! His silly santa hat was the cherry on top, plus all of the menu recommendations. At the start of the evening we had a significant wait time despite having a reservation. But all of that quickly was out of sight & out of mind because of the great service. Thank you for making our evening so special! We were more than happy to tip him well, especially for working on a holiday evening. All around: 5/5! I highly recommend this restaurant, and we'll be back soon! Happy holidays Jar!!

chose to book a reservation for Valentine's Day 2025 at Jar based on excitement regarding their menu. We've been wanting to dine here for a while and thought this would be the perfect opportunity. When I made the reservation I was called by the restaurant and given instructions about when to arrive, etc. I was not told at any point that they wouldn't be serving their regular menu and that instead they'd be offering a set menu. Our reservation was at 8:30PM; when we got there at 8:15PM as instructed, there was a long line outside of the check-in area. It was cold and no heaters were provided. Everyone in line had a reservation, that's how late the restaurant was. We stood there for 20 mins and no one from the restaurant came out to explain what was going on; diners were forced to educate newcomers to the line and because of the disorganization we were cut in line multiple times. Someone finally did come out but no apology was given, just a joke about love being everywhere (the joke didn't land lol). When we finally checked in, a half hour after our scheduled reservation, we were told it would be another 30-40 minute wait; we were herded, like everyone else, to the bar area-- no free drinks offered, no apology. That's when I first noticed the set menu. $175 for what looked, to me, like the worst options on their menu. No signature dish of Pot Roast, no opportunity to order sides a la carte. Again, this was never communicated to me.This was a shockingly bad experience and sorely disappointing. We did not stay for dinner because of everything mentioned, and it really ruined our Valentine's celebration. The lack of care and apology really hit me-- people choose to celebrate at a place for a reason and being treated like this (at a pricey, upscale place in Beverly Hills no less) was really a bummer. I really don't know that we'll ever go back. My first job was as a hostess at a Red Lobster in middle of nowhere Ohio and I swear to god we had more decorum and sense of care about us there than this place did on Valentines 2025.

I never leave reviews, but my experience at Jar on Valentine's Day was so disappointing that I feel compelled to warn others.We had a prepaid reservation for 7 PM but were not seated until 8:45 PM--and didn't get our food until 10 PM. That alone was unacceptable, but the food made it even worse. Overcooked steak, dry and tiny potatoes, and beans that just tasted like smoke.I don't blame the staff--they were clearly overwhelmed and just as frustrated as the guests. This was a blatant case of overbooking for a $450 prix-fixe dinner, and management showed zero regard for both customers and employees. It felt like a money grab at the expense of everyone's experience.What a shame. Hopefully, Jar learns a lesson from this disaster and treats both its patrons and staff with more respect in the future.

Single handedly, the worst dining experience of my life. We had a 7pm reservation for Valentine's Day, and didn't get seating until 9:15. Food was mediocre at best, insanely over priced for what we got, and service was terrible. Never, ever go here.

Had a great dinner at 5:30 on January 18, for four, my actual birthdate. It's a quaint place where people join in conversation, drinks and tasty snacks. John waited on us and was excellent. He told me JAR means Just Another Restaurant. Hmm? Suzanne visited our table and wished me happy birthday. Her eyes sparkled when we talked about how wonderful the dinner experience was. We had Fries, onion rings, cocktails , cha chu pork, ribeye, special bone in buffalo steak, pea tendrils, duck fried rice, Kim chi Brussel sprouts, chocolate pudding, and after dinner drinks. Fast forward, February 16. Dinner for 3. Chris waited on us and was very attentive. Everything was great as before except for the special duck beast special. It was extremely dry and flavorless. I apologize, I had to send it back and asked for a ribeye steak instead and it was delicious. See you soon!

Despite having a reservation and having pre-paid for the Valentine's Day dinner, we were left hanging and never got seated. There was very poor communication from the staff regarding the reason they were so behind. There was nothing offered to the many couples that waited for more than an hour and a half; not a glass of water, a glass of champagne, not a piece of bread. The tables seemed tightly packed, and there was nowhere to stand inside because so many people were waiting to be seated. We plan to be refunded for a reservation we never got to use and will not return to Jar. We ended up having a much more enjoyable meal and experience at another nearby restaurant that welcomed us.

So we started with a couple of cocktails then several appetizers; crab deviled eggs, roasted beet salad and the Roquefort wedge salad. Three of us shared the John Dory, onion rings and the creamed spinach. Everything was excellent, and the service was terrific. Keven, our waiter did an amazing job. Desert was banana cream pie and a sundae.

Don't recommend. They ruined our Valentine's Day. We made a reservation for 8 pm and arrived at 750 to a line out the door. They told us approximately 25 minutes to wait which was a blatant lie. After about an hour of waiting on our feet we left.

HORRIBLE VALENTINE'S DAY EXPERIENCE! Just like MANY OTHER DINERS, we were given a lackluster menu, ignored by our waiter, and crammed right next to the door looking at huge lines of other disappointed diners who had reservations but somehow no table for them? The food was so bad, the price SO HIGH, the desserts were worse than a cafeteria. If you still are booking them for this weekend's fixed price scam, CHANGE YOUR RESERVATIONS NOW! My $30 glass of wine was less than 4 ounces. It was our worst Valentine's Day ever.

Extremely disappointing experience. Despite having a reservation, we waited over an hour to be seated. The food was awful, but what really stood out was the terrible service. As a server myself, I rarely complain about service, but this was by far the worst I've ever experienced. Unprofessional, inattentive and downright rude. Never eat at the Jar ever again. Save yourself the trouble--DO NOT go here.
