Jar Restaurant

For the last two decades, Suzanne Tracht’s Beverly Grove eatery has served a lightly Asian-inspired steakhouse menu that has kept Angelenos hooked thanks to a delicious char siu pork chop (once featured on the Cooking Channel’s Best Thing I Ever Ate) and the melt-in-your mouth signature pot roast. Traditional sides like blue cheese wedge salad and creamed corn get the white-glove treatment here, and every cut of beef, pork or chicken is worth an order. It's also worth noting the mid-century modern dining room has made several notable film appearances, including in La La Land, and for good reason: with a well-made cocktail in hand and delicious food in front of you, the dim-lit dining room feels downright cinematic.
