What People Are Saying About J Restaurant & Lounge

Featured Review

Martha Burr

Contributor

In Short – Located in the former Little J's club space--a past fave of Stevie Wonder and Janet Jackson--this sprawling 25,000- square-foot venue includes an upscale casual restaurant, sexy lounge with a 30-foot bar and DJs music, sprawling patio with fire pit, cigar smoking section, VIP cabanas and L.A. skyline views. Chef Ryan McKay's (ex-L'Orangerie) menu features traditional American comfort fare, such as fried crab cakes, ahi tartare, grilled rib-eye steak, fish of the day and braised short ribs.

Editor's Tips

What to Drink:
Sommelier Frederic Hemon (formerly of L'Orangerie, Ortolon) offers limited wine selections from California, France, Italy and beyond; the bar is also stocked with rare cognacs, single-malt scotches, ports and whiskeys.
Know Before You Go:
The VIP nooks and tables surrounding the dance floor are reserved for bottle service on promoted nights; otherwise, they are open to anyone.
ambiance

  1. Great decor, Friendly bartenders!
  2. They draw a fun, very good looking & well styled crowd - definetely a good spot to meet people dancing or outside chatting.
  3. The service there was excellent and comfortable, something extremely rare in more trendy restaurants nowadays.
  4. The ambiance was great- but the food- HORRIBLE.
  5. The patio is really pretty too, very nicely layed out with good views of parts of the skyline.
  6. It's a great view from the patio, as you sip the BOTTOMLESS mimosas (and they're not in the slightest bit stingy with the Champaign or overly watered down with too much OJ)!
  7. Great place for after work drinks or a fun night out with friends!
  8. The Food was fairly priced and delicious, the ambiance was very warm and comfortable, you could tell from the start that the staff and management took time to make sure everyone was comfortable.
  9. But if it gets too much, kick back in the Lounge or patio with a pit fire and romantic private cabanas.
  10. Probably not the best place for a laid-back experience, but something to check out when you're looking for more of a fun night out.
  11. It is romantic and the atmosphere is amazing.
  12. Very romantic place.
  13. If your idea of a fun time consists of terrible service, tasteless food, uninteresting crowd.
  14. It's so hard to find a place that has great food and a hip and inviting atmosphere that doesn't have everyone flocking to it yet.
  15. There are 6 cabanas, its own bar, and a superb view of the downtown skyline and a really cool fire pit.
  16. The decor is great, the dance floor was large and well air conditioned.
  17. Otherwise, the service was great, the food was great, the ambience was great.
  18. Large plasma TV's adorn the walls of the VIP room, comfortable suede couches and retro-style ottoman's provide more than enough seating and an outdoor patio, complete with cabanas and a fire pit, allow for extra space, a casual atmosphere and the opportun
  19. The view of downtown is incredible.
  20. The atmosphere is great, nice furnishings and very romantic.
  21. FYI too, I have been to this place more than once, always with the hopes of it changing because I like the decor, and each time I had a worse experience and been more disappointed always leaving upset.
  22. Checked this place out last Friday and loved the decor.
  23. If more people knew about J lounge, they would apprectaie the gorgoeus decor, delicious gourmet food, and beautiful views of the downtown skyline.
  24. It has a nice atmosphere.
  25. Awesome view
  26. Great food, ambiance and a nice time.
  27. But the bar has a phenomenal view of downtown, a great patio you almost feel like you are in someone's backyard, maybe in NYC.
  28. Drinks are good they will add 18% tip on your tab no need to park valet, there is a $5 parking near by
  29. The J Lounge Restaurant has atmosphere, fantastic food and is an escape from Los Angeles.
  30. This place felt so cozy.
  31. First off, parking was good, was only $5, lots of it.
  32. But had I known how much this place sucked then I wouldn't have paid it, but instead tried to get street parking somewhere.
  33. love the setting and the decor, It reminds me of a Miami meets New York kind of scene.
  34. and while at it listing to some lame a** music from a lame a** sound system, in a completely fake atmosphere and a fake not know any better crowd.
dessert

  1. We ordered bread pudding for dessert which was sold out, so we opted for the apple strudel and chocolate dome instead, both desserts were fine but they couldn't redeem such a lousy meal.

  1. Restaurant and Lounge is a great place to go for drinks, good food, plus they have a nice patio.
  2. Great place for a drink
  3. And, I forgot to mention that the drinks at the bar were overpriced, yet they were still weak.
  4. The upstair bar and dance floor was also really nice.
  5. The drinks are overpriced and not very strong.
  6. The wine list has a good selection of old world and new world at decent prices.
  7. If anyone is in or near the downtown area than this is the perfect place to come for dinner and stay around to drink.
  8. But the bar has a phenomenal view of downtown, a great patio you almost feel like you are in someone's backyard, maybe in NYC.
  9. We all appreciate good food, service, and wine, and we were totally willing to spend some $$$ for it.
  10. The food and the drinks are WAY OVERPRICED!
  11. To top it off- out waitress was slow as could be & didn't know anything about any item on the menu or any drink at the bar.
  12. I've never experienced this level of rudeness anywere - completely unwarranted, as the music is spotty to poor, drinks are ridiculously overpriced and let's face it - it's downtown LA, a few blocks from skid row, not Hollywood.
  13. The bar is swanky and subdued--great lighting, great design features--a great place if you're not into the gaudy and annoying "Hollywood" bars that pepper the Sunset Strip.
  14. Happy hours during the week to enjoy the delicious pizzas, bar menu after a basket ball game(the J burger is fantastic), wenesday/thursday USC party, fridays and saturdays clubbing.
  15. The service was not great, nobody ever refilled my hubby's iced tea glass even once, and the waiter was a bit of a smart alec who could have cared less if we were happy or not.
  16. The drinks were not very good either and for being such a big bar, it took like 5 minutes to get our drinks.
  17. 45 minutes in line to get a stupid drink.
  18. felt the drink was overpriced and the flavor was sub-par.
  19. The drinks were awesome (the Mango Mojito's were absolutely delicious).
  20. great food, great service, great drinks.
  21. We went over to the upstairs bar near the smoking patio and the 2 male bartenders were rude, unattentive and more interested in carrying long winded conversations with friends than in providing service to the paying customers.
  22. worst service, incorrect menu, pricey drinks
  23. We kicked back on the cigar lounge, smoked cigars, had a few cocktails & ate some amazing pizza!
  24. haven't dined here, but this is a great place to grab drinks.
  25. At the end of the night i found out that after 10 o'clock the have a 10 dollar cover charge which isn't that bad compared to other lounge and some people were complaining but I was like com'on if you cant pay 10 bucks to get in then you're not goin to spe
  26. big dancefloor, intimate lounge areas, a sports bar, a huge outdoor area with cabanas.
  27. **WARNING** Very expensive for drinks lets say to coronas about 14$ no go
  28. the service was bad, the food was worse, and the drinks were so overprices it was a joke.
  29. Stemming from a chef who's bases his cooking on the notion that "spices were invented to cover the rancidity of meat" J Restaurant and Lounge takes its terrible attention to quality of food and carries it over into their service and drinks.
  30. Restaurant and Lounge is cool during the weekdays when you just want to chill, drink, eat, smoke and watch some sports and girls.
  31. But the patio is great for apres work cocktails!
  32. The beer selection is nice and have some nice cocktails too, though a bit pricey.
  33. They have an outdoor patio and an indoor area with seating and a full bar.
  34. Great place for after work drinks or a fun night out with friends!

  37. the night was perfect, all my guest who happen to be in the entertainment or service industry were very impressed with the place, the drinks were great and my waitress Carlisle was outstanding, she made sure everyone was taken care of with there drinks, b
  38. Overpriced drinks, which I'm immune to these days in LA and don't mind paying for when service is friendly, are coupled with attitudinal bartenders and unknowledgable waitresses.
  39. Everyone was highly impressed with thier meal, as well as the vast and unique wine selection.

  6. If you have to go- DO NOT EAT THERE- i had other friend who ate there that night also & their food was horrible as well.

  48. The service was good.
  49. and my gosh, I echo the reviews about bad service.
  50. Lauren is an absolutely fantastic server.
  51. First, the hostess wasn't very friendly and this is your first reflection of the restaurant - very unwelcoming.
  52. We went over to the upstairs bar near the smoking patio and the 2 male bartenders were rude, unattentive and more interested in carrying long winded conversations with friends than in providing service to the paying customers.
  53. And if you want to put up with the attitude and rude remarks from the hostess, this is definitely the place to go.
  54. One of the WORST places to go, staff is RUDE and ARROGANT for no reason.
  55. We went upstairs and wanted to order food but we were told that all the seating sections were going to be bottle service only in a few minutes, so we didn't order.
  56. assure you, any good reviews posted were either posted by J Lounge management/staff or were posted months ago when this place was actually enjoyable.
  57. To start off, we were greeted or not by the inexperienced hostess who stood there and gave us the cold stare as we arrive.
  58. we talked to the hostess who was very nice and accomadating and she took down our info and said see you then!

  63. Great decor, Friendly bartenders!
  64. Maybe it was something in the water that night, I paid an expensive price for awful food and rude service.
  65. Depending on who is your server, service is a gamble and the knowledgeable staff is absent.
  66. not very customer friendly.
  67. The drawbacks are the poor service (most likely due to J's infancy), and the ssshh talk in the rear patio due to nearby loft dwellers.
  68. My only complaint is the rude manager that I originally booked my table with.
  69. Our server was excellent, the hostess friendly and the rest of the staff were both attractive and highly diligent.

  25. For the price you pay I would not recommend this place to anyone.
  26. The music was ok, the place has a huge outdoor patio in case you're looking for freash air.

  1. The drinks were not very good either and for being such a big bar, it took like 5 minutes to get our drinks.
  2. food arrived very slow 4.
  3. 45 minutes in line to get a stupid drink.
  4. To top it off- out waitress was slow as could be & didn't know anything about any item on the menu or any drink at the bar.
  5. had to argue with the bouncer, who was actually pretty friendly, for five minutes to let me in because I had some white on my shoes.
  6. We went upstairs and wanted to order food but we were told that all the seating sections were going to be bottle service only in a few minutes, so we didn't order.
  7. We went over to the upstairs bar near the smoking patio and the 2 male bartenders were rude, unattentive and more interested in carrying long winded conversations with friends than in providing service to the paying customers.
  8. think this is a good sign as long as the service is equally good which it was.
  9. enjoyed the new resturant and lounge in Downtown L.A. where I can just enjoy the good food and party all night long.
  10. While the facade it puts on reminds its patrons of a place that once had class and character, this newly renovated and "revamped" lounge is by far the worst experience I have had in LA in a long time.

Awesome atmosphere!

by donsmith72567

I was very impressive with the location, it was not hard to find and the place is huge! I went to a gathering in the patio, it was on the coldest night possible but the staffs did a terrific job with the heat lamps. The bartenders were friendly and the price was not at all bad.
